Collaborative robots, also called co-bots for short, have uses in a vast array of different industries. In the automotive sector, for example, they're used for everything from welding, assembly, painting and coating and more. But regardless of the application, their overall value is clear - they help organizations automate menial, time-consuming and potentially dangerous tasks so...

When people discuss industrial automation who may be on the outside of the manufacturing industry looking inward, they usually think about legions of robots on factory floors that are designed to replace human jobs. Thankfully, the reality of the situation is far from this - in fact, it may literally be the opposite.  Industrial automation...

Also commonly referred to as the IIoT for short, the Industrial Internet of Things involves a carefully interconnected network of countless sensors that are constantly creating and sharing information with one another. It includes not only ideas like robotics process automation (RPA) but also software-based production processes as well. Obviously, this is a major benefit...

If you've tried to order something off the Internet recently only to be greeted with a several week or even month-long delivery estimate window, you've experienced first-hand the major issues caused by the current global supply chain crisis.  Spawned in large part from the still-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the supply chain has been struggling since March...

AGVs, otherwise known as autonomous guided vehicles, are industrial robots that can move across a particular environment like a factory floor – all without the need of a human operator or driver. Instead, their movement is dictated by a combination of onboard software and sensors that are constantly streaming real-time information to the AGV’s guidance...

Also commonly referred to as the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” the concept behind Industry 4.0 is ultimately a straightforward one. It refers to the ongoing digital transformation in the worlds of manufacturing and production that utilize concepts like the Internet of Things, among others, to generate more value up and down the supply chain than ever...

According to one recent study, the worldwide market for robotics is expected to grow at an incredible compound annual growth rate of 26% for the foreseeable future – bringing it to a value of roughly $210 billion by as soon as 2025. A big part of how the industry has been able to get to...

Even as recently as a decade ago, the idea that robots would one day be hard at work on factory floors still seemed like something out of a far-off future. Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) machine learning, artificial intelligence and other interconnected disciplines, however, that future is very much here – much to...
