When evaluating which process is suitable for which process to use in the production environment, it is necessary to carefully consider the problem you want to solve and consider all the costs that the robot can save: reduce waste, improve power, improve yield, improve safety or reduce labor costs. These cost savings can be used as the basis for the return on investment, which is also an important factor in determining whether the robot is suitable for specific use.
According to the International Association of Robotics, robot sales have increased by more than 45% in the past five years. More and more companies in all walks of life are using robotic solutions to improve production capabilities, reduce costs, and improve worker safety. Today's industrial robots are smarter, faster, more habitual, and collaborative. With advanced vision and sensing technology, robots can perform disorganized tasks that were simply not possible in the past. With all these new technologies, it's now a prime time to consider investing in industrial robots.
When evaluating which process is suitable for which process to use in the production environment, it is necessary to carefully consider the problem you want to solve and consider all the costs that the robot can save: reduce waste, improve power, improve yield, improve safety or reduce labor costs. These cost savings can be used as the basis for the return on investment, which is also an important factor in determining whether the robot is suitable for specific use.
When evaluating the potential value of robots in the production floor, the following four steps can be considered: In the past, robots were separated by fences to perform repetitive tasks. Today, robots can work side-by-side with human workers in a collaborative environment. The robot has spatial awareness, which ensures the personal safety of workers, creating an open and sensitive work cell.
Intelligent: The 3D vision system can greatly improve the talent of robots. By combining this sensing talent with the agility of the robot, the robot is able to perform the messy tasks associated with part handling. The following is a list of the use of vision robots to enhance the handling of parts.
Part/package inspection: A visually capable robotic platform can find existing or missing features and measure them under a specified package. The robot randomly picks up a placed part, and then puts it under the vision system to detect whether it is a qualified product, so as to complete the automation of quality control.
Part identification: When used in a hybrid way, the robot identifies, tracks, and sorts items according to preset specifications.
Part orientation/orientation: Using a 2D or 3D vision system, the robot can identify, pick up and process parts for drilling, grinding and painting purposes.
In addition to vision, the robot cell can also include tactile responses, force manipulation and infrared sensing.
Risk: Identify the risks to workers posed by the risky environment in the area where the robot is used. For example, robots are more resistant to heat and accustomed to chemical environments than human workers. A well-planned job shop minimizes risk and improves worker safety.
Overall: Finally, we should consider all the fields of robot automation in the production workshop. Some areas may still be cluttered and unrealistic, but with visuals and endurors, many are possible.
Once you've chosen your choice and budget, it's time to select the robot and plan the cell. At this time, it is better to work with system integrators who have product knowledge and previous project experience. The integrator will help you select the bot and generally plan and supply the terminators needed to carry out the mission. Robot integrators will provide 3D simulations and time sessions with SolidWorks models to demonstrate how robots can work in a job room. In doing so, the process can be adjusted as early as possible, ensuring that the payload, speed and reachable scale of the robot are just right, saving time and money to complete.
