When Part Gauging is a Bottleneck
Defined processes are critical to continuous improvement in manufacturing. Key measurement points are identified and metrics are put in place to measure processes. The resulting data is meant to be used for process improvement. It is in the evaluation of the data...The Cobot Ecosystem for Automated Gauging
Premium partners help New Scale Robotics deliver premium gauging systems, perfectly tailored to your application and ready to expand An advantage of collaborative robots (cobots) is the robust ecosystem of end-of-arm-tooling, sensing, and other components that...Cobots Calm Labor Market Woes for High-Mix Manufacturers
