Added Value: The Importance of Aftermarket Care
You’ve covered every detail in upfront costs and factory floorspace, but what about technical support and service after production starts? Whether buying one robot or hundreds, having access to diverse support services to ensure peak robot performance is vital to maximizing your return on investment. Here’s why.
Weld Nut Sensors Increase Process Reliability
An economical alternative to more expensive optical or vision-based systems, IP67-rated weld nut sensors from Turck reliably detect the presence or absence of a nut welded to sheet metal to ensure efficient and accurate production in welding applications.
Using a 3D Virtual Environment to Reduce Downtime
Using IoT-based technology to connect robots, controllers and other real hardware to a 3D virtual environment, FASTSUITE simulation from CENIT debugs robot motion faster than ever – before downloading to actual equipment – increasing precision and efficiency to slash downtime on the shop floor
Cloud-Based Gas Detection for Hot Work Operations
With the entire iNet gas detection infrastructure from Industrial Scientific now operating through Amazon Web Services, fabrication and welding shops can quickly and easily access critical data they need online to monitor operations, prevent downtime, and save lives.

What Does “Collaborative” Really Mean?
Human-robot collaboration is changing manufacturing operations by helping shops deal with competitive pressures and a lack of skilled labor, but it is not a “one size fits all” solution. Before you invest, consider the different forms of robotic collaboration and how they apply to your entire application.
