Food and Beverage Survey Shows Increasing Output is a Major Driver for Integrating Robots
Adding robot systems to any stage in food and beverage manufacturing will help to increase throughput. Robots work consistently, around-the-clock allowing for dependable production rates. The latest innovations increase production flexibility and decrease changeover time.
Britain must embrace 'Industry 4.0' as robots can create thousands of jobs, says report
Purvai Dua for London Loves Business: Britains manufacturing sector could add £455bn over the next decade and create thousands of jobs if it unlocks the fourth industrial revolution
Rockwell Automation Invests in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Industrial Automation
Rockwell Automation today announced its investment in The Hive, a Silicon Valley innovation fund and co-creation studio, to gain access to an ecosystem of innovators and technology start-ups with a focus on applications of artificial intelligence (AI) to industrial automation.
Data-Driven Quality Needs Quality-Driven Data
Process Data is the input for the second generation of data-driven quality technologies. The technology is particularly useful in assemblies such as control arms which combine heavy-duty stamping with resilient components that are difficult to position accurately and repeatably.
The Rockwell Automation Bidding Starts at $27 Billion
Brooke Sullivan for Bloomberg: The $27 billion proposal -- like the several before that Emerson has reportedly made -- was resoundingly rejected.
Manufacturing Challenges and Industry 4.0
As we move deeper into the Industry 4.0 era, advancements in automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing and big data play an increasingly important role in how factories operate.
Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing
Modern systems are paving the way to allow our customers to make products people want in the way they want them, instead of making products and spending our time trying to make people want them.
Lean Manufacturing: Eliminate the 7 Wastes With Self-driving Vehicles
The 7 Wastes are tasks or processes that provide little to no added value to the product or to the user experience.
Webalo Launches No-Code App Generation Platform for IIoT
Chris J. Preimesberger for eWeek: Webalo 4.0 gives enterprise users the ability to quickly and automatically generate dynamic desktop and mobile persona-based apps using wizards and drop-down menus.
Why Direct Drive?
To understand these benefits, we start with the basic concept of direct drive whereby the force of a motor is directly applied to a mechanism without any intermediate drive train such as a gearbox or toothed belt etc. The core working principles of direct drive motor technology is in essence based on the right hand rule of electromagnetism, whereby a current moving through a wound coil creates a magnetic field.
Field Logic Controllers (FLCs) expand control options for industrial environments
FLCs can be used in standalone applications or as a way to expand I/O without adding more I/O points to a PLC.
Technological Trends and Practical Examples of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Demands for greater variety, lower cost, improved quality, and smaller batch sizes can turn a prosperous production into a fading one. Fully automated production cells can resolve the issue.
Veo Robotics raises $12 million to help machines and humans collaborate more efficiently
BÉRÉNICE MAGISTRETTI for VentureBeat: Sobalvarro and his team are trying to reduce the manual labor humans shoulder in industrial work settings, leaving the heavy lifting to the robots.
Apple and GE just put iOS inside Industry 4.0
Jonny Evans for ComputerWorld: Apple and GEs new agreement opens the door for further iOS deployment across industry infrastructure and puts Apple at the core of digital transformation.
