October 27 - New Applications for Industrial Robotics
Robotics Solutions for Materials Handling Applications
Broadly defined, “materials handling” is the movement, selection and packing of bulk materials, parts and goods, usually in an industrial setting. Many types of technology, including robotics, have been employed to automate materials handling processes to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve competitiveness. The latest generation of robotics systems, which incorporate vision, mobility, autonomous navigation, complex manipulation and motion control, as well as greater levels of intelligence, greatly improve materials handling productivity and quality levels, as well as enable whole new classes of materials handling applications. Sessions in the Robotics Solutions for Materials Handling track focus on the very latest advances in robotic technology for a variety of material handling applications including:
• Picking, Placing and Order Fulfillment
• Palletizing and Depalletizing
• Packing, Labeling and Shipping
• Material Transfer
• Loading and Unloading/ Dispensing
• Inspection and Sorting
• Material Removal
• Assembly, Warehouse and Distribution Automation
Robotic Manufacturing Solutions for Small-to-Medium Businesses
In the past, most industrial robots were designed for capital-intensive, large-volume manufacturing in the automotive, electronics and semiconductor industries. These systems, which are costly, complex and inflexible, were unsuitable for smaller manufacturers, who require low cost systems that are quick to install, simple to operate and can be quickly reconfigured to support small production volumes. Suppliers of industrial robotics solutions have expanded their product offering, as well as developed creative financing and leasing options, to support the needs of small-to-medium manufacturers (SMM), allowing them to improve productivity, cut costs and increase the quality of their products. Sessions in Robotic Solutions for Small-to-Medium Manufacturers track focus on the business issues and technical solutions supporting manufacturing in small-to-medium business using advanced robotics technologies including:
• Small Volume Manufacturing
• Application Specific Systems
• Non-Traditional Manufacturing and Novel Application Areas
• Flexible Automation
• Bench-top Systems
• Rapid Deployment and Simplified Programming
• Selling Robotics to Management
• Small Assembly Systems
• Financing and Leasing Options
• Case Studies in Discrete Manufacturing
