Shaping the future of packaging

demo are the ACOPOStrak and ACOPOS 6D transport systems, which enable highly dynamic, single-product and freely configurable product movement. The system is supported by a Codian delta robot that transfers [...] interaction with robots, vision systems or other devices. They will also be able to see how easy it is to simulate, optimize, and diagnose a high-tech industrial transport system with B&R’s integrated technology [...] with motion axes, track systems, and machine vision. Instead of relying on multiple controllers and fragile handshake communication between robots, machines and vision systems, with B&R technology, everything

"An investment in robotics pays off faster than people expect"

mechanical systems in place to do things like move products from one level of the machine to the next. If anything about the product changes – its size, its shape or its weight – these systems all need to [...] combine robotics with an intelligent track system, there is even greater potential for optimization. How did that happen? Brandstetter: The shuttles on the track system can each be controlled independently and [...] the B&R automation system. Customers benefit from unprecedented precision in synchronization between robotics and machine control. They need only one controller and one engineering system for development

Salzburg University and ABB’s Machine Automation Division (B&R) Collaborate to Advance AI-Enabled Energy Optimization in Industrial Motion Control

for industrial drive systems. A recent milestone of this collaboration is the filing of a joint patent application in the field of energy‑optimized motion control for drive systems used in industrial automation [...] reinforcement learning (RL) methods that can learn directly from real system behavior. A learning agent, deployed on the physical system, interacts with the machine and autonomously learns how different motion [...] contribute to energy losses, adapting the control strategy accordingly, without requiring a complete system model. A key innovation of the work lies in a new mathematical formulation of the learning strategy
