AUTONOMOUS SWEEPERS IN MODERN PRODUCTION FACILITIES

June 12, 2022

AUTONOMOUS Whitepaper
Automation has been a driving force behind greater productivity and efficiency in manufacturing companies since the 1980s. In the 2020s, a new generation of applications will enable even more production companies to benefit from the potential of automated processes. Advances in sensor technology and networking enable increasingly complex tasks to be performed reliably and safely by robots.

Thanks to high-performance sensor technology, they can automatically react to many changing circumstances. Connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), the robots automatically provide information about progress and incidents. Via a remote connection, the IoT technology can be provided with new instructions, monitored, and remotely operated if necessary.

Production of amorphous components via additive manufacturing on the way to commercialization

whitePaper | July 26, 2023

In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the field of amorphous metals, also known as metallic glasses. Here, new insights were gained into the composition of alloys in order to achieve a better glass forming ability and thus enable larger components. While the first amorphous alloys usually consisted of two elements, the currently most promising amorphous alloys often consist of four to five elements. Occasionally zirconium-based alloys show the best glass-forming ability, with which the largest component dimensions can be realized.

Validating additive manufacturing processes to meet medical regulations

whitePaper | June 26, 2022

the state-of-the-art procedure and the currently valid standards are presented. Subsequently, existing gaps and possible issues related to additive manufacturing (AM) technology are pointed out. Finally, a feasible procedure is outlined. This first section deals with the process chain and their qualification and validation. Until recently, there was no standard definition of the AM manufacturing process steps. There was a broad consensus to divide the process into pre-, in-, and post-process, but there was no clear division.
