The Effect of Additive Manufacturing/Metal 3-D Printing on the Bottom Line

October 1, 2017

To many, metal 3-D printing, or additive manufacturing (AM), is way out there on the someday horizon. In reality, however, it’s already in use in multiple industries, providing a highly favorable effect on the bottom lines of those that have already embraced it. Metal 3-D AM takes what used to be solutions made up of multiple parts and creates instead a simple-to-highly-complex metal part.

OPTIMIZE WORKFLOWS WITH MOBILE ROBOTICS

whitePaper | March 3, 2022

Thanks to innovations in vision, mapping, safety and other technologies developed for self-driving vehicles, AMRs have overcome traditional barriers to automation in distribution centers (DCs) and complex manufacturing operations. They’re smart enough to “share the road” with human co-workers and other vehicles, find a different route if their original path is blocked, and respond to rapid changes in orders or logistics needs — all without human intervention. AMRs are also highly cost-effective, requiring minimal information technology (IT) or infrastructural changes and only a short integration period to learn their surroundings.
