…Once that is complete, the AMRs are designed for ease of use by your operational team. No more training is needed than for any other new technology addition, and you do not need a team of robotics engineers on staff. 3. AMRs are too expensive When you look at an AMR it’s easy to jump to the conclusion that they are too expensive for the average warehouse. They seem like a futuristic technology decades in the making, and an investment that only top-tier warehouses can afford. In reality, many AMR solutions are affordable for any size warehouse. Many of the…

…factors when choosing a 3D printer. Costs, reliability and ease of use play important roles in decision-making. A whole 95% of respondents rated reliability as an important benefit, while 90% said ease of use was important and 89% said costs were important. “The importance of 3D printing in education cannot be overstated. The report revealed the shift from traditional learning environments to more interactive and engaging approaches. By teaching visualization, design and creation via 3D printing, 3D printing opens up opportunities for students and brings ideas to life,” adds Goshen. About the Study MakerBot surveyed over 1,000 education professionals who…

Ease of use has been a mantra among robotics vendors in the past few years as they seek to expand adoption. Sensors and software have proven to be the “secret sauce” in automating new tasks. Realtime Robotics Inc. has developed proprietary motion-control technology to enable industrial robots to collaborate with human workers. Yesterday, the company announced completion of a $31.4 million Series A round. Realtime Robotics, which was founded in 2016, said it plans to use its funding to accelerate product rollouts. The Boston-based startup is a resident member of MassRobotics, an organization dedicated to growing the Massachusetts robotics ecosystem…

…event were increased reach, vison-based guidance, and interfaces for ease of use. Vendors also touted cable management, new sensors, and greater payload capacities for arc welding and other industrial processes. “For 40 years, robotic arc welding evolved incrementally,” said Joe Campbell, senior manager of applications development and strategic marketing at Universal Robots. “Collaborative arc welding is the first disruptive technology to hit the robotic arc-welding market since the introduction of DC servo-powered robots.” He attributed the rapid market traction to several key drivers including a significant shortage of welders, increase in high-mix/low-volume production, and the fact that cobot welders are…

…automation that combines industrial-grade robot welding functionality with consumer-level ease of use,” stated Rob Goldiez, co-founder and CEO of Hirebotics. Cobot Welder is designed to allow workers who are not robotics programmers to teach a collaborative robot new parts and welds. The smartphone app runs on Hirebotics' cloud-based Beacon platform for building and monitoring applications. Launched last year, Beacon is certified in the UR+ support ecosystem of cobot leader Universal Robots A/S. Hirebotics was founded in 2015 and collaborated in the development of the BotX cobot welding system. Odense, Denmark-based Universal Robots was founded in 2005 and is part of…

…from them, we can look at cobot safety and ease of use in more detail. Our first post explained that collaborative robots are robot arms designed to work near humans in industrial settings. They are also designed so that workers who are not robotics experts can more easily program them. Cobot safety standards Cobot safety standards are governed by ISO/TS 15066. This standard is very deliberate in differentiating between a robot and a robot system. In simple terms, a robot is the industrial arm and its controller. While the robot arm itself can move around in a workspace, there is…

…are not all the same in either performance or ease of use. Cobots can fill a wide range of roles, but the best cobot for teaching and educational purposes may not necessarily be the best cobot for an industrial process such as sanding or assembly. When selecting a cobot, the first question to answer is what are you trying to do with the cobot? The answer to that question will help determine what attributes are most important to you. Once you have answered this question, consider the following factors, evaluated with level of importance for your application, to narrow down…
