The Impact of Teamwork in Developing Automation Solutions
The process of creating complex real-world solutions for automation is never easy, but when you add the technology of artificial intelligence and the prospect of multiple design partners to the mix, the task can almost take on a life and personality of its own. Collaboration is the teamwork that turned AlphaOne Robotics’ design on paper into a machine that runs in the real world. In this episode of Evolution in Controls, host Tim Wilson meets with Arnie Mueller, Vice President of Automation and Electrification at Bosch Rexroth, and Rexroth’s Dan Barrera, Head of Warehouse Automation, to discuss how all three parties ensured the technology worked together and the process stayed on track.
Warehouse automation and logistics are bigger than ever, with a massive e-commerce boom over the last few years. While this growth has many benefits, it also poses several challenges: connectivity between the operational level and IT, mobile robotics, and AI ambition. This is where companies like Bosch Rexroth and Evolution Motion Solutions fit in. Rexroth boasts decades of industry experience and expertise in motors, drives, and controls, while Evolution is a key player in orchestrating the technologies together and ensuring they seamlessly function.
By utilizing Rexroth’s expertise in kinematics and Evolution’s technology integration capabilities, AlphaOne Robotics saw its vision come to life and address market gaps that the recent e-commerce growth has created. Their new solution helps save on labor costs, reduces safety risks, and greatly increases throughput, allowing for product variety and flexibility.
