Automation and artificial intelligence are changing production paradigms
At SPS Italia Omron will demonstrate how, thanks to the contribution of artificial intelligence, detection and control technologies (typical to automation) will help innovate production according to Industry 4.0 paradigms. At the space dedicated to 4.0 technology (pad. 4) the benefits in management terms brought by the collection and display of production data will also be shown.
Integrated solutions for higher yields. Omron’s solutions in the field of robotics, autonomous inspection vehicles (AIV) and vision, control, safety/security and inspection facilitates vertical and horizontal integration, the smart management of production data and human-machine collaboration, enabling production to be optimised. In addition to developing, producing and patenting these technologies, Omron provides the architecture needed to effectively implement them on the production sites.
This is the case of the Sysmac automation platform, designed to ensure complete control and management of facilities in a single software environment. The programming, based on standard and open networks, enables the creation of a globally standardized system.
The platform core, the NX and NJ series of machine controllers, ensures synchronous control of all machine devices and offers advanced features such as motion, robotics, vision, security/safety and database connectivity.
Mobile industrial LD robots. These offer a new level of efficiency and saving for the movement of goods in large facilities and in very dynamic environments. This family of robots has been developed for the rapid and reliable transport of materials, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a load capacity of 60 or 90 kg depending on the model. Compared to traditional AGVs, Omron mobile robots move autonomously, making floor magnets, tapes or laser beacons unnecessary, all to the advantage of a flexible factory layout.
The delivery points can in fact be easily modified to accommodate mobile robots, which can still be integrated into traditional automation systems (conveyors), while guaranteeing full goods traceability.
IPC and touchscreen interfaces. Omron’s proposals also include the new generation of industrial PCs, panel PCs and industrial monitors. Durable, reliable, scalable and high performance, they are suitable for display, data management, measurement, control, regulation and verification of process and machine data. They are supplied ready for transparent connection to machine, field and IT environment networks. In the new range of industrial monitors with touchscreen, the intelligent algorithms created enable the detection of non-standard actions such as false finger or palm touches (palm rejection), washing or cleaning, and even whether the user is wearing gloves.
