Designing the Smart Factory
Robots are in high demand in manufacturing across a variety of industries. Robotic applications grant automation engineers new degrees of freedom to expand and adjust production lines. They also offer improved levels of factory safety by taking the most hazardous tasks away from workers, significantly reducing the risk of accidents. In addition, upgrades in automation often lead to enhancements in the quality, consistency and speed of production output.
Achieving these enhancements requires industrial-grade robots that fit into tight, compact spaces, have robust, uncompromising worker safety protocols, and optimize performance with easy-to-maintain, long-lasting infrastructure.
Molex has spent decades refining the design and precision manufacturing processes of compact assemblies, connectors, sensors and cables used across industries, including automated manufacturing. With the convergence of ruggedness and miniaturization, Molex solutions, engineered and tested for both longevity and ease of use, address the complex requirements of advanced, highly compact robots in harsh environments while helping to ensure compliance with the latest functional safety standards. These solutions help robotics companies build reliable, error-proof automation that makes the future prospect of “lights-off” factories possible.
