Bob will explore Robot Based Automation Systems to include how the industry functions, why to choose robot based automation, principles of system integration, general principles of robot technology, the business case for automating and calculating ROI plus the common mistakes made in Robot Integration. Come learn more through discussion and evaluating system photos and videos illustrating various robotic based flexible automation systems. You will have two opportunities to benefit from this great session, Monday, April 8 (8:00am-10:00am) and Thursday, April 11 (8:00am-10:00am).
When you get a chance to walk the exhibit hall floor yourself, what is it you will be most interested to see? Any educational sessions, pavilions etc. you plan on attending?
Our team is always looking for opportunities for our product portfolio in new industries. Additive manufacturing and 3D printing have become interesting for Güdel and we continue to see new application uses in these fields with our gantry robots and robot track motion units.
The factory floor is undertaking rapid advancements, be it automation, robotics, machine vision or data. Automation Technology is a huge part for many manufacturers, give us an idea on how your company and product is being utilized now in the smart factory.
Güdel is starting to incorporate condition monitoring packages on Güdel-manufactured roller bearings for use on after-market retrofits of our gantry robots. Güdel defines and uses Condition Monitoring for a set of IIoT based products and tools for Güdel customers to perform condition based maintenance on smart Güdel products.
Give us your thoughts on what the future holds for manufacturers and automation technology.
We will continue to see more of the smart factory embedded across our entire mechanical product offering. This has many advantages that will help us stay better connected with our customer base and ensure that our products continue to run without downtime. This will also allow the Güdel Service Team to expand its offerings in the aftermarket sector and become proactive by being better able to predict and communicate to our customers when action needs to take place.
