Industrial automation is the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and machineries in an industry to replace a human being. It is the second step beyond mechanization in the scope of industrialization.

In today’s factories and shop floors, industrial automation is everywhere and it is difficult to imagine a production line without automation. Industrial automation uses control systems and equipment, such as computer software and robots, to perform tasks that were historically done manually. These systems operate industrial equipment automatically, significantly reducing the level of operator involvement and oversight required.

A robot is used to perform production methods more precisely and also work in the places where human workers are restricted to work. Robots can complete given tasks precisely and intelligently within the given time limit and also focus on safety, flexibility, versatility and collaboratively. Some of the applications are palletizing, welding, packaging and pick and place.

Customer challenges:

Accident and injuries might happen when there is human error or mistake made in the working place. Any accident or injuries happen in a production line may affect the productivity and incur losses which included high penalties, charges and compensations. These incurred a loss to an organisation.

Consistency is significant in a production line which it may directly affect the productivity. Human always lose their consistency when being disturbed or interrupted by internal or external factors and this may cause a low productivity on the production line which directly impact to the business.

The accuracy and precision are the most important things especially in welding and painting job. It required skilful expert and specialist which incurred a high labour cost as the skilful expert is getting lesser and lesser nowadays. Company may also find difficult when a skilful worker is retired or leaving the company.

XtructureD Solution: Consistent & Precise Robotics System Technology

KUKA Robotics have a different range of payloads from 6Kg to 1300Kg, maximum of reach up to 4000mm and from 5 to 7 axes which suitable to the different industries such as healthcare, consumer goods, metal, energy, electronic, automotive and other industries. The robot can be installed in 4 types of position mounting - Floor, Ceiling, Wall and Angle, which allow customization according to user preference.

KUKA teach pendant comes with 8 jog keys and 6D mouse, which is easier for the user to use and control the robot for programming. The teach pendant also can be plugged and unplugged easily from the controller.

KUKA Robotic also comes with new technology - Ready2_Pilot, allowed the user to control the robot without using the teach pendant. It is installed at the robot and used to move and program the robot easily, freely and precisely.

Other than material handling, transporting, measuring, palletizing, the application that robot can perform includes painting, welding, assembly, cutting, laser and many more. These applications can be done easily, safely, productively and faster.

Benefit

Robotics system works towards reducing the human error which is one of the major problems that leads to accident, injuries or even death. User would only need to program the robot to complete the task. This helps to reduce the human mistake, increase the accuracy and precision. According to Theverge, the speed of the robot can be 10 times faster than using human worker. This also help to boost the efficiency and productivity of the company.

Engaged robotic in a production can be more cost effective where a robot can handle more than 1 workers task. This help to save in labour cost and reduce the worry of losing skilled workers.

KUKA Connect automates routine maintenance task scheduling to keep your robots in optimal condition. User can track past, current, or upcoming maintenance events to prevent any unscheduled downtime.

KR QUANTEC PA robots are the fastest, strongest and most precise palletizing robots on the market. Invest in maximum compactness and top process efficiency.
