Cut Through the Hype: Evaluating AI and Robotic Technologies for Transforming Your High-Mix Manufacturing Operations
Until recently, high-mix manufacturing has been largely excluded from advances in robotics and automation solutions. Variations in part geometries and requirements make it difficult for inflexible machinery and traditional robotics. However, advances in collaborative robots, sensors and AI have opened the door for economical automation in common processes such as welding, sanding, polishing, spraying and grinding. In this session, we'll review the key technologies that have made automation a viable option for high-mix and low-volume operations, and what to consider when evaluating solutions. Case studies and real-world examples in various industries will be covered to provide concrete takeaways for attendees.

How Robot Offline Programming Drives Efficiency In High-mix, Low-volume Production
Robot offline programming (OLP) is transforming high-mix, low-volume production by enabling manufacturers to program robots 10 times faster without stopping production. Discover how different manufacturers are using OLP software to improve efficiency, reduce costs and stay competitive. Attendee will gain the knowledge of why manual robot programming falls short in high-mix, low-volume production, along with how robot offline programming solves these challenges within the real-world applications of robot offline programming.
