Through the use of automation and robotics assembly processes you can not only increase productivity but decrease worker fatigue. Let a cobot or other automated systems complete your repetitive processes, freeing up your workforce for more challenging and rewarding tasks.
Pick-to-Light (PTL) is a technology used in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities to improve order picking accuracy and efficiency. It involves the use of light displays, typically mounted on shelving or storage bins, to guide workers to the exact location of items to be picked for an order.
Industry 4.0—also called the Fourth Industrial Revolution or 4IR—is the next phase in the digitization of the manufacturing sector, driven by disruptive trends including the rise of data and connectivity, analytics, human-machine interaction, and improvements in robotics. Industry 4.0 allows for smart manufacturing and the creation of intelligent factories. It aims to enhance productivity, efficiency, and flexibility while enabling more intelligent decision-making and customisation in manufacturing and supply chain operations.
Work instructions describe the correct way to perform a certain task or activity within a company wide database or MES system. Each task is part of a larger process, so every step must be followed accordingly in order for the task to be performed properly, otherwise it will affect other aspects of the business. These instructions are linked up to other parts of the company and communicate with each other digitally.
Smart tool arms, also known as smart positioning arms, are designed to improve productivity and safety in a workstation. They can help reduce fatigue and prevent injury by holding the tool in the correct position, which allows operators to work more efficiently. Smart tool arms can also balance the tool and eliminate torque reaction, and sequence fasteners in the order specified by the engineer.
