The integration of Wandelbots Teaching for Fanuc robots is still under development. The first version is due to be launched on the market in 2023.
When applications were moved to the cloud, the issue of licensing was thought to have been resolved. But not everything is in good hands in the cloud, and now licensing has become even more important when operating containers due to the associated scaling.

Stirring and conveying technology
In many production facilities, conveying and agitating systems perform their work without exploiting their maximum potential. This is often due to factory-implemented control systems that are not always optimally aligned with the corresponding process sequences.

Composer2 is the new tool from Elmo Motion Control that allows machine designers to easily develop, test and implement their own control algorithms in the company's Platinum drives and multi-axis motion controllers.

With i³ Control, Yaskawa presented a completely new automation platform for the first time in spring. Now the company is officially launching the first products.
With the help of biofeedback, it is possible to improve human-robot interaction and automatically adapt the robot to the needs of humans.

Baumüller relies on OPC UA as an interface for the transfer of data between different participants, such as visualization or edge controllers, and has developed the ProDataX software tool for communication via the control technology to the drive level.

Advanced robotics applications
Artia is a prototype developed jointly by ArtiMinds Robotics and Siemens that connects the ArtiMinds Robot Programming Suite and Simatic Step 7. The aim of the software connector is to minimize the effort involved in implementing advanced robotics applications by automatically creating a communication interface between the robot controller and the PLC.

Comprehensive automation, drive and control solutions from a single source define Yaskawa's presence in addition to the PLC - from the process level to interfaces and controllers to application-specific drive technology and robot-based applications.
