Difference Between Automation And Robotics

Automation and robotics are two closely related technologies. In an industrial context, automation can be defined as a technology that is related to the use of mechanical-electrical systems based on computers for the operation and control of production. Consequently robotics is a form of industrial automation (Siciliano, 2016).

Robotics for improvement of productivity & QC:

The automation of core tasks in a production process has been a long-standing priority, but it has been difficult to do so cost-effectively. With Sawyer, we have an affordable solution that improves process consistency, resulting in better parts quality and increased productivity. It has provided our company with a competitive advantage that goes beyond what we expected.

This is thanks to the identification of objects through radio waves through tags, also known as a chip or transponder or tag, which contains a small transmitting antenna that receives the radio waves. RFID solutions often enhance the efficiency of the business with better visibility and traceability of any type of asset as they move through the supply chain. With real-time monitoring information, important business assets will be located (Lyu,

Many manufacturing industries rely on CAM for producing parts of high quality. CAM includes using computer applications for defining manufacturing plans for designing tools, CAD preparation, NC-program preparation, CMM control programming, simulation of machine tools or the post-processing stages. Plans are then run within the production environment, like the direct numerical controls – DNC’s, tool management programs, CNC machining & CMM executions (Cobetto,
