When systems integrators hit roadblocks where they must design something brand new that’s never been done before, that’s what we’re good at. There are a lot of great systems integrators out there that build industrial automation systems that can do exactly what you need, bringing together industrial robots, controllers, vision systems, control cabinets, PLCs, and so on, explains Doug Harriman, Vice President of Engineering at Simplexity Product Development. These integrators know the space, know the suppliers, and do a great job – but Simplexity isn’t trying to play there, instead, the company aims to find a niche in the market where there’s a new problem, where solutions don’t quite exist, and this is where we think we can add a lot of value, he explains.

Systems integrators can become victims of their own success. In these cases, remote support becomes a much more viable and cost-efficient option. Some systems integrators can become victims of their own success. When integrators deploy many systems and the crew that built the cells don't have the bandwidth to travel and see all these customers and can’t staff up massive service departments – it can become an issue. Companies looking for a more cost-effective means of keeping customers happy while also building new cells now have options, according to Fredrik Rydén, CEO of Olis Robotics. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, Rydén joined TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll to discuss the company’s unique service within the industrial automation space, which is a remote monitoring system that runs next to a robot system, not only monitoring it 24/7 and catching, recording, and logging faults, but also enabling remote control and teleoperation of the system.

If you're selling a limited number of products over the course of Q1-Q3, and then suddenly you have this incredible spike in demand with peak season, that variability doesn't lend itself to sort of traditional forms of automation. The world is changing, day to day, week to week, and what you are selling today may not be what you are selling tomorrow. In addition, consumer e-commerce demands can shift drastically – whether it’s the pandemic, the labor shortage, or seasonal spikes – different types of automation technologies are required to automate modern day warehouses, said Al Dekin, Chief Revenue Officer and Co-Founder of Locus Robotics. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, Dekin and his colleague Vered Tomlak joined TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll to discuss an extensive range of automation topics, including advancements in AMRs and AI, the humanoid vs. AMR debate, and how companies can handle the automation demand during peak season.
