Filter by Process Zone:
Real-Time Human-to-Machine Collaboration
SQUEAKS is a mobile-first IoT industrial messaging app from IGear that facilitates quicker, better decision-making and closed-loop collaboration with machines as part of the conversation.
Advanced Analytics and Deep Learning in Condition-Based Maintenance
The FIELD system from FANUC provides intelligent condition-based maintenance to help optimize the performance and life of CNCs, robots, peripheral devices and sensors used in automation systems.
Compact Robot for Arc Welding and Machine Tending
The IRB 1660ID from ABB Robotics features a stronger, more rigid upper arm for heavier weld torches and improved wire feeding control near the arc to guarantee high volume production.
Maximize Gas Cylinder Economy by Changing Switching Ranges in the Field
The 547 Series High Pressure Switchover from CONCOA can fully deplete gas cylinders while accommodating applications that require continuous delivery of gas with varying high and low outlet pressures.
Highly Automated Custom Welded Tubing
OMCO uses an automated 200 ft long mill to efficiently manufacture highly processed, standard-shaped tubes or custom profiles to fit applications needing non-standard welded tubes.
Industry 4.0 Shop Floor Management Software
Freedom 4.0 software from 5ME provides real-time monitoring and analysis, machine diagnostics, and comprehensive manufacturing metrics used to finely tune asset utilization, performance, quality and OEE, machine health and process health.
Highly Efficient Robotic Arc Welding
Hollow Wrist robots from KUKA use a single smart control system to efficiently manage the robot, motion, sequence, process and safety control for maximum energy efficiency at minimum cost.
Virtual Reality Unites Manufacturing Teams
Genesis uses 3DG technology from Mechdyne to make technical recommendations, applications direction and programming requirements during virtual reviews with customers before they build a robotic automation system.
Machines Getting Smarter
The integration of next generation machine control technology, robots and automation are making the shop floor in the Smart Factory more productive than ever before.
Augmented Reality Delivers Real-Time Welding Feedback During Training
Ideal for training on common joint types, including pipe, in all positions, AugmentedArc from Miller Electric simulates multi-process MIG, TIG, flux-cored and stick welding by blending real-world applications with computer-generated images.
Simulate Welding of Larger and More Complex Components
Ideal for aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, plant engineering and machine construction, Simufact Welding 6 from MSC Software quickly simulates longer welding seams and multiple welding points for arc welding, spot welding, brazing and stress relief, electron beam welding and laser beam welding.
Advanced Robotic Welding Solutions
The ClassMate Robotic Trainer from Lincoln Electric provides complete robotic welding training, and H-Frame Weld Cell and Positioners from Easom can integrate up to four robots into a weld cell.
