Comau Introduces its Industry 4.0 Automation Solutions at Hannover
Comau, a leading global company operating in the industrial automation field, showcases its “new era of automation” at the Hannover Messe 2017 tradeshow, being held April 23 – 28, 2017 in Hannover, Germany.
Comau’s approach to collaborative, digital manufacturing is open, connected and easy to understand and to use. The solution is characterized by a totally safe and synergistic collaboration between man and robot. In HUMANufacturing industrial robots are no longer confined within the barriers and instead work directly alongside operators. HUMANufacturing also means strengthening the value of “human” in the manufacturing industry.
Using wearable and mobile human-machine interface devices, line operators will work in close contact with AURA robots within the assembly line. In addition, Comau’s SmartRob assembly solution and the new Agile1500 AGV system, both of which are fully IoT-ready, are also part of the production line.
At Hannover Messe 2017 the company will introduce the unique, “build-it-yourself” articulated 6-axis robot based on a fully open-source hardware and software platform that encourages application sharing and expansion. Perfect for educational, entertainment, commercial and consumer use, the robot can handle everything from executing simple pick and place movements to automating applications for business or personal use.
- Digitalization is transforming the industry in amazing ways, and our role is to guide companies of all sizes throughout this process, providing them with customized solutions that are fully connected and easy to use. This commitment to developing products and skills that enhance the digital factory is evidenced in the expansion of our comprehensive offer, which we have the pleasure of unveiling here at Hannover Messe, says Mauro Fenzi, CEO of Comau.
