…to manual push carts, including tuggers, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) and AMRs. While he didn’t know what was the right technology, Greenberg knew that the new facility needed automation in order to scale, and it needed to be flexible. “We wanted the flexibility of a system that could pick up and drop off a heavy cart without an operator having to be involved,” Greenberg says. And, as noted earlier, he was willing to implement a leading-edge technology, but not a bleeding edge solution. The design study lasted between 6 and 9 months. The task was to present multiple, alternative designs.…

…any system promising greater efficiency, from automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to semi-autonomous and self-driving lift trucks. The industrial robotics market was worth abut $41.7 billion just two years ago, according to Zion Market Research. It could grow to about $81.4 billion—about $250 per person in the U.S.—by 2028 and grow almost 12% year over the next few years, predicted the research firm. Similarly, SPER Market Research forecast that the global market for robot fleet management software will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.02% between 2023 and 2032. Fleet management tools tackle complexity…

…can also be mounted on an automated guided vehicle (AGV), he said. In addition, igus has designed its own gearing and kinematics for other types of robots. The Windows-based AnyApp software uses visual programming to make robots easier to use. “Users can download our free software to test before they invest,” Mühlens said. “It communicates with the cameras and gripper for data such as the tool center point. They can then select an axis and drag and drop onscreen.” ReBeL can be mounted on a mobile robot. Credit: Eugene Demaitre RBTX bundles, free consulting to ease adoption Through igus' expanding…

…adding seats, doors and other parts. The technology is designed to eliminate problems with vibration of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or conveyors and variations in the speed of the production line. To compensate for any unexpected movements or vibrations, once the car body reaches a predefined position, the Compliant Vision Guidance (CVG) camera on the robot arm scans it for consistent reference points such as door edges, taking 30 to 40 images per second to determine whether the attachment point is where it should be and whether any adjustments are necessary.
