Q-Span Workstation Kit becomes first UR+ Application Kit for quality inspection to be certified by Universal Robots

by Leave a Comment

New Scale Robotics has launched its Q-Span Workstation Kit, the first application kit for quality inspection to be certified by Universal Robots and featured on the UR+ platform. (See video below.)

The Q-Span Workstation Kit allows quality teams to automate measurement inspection of small parts. Deployed on a UR3e collaborative robot (cobot), the Q-Span Workstation Kit increases measurement consistency and helps quality teams to achieve gage R&R targets.

David Henderson, CEO of New Scale Robotics, says: “New Scale Robotics is pleased to be in the vanguard of Universal Robots’ new UR+ application kits for quality inspection processes.

4 Ways Robotics and AI Are Transforming Design and Creatives

by Leave a Comment

While AI and robotics have made waves in several industries, it would seem inconceivable to the uninitiated for robots and intelligent machines to make a mark in the creatives sector. How could systems be taught creativity?

In fact, when researchers from the Oxford Martin School ranked 702 occupations according to their susceptibility to computerization, jobs that center around creativity were least in danger.

Designers, curators, artists, choreographers, dancers, musicians, singers, writers, and authors were among those less likely to be replaced by robots. [Read more…] about 4 Ways Robotics and AI Are Transforming Design and Creatives

How AI Technologies Accelerate Progress in Medical Diagnosis

Die Casting 101: Learn More About its Process and Advantages

by Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered how intricate automobile parts like starter motor brackets, flywheel, solenoid valves, and the likes are produced?

Or, perhaps, the massive machine and equipment parts?

How about those Hot Wheels toy car collections that kids love? The answer: die casting.

Die casting is an industrial manufacturing process that uses tool dies, which produce metal parts that are too geometrically complex to be produced by any other means.

This process makes use of molten alloy or metal injected into a die at high pressure, which is exactly what Chicago White Metal Castings does. [Read more…] about Die Casting 101: Learn More About its Process and Advantages

How to Test Major Changes in Your Supply Chain Process

by Leave a Comment

Did you know that the return of your supply chain process depends on how your software technology works as well as the efficiency of the people involved in the entire process?

However, changes keep taking place, and you might feel clueless as to where your initiative is going.

Supply chain testing is done in order to know and mark the various aspects where the supply chain is the weakest. [Read more…] about How to Test Major Changes in Your Supply Chain Process

How Additive Manufacturing Software is Changing the Game

by Leave a Comment

Additive manufacturing is a process that creates physical objects from digital designs.

An engineer creates digital design through computer software, which is then sliced into layers and sent into an additive manufacturing machine.

The machine then builds the same 3-D design as that of the digital one. [Read more…] about How Additive Manufacturing Software is Changing the Game

Pick-by-Vision by Picavi Predicted as #1 MODEX 2020 Superstar

by Leave a Comment

By Carsten Funke, Chief Sales Officer for Picavi

And the winner for the most important logistics solution at MODEX 2020 in Atlanta, GA, March 9-12 is the hands down favorite: Picavi Cockpit (at Booth 5485).

Picavi Cockpit

The Picavi Cockpit tool generates smart data for managing, maintaining, and customizing the screen of the Pick-by-Vision glasses: analytics, mobile device management (MDM), and configurator. Users benefit from enormous time and cost savings, greater flexibility and transparency, as well as improved process quality.

Unlike anything else at MODEX, this innovation unleashes the full potential of order picking supported by assisted reality (AR). With the smart data function analytics, sensors on the glasses collect process parameters that can be evaluated using the Picavi Cockpit.
