IFR Explains Practical Use of Multifunctional Industrial Robots, With Hopes of Cutting Reprogramming Time and Costs
The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) published an explainer on the practical use of multifunctional industrial robots. It noted that conventional robots are designed for a single task and that making changes requires considerable time and expense. With the advance of Industry 4.0, more flexible and adaptable robots are beginning to emerge.
What happened
The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) published an explainer on the practical use of multifunctional industrial robots.
Why it matters
IFR says that making industrial robots more multifunctional could reduce the burden of having to stop and reconfigure them each time they are used for a different task. For manufacturers seeking to use the same equipment across multiple processes, the focus is on how to reduce the time, labor and expense required for reprogramming.
