Advanced Automation (Page 3)

Our country’s ability to manufacture large structures and systems has decreased over the last several decades. In response to cross-industry concerns, NIST recently sponsored a project led by EWI and its partners to develop a U.S. Roadmap for Accelerating Production of Large Structures and Systems. The findings of this study can be found in NIST...

EWI has developed a unique robot training cell that can be deployed at fabrication shops, mill, and foundries that are starting to incorporate robotic applications into their processes. The specially designed workstation utilizes a collaborative robot (“cobot”) to give students instruction and practice on the most common automation-assisted tasks found in small manufacturing operations. With...

The incorporation of automated processes into the manufacturing of large industrial equipment might seem overwhelming. How can industrial equipment companies use advanced robotic and automation-assisted tools to create comprehensive, convergent manufacturing systems in a pragmatic, efficient, and economical way? EWI’s new guide, Automated Solutions for the Heavy Industries, highlights different ways we are making a...
