Narrow aisles, space-optimized areas, little room for error: Modern production and storage facilities make efficient use of every square meter. Employees, pallets and autonomous transport systems share the same workspaces. Nipper has optimized its driverless pallet transport vehicles with automation technology from B&R specifically for these demanding conditions – for safe, predictable and highly efficient movements with centimeter precision.

Sometimes it’s a tiny implant that saves a life: a stent that ensures blood flow. Manufacturing these small lifesavers is a highly precise, technically demanding process. Admedes and B&R, the Machine Automation Division of ABB, reimagined stent production – and developed a braiding machine that sets new standards.

Nowadays, humans, robots and machines work together closely and efficiently in modern production facilities. To make this interaction possible, leading automation technology and innovation are required. KNAPP and B&R demonstrate this impressively with their joint intralogistics solution.

The X20 System from B&R has been available on the market for twenty years. What would normally mean the end of the lifecycle for many products does not apply here because the system has been further developed over the years. Product Manager Andreas Hager explains why the X20 will remain crucial to the success of machine builders in the future.

Melzer Maschinenbau GmbH is one of the world's leading manufacturers of production lines for smart cards and labels. B&R's drive and automation technology plays an important role in ensuring the high precision, flexibility and production speed of the machines.
