Predictive maintenance. Automotive supplier Koki benefits from ABB's Ability Connected Services. The proactive service portfolio provides early warning of impending problems, making inspection and maintenance more effective.

Robot with vision system handles the bulk... (www.polyformnext.de)
Separating, separating, sorting
Small parts such as connecting, spacer or operating elements made of plastic are often produced as bulk goods. They need to be separated and often sorted for further processing. 'Seeing' robots are designed to significantly increase the efficiency of these processes compared to conventional sorting systems.
