Siemens is including Teradyne robots to its customer expertise at MxD, which additionally hosts the EY digital operations hub. Supply: EY
Teradyne Robotics in the present day introduced that it’s creating a robotics showcase on the MxD (Manufacturing x Digital) innovation heart in Chicago with Siemens AG. A founding member of MxD, Siemens is including a spotlight to its industry-specific Digital Threads on robotics use circumstances pushed by synthetic intelligence.
“Our collaboration with Teradyne Robotics involves life at MxD, the place we offer our prospects with a view into the way forward for automation, based mostly on new, AI-driven applied sciences,” said Rainer Brehm, CEO of manufacturing unit automation at Siemens Digital Industries. “This can allow a frictionless journey between robotics and automation for our prospects.”
MxD is a nonprofit group supposed to function a hub for digital manufacturing and cybersecurity within the U.S. It mentioned its innovation heart options a number of the world’s most superior manufacturing tools.
Siemens and Teradyne proceed collaborating
The businesses mentioned their MxD actions construct on earlier collaborations introduced earlier this yr. They mentioned the showcase positions Teradyne Robotics as a key associate of Siemens for superior robotics and automation in North America.
“The groundbreaking automation improvements of the longer term gained’t come from one single firm however from shut cross-technology ecosystem collaborations,” mentioned Ujjwal Kumar, group president of Teradyne Robotics. “I’m thrilled to deepen our strategic partnership with Siemens and to proceed our joint efforts to form and speed up the way forward for industrial automation.”
Kumar spoke on the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston this previous Might. Teradyne Robotics is a division of North Studying, Mass.-based Teradyne Inc. It additionally has workplaces in Odense, Denmark, residence to collaborative robotic unit Common Robots (UR) and autonomous cell robotic (AMR) supplier Cell Industrial Robots (MiR).
In collaboration with Siemens, Common Robots and MiR will show techniques together with the compact UR5e cobot, the next-generation UR20 and UR30, a MiR 250 AMR, and a cell cobot. The demonstrations will replicate the setup of an actual manufacturing unit line, displaying automation for shopper packaged items (CPG), aerospace, cleanroom environments, semiconductor factories, and extra.
Siemens, a world chief in industrial automation {hardware} and software program, mentioned it and Teradyne will supply guests to MxD firsthand insights into robotics functions. The businesses additionally plan to indicate how these applied sciences can considerably profit their enterprise.
Companions work to increase interoperability
In April, Common Robots mentioned it had built-in PI’s Customary Robotic Command Interface (SRCI) into its software program, enhancing the connectivity of its cobots and offering easy integration with SIMATIC Automation system, that are supporting the PROFINET SRCI commonplace.
Equally, MiR is at present working with SIMOVE, the Siemens standardized platform for automated guided car (AGV) and AMR functions, to outline a VDA 5050 adapter. It mentioned this collaboration will improve interoperability at Siemens’ personal and buyer websites, in addition to guarantee streamlined integration amongst MiR robots, different cell tools, and the SIMOVE system.
Additionally in April this yr, UR and Siemens launched joint buyer references for advances in AI-enabled robotics. It created them to handle intralogistics success and the the challenges posed by a shrinking labor pool and rising operational prices.
By combining Siemens’ superior AI imaginative and prescient expertise, SIMATIC Robotic Choose AI, and UR’s cobots, the businesses mentioned they will allow “easy robotic choosing of any merchandise.”
See Teradyne at RoboBusiness 2024
Eric Truebenbach, managing director of Teradyne Robotics Ventures, will take part in panels on the way forward for robotics innovation and robotics funding tendencies at RoboBusiness 2024, which shall be on Oct. 16 and 17 in Santa Clara, Calif.
Along with enabling applied sciences and robotics innovation, RoboBusiness focuses on investments and enterprise matters associated to operating a robotics firm. Keynotes on the occasion will function:
- Rodney Brooks, co-founder and chief expertise officer at Strong AI, in addition to co-founder of iRobot and Rethink Robotics
- Sergey Levine, co-founder of Bodily Intelligence and an affiliate professor at UC Berkeley
- Claire Delaunay, chief expertise officer at farm-ng
- Torrey Smith, co-founder and CEO of Endiatx
RoboBusiness may also embrace greater than 60 audio system, over 100 exhibitors and demos on the expo ground, 10+ hours of devoted networking time, the Pitchfire Robotics Startup Competitors, a Ladies in Robotics Luncheon, and extra.
RoboBusiness shall be co-located with DeviceTalks West, which focuses on the design and improvement of medical units. Hundreds of robotics practitioners from all over the world will convene on the Santa Clara Conference Middle, so register now to make sure your spot!
