Assuming an average machine hourly rate of 2,500 euros, the failure of an industrial robot is associated with high costs. For the first time, local AI makes it possible to reliably implement predictive maintenance from the gearbox to the gripper without expensive industrial PCs, as well as to take the collaboration, safety and intelligence of automated guided vehicles and cobots to the next evolutionary stage.

Among other things, Turck came to Nuremberg with a robust and compact multiprotocol Ethernet read/write head. The company is thus expanding its RFID portfolio with an efficient solution with unique features.

The partnership between Eureka System, a system integrator for industrial companies with a focus on automation, and Keba Industrial Automation is still in its infancy.
