Humans and machines together Unlocking scope for flexibility Robots are establishing themselves in more and more 昀椀elds. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the number of industrial robots used worldwide will increase to about 2.6 million units by 2019. One of the driving factors is human-robot collabo- ration (HRC) made possible through innovative technology. 阀阀 is laying the groundwork for this with the LBR iiwa, the 昀椀rst industrially applicable, HRC- capable robot. Its sensitive sensors 阀阀 Navigation Solution permit seamless integration – without Intelligent orientation, any safety fence – and a division of Industry requirements occupy a central positioning, response. 阀阀 Navigation Solution labor between human and machine. role in the strategic orientation and knows the destination The human being controls and monitors de昀椀nition of these solution packages. and the best way to get production, the robot supplements the As a result, these packages have been there – every time. human’s capabilities and carries out developed jointly with customers and an extremely wide range of tasks as an specialists, and are tailor-made to the “Intelligent Industrial Work Assistent speci昀椀c tasks. (iiwa)”. The option of interacting with people, machines or workpieces ready2�use packages are combinations irrespective of location means that of 阀阀 software and hardware there is a practically unlimited range components which can be put into use of applications for this new generation immediately. In this way, the appropriate of mobile robotics. With its numerous package can be assembled by 阀阀 possible applications, the LBR iiwa is and the integrator to precisely match symbolic of the reality of Industrie 4.0. the customer’s automation experience. Added value through individual “ready2�use” solutions However, sometimes even maximum 昀氀exibility alone is not enough. Fast-paced branches of industry such as electronics or plastics require solutions and appli- cations that are ready for immediate use and easy to integrate. To meet the need for fast availability, 阀阀 has cooperated with some system partners to develop ready2�use solutions that can be im ple- 阀阀 昀氀exFELLOW mented by customers “out-of-the-box”. From manual to auto- mated in 10 minutes: the 阀阀 昀氀exFELLOW assists the operator 昀氀exibly and adaptably with a wide variety of tools that can be changed in a minute. Hello Industrie 4.0�we connect you
