Intelligent automation concepts and robotics solutions are the focus of Automatica in Munich. In addition to technological developments in the field of intelligent production, the role of humans in the factory of the future will also be discussed.

OnRobot, OptoForce and Perception Robotics become a new company. The three gripping system manufacturers will operate under the name OnRobot in future.
Added value through collaborative robotics
Humans and machines are increasingly working hand in hand. Automated processes will soon be standard in networked production environments. By then at the latest, it will be necessary to broaden our view: Only by focusing on the application as a whole can automation generate sustainable added value.
Vacuum gripper. The KCS gripper from Piab can pick up products of different shapes, materials and surfaces thanks to its foam surface. This means that a cobot can be used at different points in the production process as required.

In the logistics league of the RoboCup German Open 2018, the Carologistics team from Aachen, with the support of motion plastics specialist igus. became German champion.

With the smart EGL Profinet parallel gripper, Schunk has the world's first Profinet universal gripper with integrated electronics certified in the highest category C in its portfolio.
HRC in the electronics industry. In a depaneling machine from Schunk Electronic Solutions, a robot arm with a Schunk gripper takes over loading and unloading.This significantly increases efficiency in electronics production.
Handling systems made from linear units. Rose+Krieger specializes in the design of multi-axis handling systems for loading and unloading or pick-and-place tasks using toothed belt or spindle-driven linear units and aluminium construction profiles.

Automated handling of sensitive electronic components must be fast and gentle. Vacuum specialist Schmalz has developed the SCG flow gripper for this task. It ensures that plastic parts and circuit boards are transported safely.
