Robotics Integration

Robotics integration is the process of programming robots and/or robotic systems to perform automated tasks in production operations. Robotics system integrators, such as JR Automation, analyze manufacturing, material handling, shipping and inspection lines to identify areas for improvement and install the appropriate automation technology, which may include robotics. There are two main types of robots used for automation: industrial robotics and the newer collaborative robotics.

Industrial Robotics

Industrial robotic systems are machines built for use in industrial environments, designed to perform a range of tasks. Such robotics may take the form of multi-axis robotic arms, automated guided vehicles and other similar devices. Modern developments have made these systems flexible and scalable, offering customers greater control over their operations. The ability to easily reprogram robotic systems in response to changing demands, seasonal variations, or product updates is a significant advantage. The scalability, flexibility and accuracy of robotic automation make it an increasingly popular choice for integration into low to high-volume production lines worldwide. Typical industrial robot applications include:

Material handling
Meeting
Paint Protector
Palletising
Source
Inspection and testing
Distribution
Material cutting including laser, plasma, water jet
Material removal

Collaborative Robotics
Collaborative robotics integration involves installing robots and other automation technologies alongside workers to complete tasks. Collaborative robots, also known as cobots, are designed to operate autonomously and can be programmed similarly to their industrial robot counterparts. In order to prevent accidents or injuries, workers require different considerations for safety and ergonomics when near robotic arms. Therefore, companies should work with experienced integrators for planning and consulting before integrating collaborative robots. Further information on getting started with collaborative robots in production can be found here.

What are the advantages of robotics in manufacturing?

By integrating robotics into production lines, material handling processes and other key areas, companies can enhance accuracy, repeatability and consistency, while accelerating time to market. Robotics integrators like JR Automation collaborate with a diverse range of industries, including automotive, medical and life sciences, e-commerce, and more. Our goal is to help our clients reduce labour costs, cut production expenses, enhance cycle times and quality, and address other potential challenges.

It is also beneficial to work with an experienced robotics integrator. Robotics system integrators can design and build a solution to meet your specific needs or work with your existing capital equipment to enhance your processes.

Orza Robotics is also highly experienced in the safety considerations required for successful robotics integration. We can complete critical risk assessments and perform other tasks (such as employee training) necessary for the implementation of your robotics solutions.
