…still rising, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Maintenance With smart machines, industrial sensors, and full connectivity throughout the facility, maintenance managers and technicians can gain more insight than ever into the real-time performance, health, and status of machinery. Sensors and other condition monitoring tools can be aftermarket or integrated into the equipment, as with many newer machines. These devices provide ongoing data that can help detect the initial stages of potential failure modes, well before unplanned downtime occurs. This early detection strategy can help technicians to predict potential problems and choose low-impact times to diagnose them and…

…Robotics Report 2022 from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). That ongoing growth was driven by factors including labor shortages, reshoring initiatives, and rising e-commerce demand, said the IFR. A spinoff of the University of Washington, Olis Robotics claimed in a release that its Olis Connect system can significantly improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and address costly robot downtime. “Robot downtime can cost a large plant over $1 million per hour. When every minute counts, you need to leverage remote tools to react as quickly as possible, no matter where you are,” said Fredrik Ryden, CEO of Olis Robotics. “Our…

…robot market, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Yet, a considerable number of Spanish companies, particularly smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), have not yet automated and need support to get started, Salvador added. ”Many businesses are still not aware of how much they could gain from automation, how far the technology has come today, and how ease of implementation has improved,” he said. “Getting more public knowledge about this is essential.” Robotics in Spain, by the numbers Industrial robot sales in Spain increased by 24.7%, and service robot sales increased by 25.8% in 2022, according to recently published…

…preliminary 2022 data from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) indicates there is some cooling of the industrial robotics market after record growth in 2022, the long-term outlook for robotics uptake remains bullish. It’s worth noting that A3’s data is based on orders, while the IFR data is based on installations, so there is a lag effect when examining these reports, in that installs/shipments trail orders. The consensus is that over the shorter term, macro-economic factors like inflation and higher interest rates have slowed the industrial robotics market growth somewhat, though the automotive sector remains strong. What’s more, the long-term…

…(CAGR) of 7%, predicted the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Source: HowToRobot In Italy, robots and automation are already widely adopted, and several trends are expected to further increase the need for automation, said HowToRobot. These factors include growing labor shortages, e-commerce growth, and competitive pressures to increase productivity. One of the key strengths of the Italian robotics industry is its ability to quickly adapt to changing demands, noted the market report. The industry is heavily specialized in creating and integrating proven systems to the needs of end users, it said. About the Italian robotics industry The report, “Market Analysis…

…industry. Recent reports from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) and A3 may differ on North American market growth, but they both noted that automakers and their suppliers again lead in robotics purchasing and use. The FANUC M-1000ia robot arm (see video below) moving a 1,000 kg (2,205.6 lb.) battery was one of the biggest returning displays on the show floor, coinciding with the industry shift toward electric vehicles. ABB is investing $20 million to modernize and expand its production in Auburn Hills, Mich. In comparison with Automate 2022, there were fewer autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated storage and…
