Visionic, an Israeli-based company that creates optical guidance and control solutions for industrial applications, is using no-code software from Fuzzy Logic for a robotic automation application. Aeronautics is a demanding sector that requires extremely rigorous and standardized industrial processes. For example, machined engine parts must be rendered particle-free before assembly, and are therefore subjected to meticulous cleaning at very high pressure. These noisy and arduous processes are currently performed manually. Operators exposed to high pressure water jets, up to 60 bars, pollution and noise are at high risk of MSD. Aeronautical manufacturers and subcontractors are having difficulty recruiting candidates for…
For anyone interested in industrial innovation, there's a lot in the news right now about uses of autonomous mobile robots, or AMRs, in manufacturing and supply chain processes. Companies are figuring out many ways to improve or scale operations with these types of systems. Thanks to improving perception, artificial intelligence, and fleet management tools, AMRs are finding new uses on factory floors, in distribution centers, and elsewhere. Let's look at some of the ways in which businesses are modernizing their operations with the latest mobile robots. 1. Mobile robots can make work more ergonomic Manufacturers often need to plan how…
Despite the Dallas metropolitan area adding more than 10,000 manufacturing jobs over the past 10 months, the region still has more job vacancies than applicants, noted Olympus Controls. In Texas, there are currently 0.8 unemployed people per job opening, a gap that is especially pronounced in manufacturing, it said. “Historically low labor-participation rates in our area means manufacturers are often unable to staff their shifts,” said Nick Armenta, regional manager of Olympus Controls, in a release. Tualatin, Ore.-based Olympus Controls is an engineering services company specializing in the integration of motion control, machine vision, and robotics. The company said its…
