Manufacturing and Automation White Papers

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandates company leaders certify the accuracy of warehouse inventory reporting. Poor inventory tracking practices place leaders at risk of certifying and sharing inaccurate inventory data. This white paper explores these risks that are magnified by outdated and highly manual inventory handling practices. Download this paper to learn how other companies are reducing inventory reporting risks with automated computer vision solutions that improve the veracity of reported data while reducing need for expensive warehouse labor requirements.

The growing shortage of skilled workers is increasing the pressure on industrial companies to automate their processes. Flexible, cost-effective and easy-to-implement robotics solutions such as autonomous mobile robots and collaborative robots are therefore in demand. Mobile manipulators connect both robot systems, but often cannot be used economically due to insufficient battery power. The solution: the Wireless Power Kit from Wiferion, which enables wireless charging for both systems simultaneously.

End-of-line packaging is the last state of the packaging process. This requires individual and powerful drive systems to move heavy loads over long travel distances. Read our white paper to find out more about the use of decentralized drive solutions with asynchronous motors in end-of-line packaging.

NORD asynchronous technology with its increased inertia has decisive advantages in end-of-line packaging. When moving heavy loads, it ensures better control than conventional servo solutions. It also provides stability and reduces vibrations and the risk of damaging the load or packaging machine. Find out more in our white paper: Decentralized Drive Solutions with Controlled Frequency Inverters in End-of-Line Packaging”.

In a tight labor market, companies are under pressure to figure out how to do more with less—less headcount, less overhead, and in less time. Our white paper, “Robots to the Rescue: How Material Handling Automation Battles Persistent Labor Shortages,” shares solutions to these challenges and more.

How to bring resilient, stable, and flexible computing to harsh edge environments: This eBook will help you understand the value of collecting, controlling, and acting upon data on edge devices, and illuminate some of the specific infrastructure needs to optimize far edge deployments.

Work today is complex, flexible, and multidimensional, requiring a new approach to manage this dynamic work. With the right resources, you can see, connect, and control even your most complex projects – and manage the dynamic work that drives revenue. Quickbase commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ analysis, to determine potential benefits and cost savings that companies can experience with Quickbase.

One indisputable fact exists for most manufacturers and distributors: Warehouse automation stands as one of the last areas where long-term costs can be significantly reduced.

In the realm of motion control and position feedback, encoders are pivotal. Two prominent types in today's industry are the capacitive and inductive encoders. This paper takes a closer look at each of these, providing insights for those seeking to choose between them for specific applications.
