This article will take a comparative look at sodium-ion and lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and highlight the feasibility of using #sodiumion batteries in industrial machinery. bit.ly/3XIsxgn

A human-centered remote monitoring and control system for industrial robots upgrades remote connectivity and control. How? Learn more in this article. bit.ly/3RLYG5l

This article explores five ways #cobots are supercharging #automotive manufacturing efficiency, along with examples from industry leaders. bit.ly/3tfWau1 #collaborativerobots #robotics

Read this article to learn more about an attachable accessory system that brings smart technology to power #wheelchairs for stability, security and connectivity. bit.ly/3LEWFEa

#CNC or #3Dprinting? Why not both? Hybrid approaches combine subtractive and additive manufacturing processes to deliver precise outputs at greater speeds. bit.ly/3PxxatD #additivemanufacturing #AM

#TechXchangeTuesday: With #surgical systems becoming more portable, joint-level energy efficiency is increasingly treated as a design constraint. @maxongroupus' Peter van Beek demonstrates how modular subsystems rise to this. bit.ly/4uAdqEz #robotics

Unlocking #autonomous potential requires building safety architectures where robots can assess context and respond proportionately by slowing down, rerouting or pausing, rather than defaulting to full emergency stops. bit.ly/4tshbei

Learn how industrial #computedtomography (#CT), #digitaltwins and collaborative platforms are improving workflows across design, #simulation, #manufacturing and inspection in machine #engineering. bit.ly/45MOQW6

This article explains why #engineers are making #softwaredefined #automation, #digitaltwins, soft #PLCs and other agnostic tools part of the #manufacturing #automation toolkit. bit.ly/3YVEX6W

The industrial sector alone consumes about 54% of the world’s total delivered energy. With this awareness, manufacturers are embedding sustainability and resilience principles into their operations to increase competitiveness. See how: bit.ly/4djTX23

High-performing engineering teams sustain speed by continually refining workflows. Success depends on a clear understanding of the prototype process flow—from @CCTYGroup. bit.ly/42gpsXH

A growing number of manufacturers are saving time and money by testing, diagnosing and even repairing servo motors in-house. We look at the expanded role of encoder test systems and present one manufacturer’s 12-step process to ease servo motor repair. bit.ly/4gmoTkZ

Most #manufacturing operations are fashioned from many subsystems. Automating all these pieces located at the #industrial #edge and orchestrating them to work together smoothly is the initial challenge, and no small task itself. bit.ly/3u97QtZ #automation #edgecomputing

The design of the training #robot includes lube-free #bearings that ensure suitability for applications in clean environments. bit.ly/3Lpbmv2 #robotics

Court orders Elite Robots to pull copied software from German market. Plus, three more legal showdowns expose disputes pushing boundaries of intellectual property protection in #automation design. bit.ly/3RfCUZm #HannoverMesse

Non-contact laser welding offers several advantages when it comes to joining one plastic part to another. Lasers can create clean connections between plastic parts, there are issues that need to be addressed first. bit.ly/3ZtYnA2
