The Interplay Between Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing
AI and robotics make the factories of the future smarter and more efficient. Manufacturers need to use these exponential technologies to gain a competitive advantage.
Special Agents: Chemical Weapons Disposal Done Right
The M55 rocket stockpile was successfully destroyed without any major incidents. With so many complex systems, processes, and disposal procedures, the Robosuits played a key role in ensuring that all of the careful planning and timing would not be disrupted.
PACK EXPO 2023 Product Preview
PACK EXPO 2023 takes place September 11th - 13th in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Exhibit hall floor will be loaded with new products and services. Here is a preview of some things to look forward to at this years event.
Tompkins Industries Reaches New Heights with its Vertical Lift Automation System
The automated vertical lift project kicked off in January 2022 and relied heavily on technical assistance from the team at PathGuide to incorporate the automated vertical lift into Latitude.
Talking AUTOMATE 2023 with Stäubli
When you visit us at booth 2632, you will be able to experience a live demo of our robotic tool changer system, as well as our new end-of-arm-tooling solutions for material handling in automated manufacturing processes including gripping, suction, and cutting.
Forklift Safety: AGVs to the Rescue
As a relatively new addition to site operations, standards and data on AGV safety are still developing, but some AGV manufacturers are going above and beyond the minimum requirements to help ensure accident-free operations.
Intelligent Box Opening Device (IBOD)
You have lots of cartons coming into a typical warehouse, let's say 600 boxes per hour, and razor blades are used to cut these boxes while keeping up with intake speeds. This invites risks and employees still get injured, despite safety precautions.
The Essential Role of Conveyors in Your Material Handling System
When it comes to efficient and effective material handling, conveyors are an invaluable component of any system. Conveyor systems streamline processes, reduce manual labor costs, and optimize productivity by moving materials from one place to another.
Improving Materials Processing With Robotics
End users are looking to machine builders to provide innovative solutions that improve upon the speed and accuracy of manual-based applications while maintaining the same level of flexibility.
DENSO Increases Efficiencies, Improves Morale with Fleet of MiR250 Autonomous Mobile Robots

Tier 1 automotive supplier reached fast ROI with Mobile Industrial Robot's safe, flexible AMRs tasked with transporting materials around its 800,000 square foot powertrain component production facility in Athens, Tennessee
TE Connectivity - Hungary Case Study
Back in 2019, TE's Hungarian plant was experiencing problems in material handling due to the inefficiency of their existing material handling systems, which had reached the limit of its capabilities.
Robots Work Smarter When They Work Together
As a growing number of D & F operations embrace smart robotics, some powerful new synergies are starting to emerge. Each robotic system has strengths to offer, but when combined in an integrated workflow, the whole can be much greater than "the sum of its 'bots".
Cincoze DI-1000 Drives AGVs in Factories and Warehouses
An enormous warehouse necessitates mapping of thousands of positions, and for the system to track order numbers and individual products on the pallets while transmitting information wirelessly back to the central control room for collection and monitoring.
Unilever Konya HPC Factory Case Study
With four different material types needing to be transported twenty-four hours nonstop for over 100 distribution points, it was a complex issue requiring a sophisticated solution
Robotic Washdown in Food-Handling Environments
Heavy washdown and harsh chemical solutions used to clean robots in FDA and USDA sanitary environments for food processing can impact the robot finish, as well as leave condensation on robotic machinery that could potentially reach food products
being handled.

TM Robotics - Shibaura Machine THE SCARA range
The THE range from Shibaura Machine is an extensive line up of SCARA robots. Available in four arm lengths THE400 (400mm), THE600 (600mm) and the most recent THE800 (800mm) and THE1000 (1000mm), this range is suitable for assembly, handling, inspection and pick and place processes in varied industrial applications. The THE1000 boasts a 20kg payload capacity and an impressive 0.44 second cycle time, providing high speeds for processes with large components. In fact, the range has been recognised for as the price-to-performance leader compared to other SCARA models in its price range due to its impressive speed versus payload capacity.
