Traditionally, joint forming technology was accomplished through pneumatic or hydraulic pressing. Adding rotary tool motion to the press operation greatly reduces the amount of downward force needed to accomplish the same or better results.
It is no secret that Industry 4.0 is upon us, and it is transforming traditional manufacturing into an adaptive and customer-centric environment capable of supporting new, innovative business models and revenue sources.
Manufacturers of all sizes have realized the benefits of adding MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) to their operations. However, the world of MES has grown exponentially and many companies are struggling to take advantage of these new capabilities.
Lean integrators are leveling the playing field for SMEs in highly innovative and cost-effective ways.

This white paper discusses how developments in robotics technology has led to a rise in lean integrators, whose unique structures and focused areas of expertise are critical to delivering automation benefits through collaborative robots for small to medium enterprises (SMEs).
For the first time in history, manufacturers realize that their plants are capable of generating much more data than they can currently process and benefit from.
Before cobots and other fast-deployable robots, many automated manufacturing cells incorporated only fixed or dedicated tooling rather than solutions that allow for changes or updates.
Modern manufacturers often take a technology-first approach to industrial transformation. Unfortunately, this results in critical business initiatives taking a back seat.
