Overview

Utilizing Cobots for Finishing and Other Hazardous Applications
Discover how hazardous-rated cobots are revolutionizing industries like finishing and powder coating, with user-friendly programming tools and real-world applications that enhance safety and efficiency. Programming features such as drag&drop, manual guided teach, and other quick tools will be covered as well as discussions on real world applications that could integrate cobots and the added benefits.

Industry 5.0 Ready, Friction Driven Overhead Material Handling Systems
In the new age of Industry 5.0 and AI implementation, attendees will discover friction driven solutions as alternative methods for overhead material handing. This presentation will include a brief review of traditional methods of overhead material handling systems like monorail, power and free systems, and Industry 4.0 and then transition to friction driven technologies like electrified monorail systems, friction driven vehicle systems, and friction driven systems that utilize stationary drive units and how they can be utilized by Industry 5.0 with AI. Hear about real world applications for each of the friction driven technologies and how using these methods of overhead conveyance can change the way systems are designed like fabrication bays, paint systems, and assembly lines with the implementation of Industry 5.0 with the next generation of advancements in AI.
