Position sensors power smart manufacturing

Position sensors power smart manufacturing

Ongoing supply chain issues, skill gaps and ever-changing customer demands mean that now, more than ever, manufacturers are adopting ‘smart’ manufacturing mindsets to keep up. In this article, Richard Mount, Director of Sales at Swindon Silicon Systems, explores the role of position sensors within smart manufacturing, and how ASICs can drive the technology forwards.

‘Smart’ ultra-compact profile sensor is key to time-saving electroplating robot

‘Smart’ ultra-compact profile sensor is key to time-saving electroplating robot

In many applications, surface coating, such as electroplating, is an important part of the manufacturing process. If performed manually, it will require a considerable amount of space and human resources. However, a good example of the benefits of advanced automation and robotics is the development of an innovative robot cell which enables fully automated electroplating.
