Role of Robotics in Digital Manufacturing!

Global digital manufacturing market size will reach $ 709.2 billion by 2031, growing by 13.9% annually over 2021-2031, driven by the emerging trend of digitalization

The current trend in the field of manufacturing is digitalization. New technologies that have become available and digital production processes that have been developed contribute to the idea of an integrated, automated factory. Digital manufacturing can be defined as the opposite of traditional manufacturing and industrial processes. Traditional manufacturing focuses on the production of physical goods using various techniques. Research reports indicate that digital manufacturing services generate more revenue than any other offshoring service category.


One of the key elements of digital manufacturing is robotics which plays an important role in the development and use of automation. In fact, industrial robots have become an essential part of any modern automated production line around the globe due to their excellent capabilities in terms of precision, speed, repeatability and flexibility.


Although a variety of advanced technologies are helping to make manufacturing more efficient and cost-effective, only robotics can deliver the repeatability, flexibility and high-quality production that is critical for success in today’s global economy.


The benefits of robotics in digital manufacturing and production are many, including higher precision and quality, increased capacity, lower costs, the ability to work in more challenging environments, and better on-line monitoring.


Global digital manufacturing market will reach $ 709.2 billion by 2031, growing by 13.9% annually over 2021-2031, driven by the emerging trend of digitalization, the extensive research and development (R&D) in the field of production technologies, the development of technologically advanced and innovative digital manufacturing tools, the implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics, along with the increasing adoption of product lifecycle management (PLM) systems.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
