While reshoring offers strategic benefits like shorter supply chains, improved IP protection, and reduced geopolitical risk, higher domestic labor costs and skills shortages remain major barriers. Automation, particularly advanced machine tending and
Autonomous Process Control creates closed-loop autonomy between your machines making products, your inspection & test systems reviewing their work, and your robots. APC makes real-time robotic production processing adjustments based
Wanted to explain something important that most people don’t understand or fully consider when implementing advanced robotic machine tending for production in regulated industries; the topic is Line Clearance and how it relates to Production Changeovers when
There are certain topics in advanced robotic machine tending that are critical to understand in order to achieve “lights out” manufacturing. In today’s post, I want to briefly cover one of the most critical for successful production robotic
The latest episode explains how “lights-out” manufacturing is highly autonomous production where robots and automated machinery perform work without human intervention. The approach utilizes robotic systems in combination with factory equipment and robotic
Sadly, most robot projects fail because they rely on custom, one-off software technology – especially in industries like medical devices, aerospace, and defense, where installations often become overly complex science projects.
