Manufacturing Tecnology — Automation

AI And Automation: Together Forever? While it has not yet arrived, the time is approaching in packaging and processing manufacturing when it will be nearly impossible to discuss advancements in automation without addressing congruent developments in artificial intelligence (AI). AI and automation are particularly intertwined in robotics, supplying workforce-enhancing solutions that not only complete repetitive tasks but also support and improve decision-making processes. ISTOCK Already, industrial robots with a high risk of breakdown can self-minimise downtime by pre-scheduling maintenance and ordering spare parts or by analysing vision system and sensor data to reduce the time taken to complete a task....
