Artificial intelligence is increasingly finding its way into the world of work and advancing automation technology. The products, systems, machines and plants for automation are networked with each other up to completely autonomous machines as part of the larger whole smart manufacturing. Our coverage shows the components, systems and applications of automation technology for process and factory automation from the sensor to grab, Communication technology, control and regulation technology, IT up to and including robots.
Special industries like Automotive industry, Renewable energies, Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, food technology, Microsystems Technology, Mobile Machinery require specially designed developments and knowledge. Here we introduce you to the latest innovations. You will also find news from and for the here Applied research.
The automation technology also forms Electrical Engineering, Drive Technology and other engineering scientific disciplines form the basis of such buzzword-rich developments as Industry 4.0, digital transformation or smart factory, which is particularly important in... Industrial machinery and equipment change our industrial production and manufacturing forever at a rapid pace. The following innovations are part of the bigger picture:
Igus presents the Service robot Rebel. Just one year after the first presentation of the modular gearbox for cobots, igus is already recording 20 automation projects per week. In doing so, igus relies entirely on its Motion Plastics expertise: the use of plastic makes the robot, weighing 8,2 kg, the lightest service robot with cobot function in its class. All mechanical components in the Rebel are developed and manufactured by igus.
Artiminds Robotics supports this Roboticindustry with innovative software solutionswho program, operate and integrate the robot industrial robots simplify. The pioneer for sensor-based robot applications supports the implementation of advanced projects such as force control and image processing and offers comprehensive advice - from planning to optimization. Read what's new at Artiminds:
On the way to Industry 4.0 communication technology and the components designed for it play a key role. There are a variety of networks that are incompatible with each other. To bring them to a common denominator, so that data exchange takes place, you need Gateways. They connect the networks in all layers (OSI model) and translate the communication protocols. In this article we present Gateway innovations for your factory of the future.
Which one Lawn Mower is the right one for your garden? Save time and effort with the best models for different lawn sizes. This article will guide you through tests and criteria to find the ideal automatic lawn mower. At the same time we provide you with the latest models before:
The Artificial intelligence (AI) will change our lives in ways we never thought possible. It seems like there are new breakthroughs and developments in AI technology almost every day. From data analysis to natural language processing, systems have evolved a lot. Recently, however, the AI has a whole new level reached. Which it is, where the technology could still lead in the next few years and how AI in different industries is already being used, find out here.
If you try the traditional approach, processes subject to tolerance This is often a big challenge to automate. With the smart one robot software of Artiminds Robotics Reliable solutions can be created very easily. Various implemented examples illustrate the wide range of applications.
If it is about Industrial robots or Cobots acts: Without suitable Software and an interactive one Programming robots nothing or nothing works easily. With new trends such as cloud-based programs or the use of artificial intelligence robot programming is becoming easier and more efficient. Read how this can be done and what software is already available for this.
