But where we can make a very significant contribution is anywhere individual parts are assembled to make the products [...] produced separately and needed to be put together. That process – called medical device assembly – can benefit enormously from automation. Why has B&R decided to enter the market now? Holmberg: The main [...] manufactured. Changing between production runs becomes effortless and profitable. At the same time, lines can easily accommodate new market requirements or government regulations. That sounds quite promising –

floorspace is especially valuable – the footprint savings alone can be really dramatic. The other big contribution from ACOPOS 6D is that the shuttles can move each product with six degrees of freedom. That allows [...] require more complex hardware. At a bottle filling station, for example, instead of a SCARA robot you can use a Cartesian one. You save on hardware and maintenance and have a more flexible station that takes [...] space on the line. And the shuttles' innate ability to rotate or weigh products means those tasks can be done on-the-fly while in transit – completely eliminating the need for dedicated stations. More

B&R customers can keep using openSAFETY in their existing machines, for example, while also using OPC UA Safety for [...] B&R's SafeLOGIC controller. Since both safety protocols are implemented on our safety controller, it can communicate just as easily via openSAFETY or OPC UA Safety – on the same device at the same time.
