Market trends and business perspectives
Robots have been used in automotive assembly lines for over 50 years. And now, automakers are using robotics in even more processes.
Why robots? They are efficient and dependable in production lines. They also bring supply chain automation to the automotive industry and make it one of the largest users of robots. [Read more…] about Robot Applications in Auto Manufacturing
Universal Robots, the world’s largest collaborative robots manufacturer, has developed an interface for the engineering portal of Siemens, one of the world’s largest industrial technology companies.
The companies say that integrating Universal Robots’ collaborative robots into complex machines and manufacturing environments will soon be a process machine builders and systems integrators can “seamlessly handle” through the Siemens Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) portal.
The UR collaborative robots will become part of the Simatic Robot Library within Siemens’ TIA environment through an interpreter interface planned to be completed within the fourth quarter of 2021. [Read more…] about Universal Robots develops interface for Siemens engineering portal
Ola, India’s largest mobility platform and one of the world’s largest ride-hailing companies, has selected ABB as one of its key partners for robotics and automation solutions for its mega-factory in India that will roll out the Ola electric scooter.
Ola’s scooter mega-factory, billed to be the world’s largest scooter manufacturing plant, is expected to be ready and operational in the coming months.
The facility is also expected to be the country’s most automated, with about 5,000 robots and automated guided vehicles in use once the factory is fully operational to its full capacity.

Trees are an important part of our lives; they add aesthetic value to the surrounding environment, improve air and water quality, reduce soil erosion, and provide shade during the scorching summer months.
Likewise, power lines serve the machinery and equipment we interact with every day, adding luxury and efficacy to our lives.
While these two provide amazing benefits, when trees and power lines are in close proximity to roads, they become a potential hazard to motorists and can cause extreme vehicle damages and bodily injuries if they fall over or motorists accidentally run into them.
Read on to find out how to stay safe while driving on roads with trees and power lines. [Read more…] about Trees and power lines
Comau Robotics says it is “proud” to have participated in the production of the New 500, the latest version of the Fiat 500, first unveiled in 1957 and today one of the most popular cars ever to have been released.
Comau says it has provided its parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the Fiat brand with advanced automation solutions and its know-how in the development of “innovative industrial processes” to produce FCA’s first fully electric vehicle, a “Made in Turin” product.
The path started symbolically in July 2019 with the installation of the first Comau robot, which initiated the production line of the new full-electric model inside FCA’s historic Mirafiori plant. [Read more…] about Comau robots ‘proud’ to have built new Fiat 500
Technology-wise, it is perhaps the best time to create a startup company. You can now easily set up a virtual system, and since it can be entirely based online, this eliminates the need for a physical office. You don’t even need to host the system, as this can be done for you by a VoIP service provider!
But where do you start? This article will provide people with a brief explanation for how to set up an effective VoIP system for their startup business, that can be run entirely from home in the UK, the US, or from anywhere else in the world!

Rozum Robotics has developed a collaborative robotic system for coffee-making and serving, calling it Rozum Café. (See video below.)
The labor shortage is a common challenge in manufacturing. Human-robot collaboration is a promising solution to this problem.
Production lines, where a human and a robot can work shoulder by shoulder, unite robotic efficiency and human creativity. [Read more…] about Rozum Café develops collaborative robotic system for coffee-making and serving
RIOS, a developer of dexterous AI-powered robots for automating assembly lines, has come out of stealth mode and raised $5 million in venture funding.
RIOS, which spun out of Stanford University and was founded by former Xerox PARC engineers, helps customers automate their factories, warehouses, and supply chain operations by installing what it describes as a “new class of highly-dexterous robots” that handle hard-to-automate tasks in unstructured environments.
RIOS not only automates individual lines, but also builds “lights out” factories by partnering with its network of systems integrators. [Read more…] about RIOS raises $5 million to launch robots with ‘human-level dexterity’
Industrial automation specialist Kuka is to supply approximately 50 robots for the production lines of an e-mobility provider.
Kuka system partner SAR Elektronic is building five fully-automated production and inspection lines for a leading German automotive supplier.
The lines will be equipped with the 50 Kuka robots for “fully-automated handling, plasma cleaning and bonding processes, and an integrated functional inspection”, says the company. [Read more…] about Kuka to supply 50 robots for production lines for e-mobility provider
Kuka Systems has won three new orders for assembly line conversions.
The automation specialist says that converting existing assembly lines is “time-critical and requires significant experience in systems engineering”.
Within the scope of two new orders, Kuka says it is leveraging its “comprehensive expertise to provide support in the quick and efficient conversion of plants”. [Read more…] about Kuka gains three new orders for assembly line conversions
