Automated Warehouse Guidance Made Simple
The logistics industry has evolved to employ automated shuttle and automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) to move products in three-dimensional planes within distribution centers and networks. In most cases, you need some form of linear guidance to support these moving systems. Many logistics companies invest hours and overhead costs into developing and sourcing linear guidance systems themselves or through a subsidiary.
Pre-built Robots Streamline Automation for Simple Processes
As automation continues to transform manufacturing productivity, competitiveness often comes down to maintaining “lights out” processes and lowering engineering time and costs. While robotic systems can provide undeniable benefits like efficiency and labor savings, not every task is ideally suited for automation. Relatively simple tasks like moving parts between two positions, gluing or palletizing may not justify a complex and expensive robotic system. And it can be easy to lose sight of how much design time is involved with implementing a robotic system for routine jobs. When automating simple applications that are essential to a manufacturing process, a pre-built Cartesian system can be a wise choice.
