Saving energy, conserving resources and reducing operating costs are challenges for tool grinders and therefore also tasks for their machine and component suppliers. One example is the ultra-fine filtration of cooling lubricant.
Verla-Pharm's medicinal products and food supplements have been available for decades. Ever-increasing throughputs result in ever-increasing logistics costs, whereby optimum utilization of the available production space is necessary.
The classic production line is a discontinued model. Increasingly complex and fully digitalized value chains require a well thought-out and flexible approach to automation.
When designing an assembly workstation, consideration should be given to whether it will be used by a right-handed or left-handed person. This should also be taken into account when working with collaborative robots.
The increasing automation of logistics processes in production and intralogistics is and will remain a decisive competitive factor for companies and a guarantee of their resilience. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) combined with stationary conveyor technology and automated warehouse solutions help to increase efficiency and also offer an easy and resource-efficient entry into the digital transformation thanks to improved process transparency (data and process mining).
Welding is one of the most complicated processes in the manufacturing process, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find suitable personnel. Can this problem be solved by automating processes? Can or should the robot colleague replace the experienced welder? The automation of manual welding is a complex, multi-stage process.

Exotec announces a new Skypath conveyor system, the optimized Skypicker picking robot and Deepsky, another proprietary storage software. All three products can be seamlessly integrated into the manufacturer's Skypod system.
Factories need flexibility to further increase productivity and introduce new products. Manufacturers must continuously adapt in order to increase productivity and production output.

Expansion of the robotics business
The SSI Schaefer Group and DS Automotion, headquartered in Linz, have signed an agreement for SSI Schaefer to acquire all shares in DS Automotion.
