…integration mechanisms such as application programming interfaces (APIs) to your enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, points out Ryan. “With the new Web-based tools, there is more access to APIs that will allow you to sync up with key suppliers on work orders, spare parts, work order procedures and updated manuals,” Ryan says. Toward predictive It used to be that CMMS,…

…mostly interacted with them for programming and maintenance. As technology progressed, robots were given the ability to move around the workplace as automated guided vehicles (AGVs). For safety and predictability, AGVs are programmed to move only along predetermined paths within a facility and are equipped with sensors that detect humans or objects in their paths to direct the AGVs to…

…chain and reference code for programming the IMU. It consists of basic download and debug to reference implementations of loosely-coupled GPS/INS. Third is a full Developer Site and tools with charting, graphing and algorithm simulation. “OpenIMU enables advanced, easy-to-deploy localization and navigation algorithm solutions for a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods. OpenIMU's combination of open-source software…

…those modules. So ‘integration’ isn’t programming the overall logic because each segment itself knows how many products went across it, so you can measure efficiency and overall equipment effectiveness. Payback ends up being half a year.” This also avoids the “all-or-nothing” trappings of a more sophisticated system redesign. “You eat an elephant a bite at a time,” Jensen says. “Start…

…that build time, installation, robot programming, safety hardware requirements, and programming of all safety functional devices would be too costly and take far too long. “A traditional cell would not justify our internal rate of return and would consume most of our facilities’ technical resources,” said Brian Pelke, president of Kay Manufacturing. “It was a non-starter.” Instead, the company looked…

…assembly parts without changes in programming or robotic components, according to Deloitte. As autonomous robot hardware and software continues to improve over the next 10 years, Deloitte says robots could provide a competitive advantage for companies. “Through improvements in sensors, dexterity, artificial intelligence, and trainability, they are becoming faster and more sophisticated, and they now include safety provisions that allow…

…they offer sophisticated and intuitive programming that enables them to be easily deployed and redeployed. Easy-to-integrate end-of-arm tooling, such as grippers and sensors, become vital elements in adapting these powerful automation tools for a wide range of applications.” In 2015, Iversen and the Danish Growth Fund sold the Danish cobot company Universal Robots to U.S.-based Teradyne for $285 million. With…

…of Things relies on application programming interfaces (APIs), which tie together the connected “things.” The APIs essentially serve as the messengers between applications and connected objects. The IoT also relies on the cloud to provide the integration and computing power to fulfill the promise of a connected world. One of the most significant benefits of the Industrial Internet is the…

…of this possible. Traditional robot programming is very time consuming. It’s also very limited in its capabilities. You program a specific action or series of actions. But the robot is limited to those activities or range of motions. The robot can’t go beyond and perform new tasks without new programming. We’re trying to go beyond this by using completely different…
