ABB robots are supporting Nestlé to improve the productivity of pallet loading in its chocolate manufacturing facilities in Brazil by 53 percent, using a new ABB palletizing robot solution.
Founded in 1989, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) is probably best known for its annual Robotics Competition, where competition teams design, program and build a robot starting with a standard kit of parts and common set of rules to play on a themed course.
In this blog post, which is the third in Festo’s series on functional safety, we’re exploring the ways test pulses can affect solenoid valves. It is important to note that this topic pertains to an individually wired solenoid and does not apply to valve terminals utilizing bus communication, which have a varying number of solenoids that can be active at varying moments.

In the popular imagination, robots are large, dumb machines for doing dull, muscular, repetitive tasks with precision and accuracy. That’s only part of today’s robotics world. Robots now come in many sizes and configurations, with two to seven axes.
There are plenty of burning questions in the manufacturing industry. “How do we increase flexibility?” “How can we ensure consistent quality and accuracy throughout?” “What’s the best way to minimize the impact of recalls?” And the the big one: “What will the factory of the future look like?”
Common in most industrial settings, electric motors are broadly grouped as those driven by alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). The two types of motors, each suited for different applications, have advantages and disadvantages.
Combining expertise and innovation, WEG´s main goal is to continually provide top quality products and efficient solutions for the customers. That is why WEG stands out as an ideal partner for construction companies.
The Industrial Digital Twin Association (IDTA) officially kicked off its activities at the beginning of March. With 23 founding members, including Endress+Hauser, the group’s goal is to optimally develop the digital twin as a market-ready, manufacturer-independent core technology for Industry 4.0.
Sensing technology has a major presence in manufacturing machinery. It provides the foundation for maintaining consistent quality and detecting any lapses in machine performance. If subtle changes in the physical properties of a machine can cause it to fail, then the sensors responsible for detecting those changes can save manufacturers lengthy downtime and repair costs.
New woodlands are being created in the UK with the help of Mid Wales-based Invertek Drives through the Forest Carbon project to offset its carbon footprint.
In both the Process and Discrete industries, unplanned downtime is a serious issue for many companies and not limited to company size or Industry. Downtime can lead to millions of dollars in lost revenue, wasted product and stand still of production lines. Many companies use a reactive approach rather than a proactive solution to dealing with the unscheduled downtime.
In a new whitepaper published recently, ABB reveals potential for significant energy efficiency improvements in industry and infrastructure enabled by the latest and most high-efficiency motors and variable speed drives.
