The use of robotics in manufacturing has benefits far beyond efficiency. As such, this technology can be a sound investment even if it does not deliver significant electrical consumption reductions.
NREL Invites Robots To Help Make Wind Turbine Blades
Although robots have been used by the wind energy industry to paint and polish blades, automation has not been widely adopted. Research at the laboratory demonstrates the ability of a robot to trim, grind, and sand blades.
Terabase Energy Completes First Commercial Deployment of Terafab™ Solar Construction Automation System
The benefits demonstrated by this project underscore the transformative potential of automation in advancing solar construction practices, enabling us to accelerate and de-risk our project pipeline
How Robotics Can Help Global Renewable Energy Goals & Create Jobs
By buffering the dangerous aspects of solar module maneuvering and installation, these smart robotic arms are creating processes to move solar equipment faster and build sites with fewer errors.
How Can the Utilities Industry Benefit from Robotics?

For the utility industry, these new robotics could offer significant benefits - and, in some cases, we're already beginning to see how the adoption of robots can make utility work safer and more productive.
3 Trends in Robotics Energy Consumption
Energy efficiency is an increasingly prominent concern as electronics adoption and environmental consciousness both rise. Robotics must consume less energy to sustain their growth in the future.
Energy Saving in Die Casting Automation
Die casting, the process of forcing molten metal into molds, is far from new. Today, casting processes use a lot more advanced technology, specifically robots, than in years past. These 'bots have many advantages in die casting, but energy saving is one of the most substantial.
Robotic Assistance and the Future of Energy Sustainability
We already know that robotics can help protect our oceans in a number of ways, from improving wastewater treatment to improving fuel efficiency on ships. Thus, it makes sense that robotic assistance can have a positive impact on the sustainable energy sector.
