The Impact of Robotics on Automotive Manufacturing

by

The automotive manufacturing industry is one of the largest industries in the US, employing about 9 million people with $1.3 million in annual revenue. The bustling industry like automotive requires the use of robotic technology to reach higher productivity and efficiency.

This technology has impacted automotive plants globally and is one of the most extensive users of robots. Automotive manufacturing plants utilize robots for different purposes like material handling, painting, assembly handling and welding.

Some robots also work outside the car plant and perform tasks, including moving materials, inspecting parts, and spraying paint onto cars. [Read more…] about The Impact of Robotics on Automotive Manufacturing

Robot-based automation: 3 tips for a time and cost-efficient implementation

by

Why no-code and low-code tools have become indispensable in robotics

Using robots is almost always worthwhile for companies. They can reduce labor costs, relieve employees, and make production more flexible – because the required batch sizes are becoming smaller and production processes more individual.

In addition, a robot or cobot offers another major advantage: it can work without breaks and fatigue, thereby increasing product quality and reducing scrap.

With modern robot systems, almost all processes can now be automated. Usually, robots take over simple, dirty, monotonous, physically demanding, or even dangerous tasks.

However, with the right hardware and, above all, software, very complex or particularly demanding tasks, so-called “Advanced Robotics” applications, can also be solved. Examples of this include the assembly of flexible and bendable components such as cables, wires, or hoses or force-controlled surface processing.

Chinese researchers develop robotic hearing test system

by

The China Telecommunication Technology Labs (CTTL) Terminal labs at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) successfully conducted specific absorption rate and hearing aid compatibility testing for 5G new radio mobile devices.

The lab upgraded their DASY8 high-precision electromagnetic near-field scanning platform from SPEAG, the leading provider of dosimetric test systems, with the R&S CMX500 OBT 5G one-box signaling tester from Rohde & Schwarz.

SPEAG and Rohde & Schwarz have been long-term partners with CAICT and have supported and equipped CTTL with testing solutions. [Read more…] about Chinese researchers develop robotic hearing test system

SeqSense shows how it built autonomous security robots on AWS

Japanese robotics startup SeqSense has built autonomous security robots using Amazon Web Services and Amazon’s platform for robotics

According to Japan’s national institute of population and social security research, the working population in Japan is expected to decrease by 30 percent in the next 30 years. A rapidly aging population in Japan causes a shortage of labor in the security space.

SeqSense, a robotics startup company in Japan, aims to solve this challenge by providing autonomous security robot service. They developed an intelligent security robot SQ-2. that patrols inside buildings.

It navigates by itself using pre-created map of a floor, patrol multiple floors by communicating with elevators. Their robot has been deployed in more than 30 office buildings, shopping malls, and airports in Japan. [Read more…] about SeqSense shows how it built autonomous security robots on AWS

Non-industrial robots market expected to grow 19 percent a year

by

The market for non-industrial robots is expected to reach $83.4 billion in 2023 and $465.5 billion by the end of 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 18.8 percent, according to a report by Fact.MR.

Robotics is gradually changing how routine tasks are carried out; their adoption simplifies work, saves time, and increases overall productivity.

Every industry, including the commercial and domestic sectors, uses robots for all jobs, simple or complex. Due to the growing demand from end-use sectors like healthcare, the military, research and development, and other industries, non-industrial robots are expected to experience rapid growth.

How Robotics Can Help Manufacturers Solve Labor Shortages

by

Manufacturing is critical to the United States and the Midwest. It’s responsible for creating jobs, supporting businesses, and generating economic growth. Manufacturing is also a key driver of innovation, helping to create new products and technologies that can improve our lives.

Nationwide, manufacturing was the fourth-largest employment sector in 2021, with more than 12 million employees. In the Midwest, it’s the largest employment sector. But like many other industries, manufacturers are facing a major challenge – a shortage of skilled workers.

Even if every skilled worker in the country was employed in manufacturing, Forbes reports there would still be 35 percent more job openings than workers capable of filling them. By 2030, Deloitte predicts the industry will be short by more than 2 million workers. [Read more…] about How Robotics Can Help Manufacturers Solve Labor Shortages

Labor shortages set to propel shipments of outdoor mobile robots to 350,000 by 2030
