Yaskawa at the Automatica 2025
At this year's Automatica, everything at Yaskawa revolves around AI-based robotics solutions for the smart factory and beyond. As a trade fair highlight, the manufacturer is presenting its new Motoman Next product concept.
The European automotive industry is facing upheaval: the EU Council of Ministers has agreed on a new end-of-life vehicle regulation. The aim is to anchor the reusability and recyclability of vehicles in the development process and reduce dependence on critical raw materials.
The newly founded Eisenmann Robotics division develops new robotics concepts to increase the level of automation in modern production facilities.
Kawasaki Robotics EMEA is presenting various new additions to its portfolio at Automatica under the title 'Experience Unmatched Reliability'. In addition to new robot models, the exhibits also include practical applications for numerous industries.
The SmartFactory Kaiserslautern (SF) technology initiative is presenting the 'Production Island_Phuket' at Automatica. While it has been an exhibitor at the Hannover Messe for years, it now wants to show at Automatica that many applications can already be used in reality.
Between new beginnings and uncertainty
The German economy appears to be slowly regaining its footing. In June, the Ifo Business Climate Index rose from 87.5 to 88.4 points. A small but important signal: companies are looking to the future with a little more confidence overall - even if the situation is still tense in many places.
Federated learning has established itself as an innovative method in the field of quality assurance, especially in scenarios where companies want to protect sensitive production data but still want to benefit from collaborative models.
Since September 2024, the start-up Botfellows, a spin-off from the Fraunhofer IWU, has been driving forward the development of innovative robotics software as an independent company. The focus is on the intelligent 'Botfellows Dynamic Safety' solution, which can be integrated directly into the robot controller.
Technical University of Munich
At automatica, the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) will be showcasing the diversity of its own robotics and AI research, which is also integrated into a powerful supra-regional ecosystem, not least through the Robotics Institute Germany (RIG) coordinated by TUM.
The AI platform Leo AI and the software provider Core Technologie are cooperating to automatically evaluate CAD data using artificial intelligence. The integration of the SDK 3D_Kernel_IO enables AI-supported analyses of technical data from over 40 CAD formats.
Automated machines, collaborative robots, 3D printing, artificial intelligence in data-driven process chains - the world of metalworking is changing rapidly. Recognizing development trends and maintaining an overview is a challenge.
The hybrid MVK Fusion fieldbus modules from Murrelektronik combine three elementary functions of installation technology: digital standard sensors and actuators, digital safety-related sensors and actuators and IO-Link.
Humanoid robots are also suitable for industrial applications. While previous systems are very expensive, Igus is now offering its first humanoid robot, Iggy Rob, as a low-cost solution.
To ensure that an online order arrives in perfect condition, the package must be well protected during shipping. A manufacturer of these shipping bags uses control technology from Beckhoff that integrates all stations along the line into an optimized workflow.
With the OVR series, Oriental Motor is launching a range of robots in a compact design. It starts with the OVR3041K3-H Scara robot arm, which is celebrating its premiere at Automatica.
Modular systems offer a simple and cost-effective way of putting together drive systems that are individually optimized for the respective application - and can also be adapted and modified as required. Linmot's complete package now also includes functional safety integrated into the drives.
Sensor solutions for industrial robotics
At Automatica, Sick will be focusing on the wide range of solutions for functional safety and industrial image processing as well as digital approaches such as augmented reality and AI.
Keba will be presenting its comprehensive, flexible and open robot and automation solutions at Automatica. This year, the full-service provider for industrial automation is placing particular emphasis on customized solutions.
