How MiR Can Transport Waste Materials |
Throughout industries and whether companies are looking at returns, packing, or manufacturing processes, there is often a lot of leftover material that takes up space in the revenue generating areas within facilities. This material is often handled manually by dedicated employees who remove recycling and trash to the right areas, but this is inefficient and in a market that is highly challenged on finding labor, this is a task that could and should be automated.

Datalogic's Mass Flow Detection Systems (MFDS) |
MFDS (MassFlowDetectionSystem) is an advanced solution that enables automated data collection for non-conveyable parcels. In the ‘non-conveyable’ parcel sector, large items have increased significantly even more than traditional parcels, moreover, are subject to manual treatment, creating a labor-intensive process.

Robots Help Attract Workers to Address Labor Shortages |
Studies show that workers, especially Gen Z, would rather use robots than do repetitive tasks that could be automated. By implementing robotic solutions, companies can attract new talent, in a competitive hiring environment, while simultaneously improving production.
Robots and automation contribute to a needed shift in the type of work that people do. This article explores how the labor shortage is changing how we use automation.

UR Cobot Case Study
Featuring In-Position Technologies
|
Facing labor shortages, Aim Processing, a Colorado injection molder, wanted a versatile automation solution that could quickly be moved between work stations.
The company called up Seth Leinbach, sales engineer with local UR cobot distributor, In-Position Technologies, who did a factory walk-through with Gelston. “We looked at several applications and none were high enough volume to justify a dedicated robot cell,” says Leinbach. “Jon also had plenty of questions on how to repurpose a robot and how to match coordinate systems of the UR to the injection molding machine, and right away I thought it was a perfect fit for a UR+ solution by Flexxbotics called the Flexx Reference.”
