What is a SCADA System? A SCADA Operating System refers to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems, which provide monitoring, control, and data analytical capabilities to field devices from a remote site. SCADA operating systems, at its core, enable the critical efficiency of industrial operations through the collection and processing of real-time data. A centralized […]

A Look at the Current Challenges of Robot Vision ‘Robotics’ and ‘Machine Vision’ are both time-honored research fields. Robotic courses are generally offered by departments such as mechanical engineering, automation, and system control engineering, while machine vision courses are offered by information engineering and electrical engineering departments.

When you think of a robot in a manufacturing plant, you may visualize collaborative robot applications, such as a sizeable mechanical arm assembling car parts or a device that fills hundreds of food packages every few minutes. These are called industrial robots, which are fully automated to do specialized tasks like pumping, packing, labeling, and […]

Without robotic vision, robots are blind machines that move according to their programming. They rigidly follow the code that dictates their functions, making them ideal for repetitive tasks that could be physically draining and challenging to people. Now that we are at the advent of Industry 4.0, robots are also evolving. It will allow them […]

Cobots Have Come a Long Way The manufacturing industry has been utilizing collaborative robots, or cobots, for more than a decade since the inception of this form of robotic technology. Cobots had begun as laboratory experiments, tested out by global leaders and innovators in the manufacturing industry, and are now implemented in a wide range […]

The Prevalence of AI When we talk about artificial intelligence, or AI, we tend to think about advanced and cutting-edge systems just like in the movies – and while we’re not wrong – AI is available in more objects and appliances than we realize. To summarize, there are four types of AI: Reactive machines Limited […]

As a manufacturing business owner, the thought of automation must have surely crossed your mind more times than ever, especially in light of the pandemic. That being said, the question remains, “Why should you automate your manufacturing assembly line?” Since an automated assembly line is composed of several workstations connected through a transfer and electric […]

It cannot be denied how the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unprecedented waves of change in the past couple of years, and it continues to impact industries all over the world, causing shifts in many manufacturing operations. Among these changes is the move to a work from home setup, primarily due to social distancing protocols […]

Since the inception of cobots in many business sectors and a wide range of industry processes, the logistics and warehousing industry has also seen a rise in productivity and efficiency, thus enabling various service providers the capability to meet the increase in demand. Cobot technology continues to develop, and with the emergence of Industry 4.0, […]

Collaborative robots or “cobots” are a relatively new innovation—it’s only been a little over a decade since the installation of the world’s first cobot back in 2008. That being said, further innovation and development picked up at a rather quick pace, especially with the arrival of a wide range of cobots serving various industries. Given […]
