Autonomous mobile robots (#AMRs) are one of the more popular #robot types used in #manufacturing for their ability to self navigate around a facility. To do this, these #robots use a variety of 3D #sensor technologies for depth perception: stereo cameras, LiDAR, time-of- flight cameras and laser triangulation.

?????? ?? ?????????? ?????? ???? ?????? ?????????????? ?????????? End of arm tooling (EOAT) refers to the devices attached to the end of a #robotic arm that allow it to interact with objects and perform specific tasks. These tools range from simple #grippers to advanced multi-functional systems equipped with #sensors and #vision technology. The 5 main types of #EOAT are:? ? Grippers ? Material removal tools ? Material deposition tools ? Vision-guided tools ? Custom and multi-functional tools Get up to speed on the various EOAT types, the key considerations for their use and how to make the choice between an off-the-shelf EOAT or a custom designed EOAT at:? https://lnkd.in/ebQXHHN8 Concept Systems Inc Jordan Meader Control System Integrators Association (CSIA)

As more manufacturers aim to recruit #GenZ workers, it’s essential to ensure all?instructions are available on their connected #digital platforms. Why? Because younger?workers are tuned in to search for answers and instructions digitally — so making content available digitally is critical to retain these workers and empower them to take?ownership of their role. In addition, frontline workers need content that can be easily and quickly understood and?assimilated. That means it needs to be available in multiple formats. But creating all this content in different formats takes a lot of time and capital. Factories have thousands of?existing content files, such as standard operating procedures and work instructions. However, converting each one into an easily accessible location can be costly and time?intensive. Find out how #AI can streamline the creation or conversion of each type of content using AI-powered content transformation to drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to provide digital or written instructions in one secure location at: https://lnkd.in/ediA563W Yannick Haeck Poka Inc.

Learn how real-world manufacturers are using data #analytics, AI-powered vision #inspection systems, #augmentedreality, and #digitaltwins for applications ranging from #OEE improvements to #predictivemaintenance to create more flexible production operations. You’ll also learn the benefits of connecting plant floor assets, leveraging #IoT cloud-based systems, and using #genAI for smarter, faster workflows.

?????? ?????? ???? ???????????????? ???? ?????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ?????? Across any #industrial facility, the production process requires a massive number of slow, variable, physical processes, such as moving #pallets, scanning #barcodes, checking #inventory, building kits and signing off on critical stages. Some of those processes can be automated, especially with the increase in #robotics, but many remain exclusively manual tasks.?And with manual tasks comes unpredictable variability, something that makes these activities hard to code into other #automation systems. When it comes to creating workflows for these types of flexible processes, #MES is ideal, thereby making it a critical piece of the automation puzzle. But it remains just a piece. To be a truly effective part of the automation ecosystem, an MES must integrate with the other systems, such as those connecting #data, performing high speed control, managing #maintenance and equipment hierarchies and performing #ERP tasks.
