The idea of something custom, or designed specially to fit ones needs, often brings about thoughts of increased pricing and longer lead-times. However, with the variety of conveyor offerings from mk North America, Inc., that is not always the case.
Artificial Intelligence, the use of computer systems to perform functions once only possible by humans, is becoming a powerful tool for everyday life. From real-time traffic maps to improve commute times, to uploading a check using your bank’s mobile app – the applications for AI are endless.
Automation and the use of robotics in the manufacturing industry isn’t a new concept, but the market is seeing explosive growth in recent years thanks to advancements in robotic technology. The American factory is now working more efficiently and effectively as automated solutions enter the workforce.
Since the 1960s, the automotive manufacturing industry has been at the forefront of industrial robotics and automation. In fact, the first industrial robot in history, George Devol’s Unimate, worked welding die castings to auto bodies for a General Motors assembly line starting way back in 1961!
With the International Federation of Robots estimating that the automotive industry will account for at least half of the worldwide growth in the robotics industry through 2018, it doesn’t look like the relationship between robots and car companies is changing any time soon.
