“Artificial intelligence has now entered the everyday language of industry. But beyond the enthusiasm and expectations, the real question is different: where can it create concrete value in the design of automatic machines?” Beyond the novelty effect Over the past two years, artificial intelligence has become the protagonist of conferences, trade fairs, and corporate presentations....
“For many years, designing a machine meant finding the best solution. Today, it means finding one that can evolve.” Every machine is created to solve a problem. But no one can predict the next one. Those who design automatic machines are well aware of this situation. A system is developed to produce a specific component,...
From traditional automation to intelligent motion In recent years, motion control has undergone a profound transformation. While linear axes were once considered simply components designed to move a load from point A to point B, today they represent an integral part of machine intelligence. The evolution of the manufacturing sector, the growing demand for production...
“When a project does not reach the expected cycle time, the first reaction is often to seek more speed. In practice, however, the solution is almost always something else.” The race for performance In the world of automation, it is natural to associate high performance with ever-increasing speeds. If a machine produces too slowly, instinct...
“When a component is at its limit, the problem is evident. When it is oversized, it often remains hidden. Yet this too is a design choice with consequences.” The Doubt Every Designer Knows Sooner or later it happens. When selecting a component, a question arises that is as simple as it is difficult: “What if...
