June 27, 2019 by Anna

Comau Robotics has unveiled a new solution to create digital factories. The company calls it ‘in.Grid’ and describes it as an industrial internet of things platform.

In the digital factory everything is connected: the machines, the robots, and the individual production units that communicate with each other and with the operators.

Elements transfer data in real time to a central system capable of interpreting and analysing them, thereby making the whole process workflow more efficient.

Kuka robot becomes a part of Dutch cultural history

June 27, 2019 by Anna

An art group, ‘robotlab’, has installed a Kuka robot in the city of Dordrecht to transcribe the Bible. The art project is part of the festivities for the 400th anniversary of the Synod of Dordrecht – a seminal event in the history of Dutch Protestantism.

The art group, in existence since 2000, examines the relationship between humans and robots. Since the group’s inception, Matthias Gommel, Martina Haitz and Jan Zappe have organised more than 100 exhibitions.

The current ‘bios [bible]’ project is using a robot from the Kuka’s KR CYBERTECH series to independently transcribe the Bible in Dutch.
