…“In our numbers and the data collected by the IFR [International Federation of Robotics], we don't get into what's happening in e-commerce right now, so it's not a full picture.” “The biggest non-automotive sector is e-commerce logistics and AMRs [autonomous mobile robots],” said Burnstein. “If anything, our figures are conservative, since we can't say how many AMRs and collaborative robots were sold.” Jeff Burnstein, president, A3 Burstein declined to speculate on whether there will be consolidation among AMR or cobot providers, but he did say that he expects reshoring of production and growing awareness by small and midsize enterprises (SMEs)…

…10,000 human workers, said the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Robotics suppliers can be found across Spain. Source: HowToRobot Spain is home to many integrators The report identified a total of 384 robotics and automation suppliers in Spain. The vast majority of them—65%—were integrators, with 11 % being robot manufacturers. While most industrial robots in Spain are imported, a significant numer of mobile robots was developed and manufactured locally, said the report. With 96% of Spanish companies having nine or fewer employees, the need for service providers is significant, said HowToRobot. “Spain is in a leading position with many local…

…the U.S., according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Robot density is increasing worldwide, as increasingly sophisticated software, robots, and additive manufacturing make production quicker and more efficient. The software development journey typically starts with the creation of the user interface portion, as outlined by Maryville University. Programmers eventually move on to craft the code that processes, analyzes, and responds to the data collected by robots and other systems. Developers must constantly learn about specific processes to retrofit code or hardware to evolving business and market needs. For the plastics industry, integrated robots and software offer innovative solutions for…

…in Europe, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). “The robotics and automation industry is booming,” stated Frank Konrad, chairman of VDMA Robotics + Automation (VDMA R+A). “However, suppliers will not be able to process the orders that are on the books as quickly as usual. The challenge now is to manage bottlenecks in the supply chains.” Three subsectors grow in 2021, 2022 The VDMA noted that three subsectors performed differently in the past year. In 2021, industrial robot sales in Germany increased by 13% to €3.5 billion ($3.6 billion), it said. Machine vision sales grew by 16% to…

…According to data from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) 2022 World Robotics Report, industrial robot installations in Europe were up 24% to 84,302 units in 2021. Adaptive robotics, or robots that can learn new tasks through AI without needing to be reprogrammed, are on the cutting edge of this growth, The RoboSAPIENS consortium said. While adaptive robots play an integral role in advancing the efficiency of collaborative robotics environments in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics, challenges remain in ensuring the safety and trustworthiness of such technology. Trustworthiness checkers for deep learning AI RoboSAPIENS said it aims to advance…

…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…
