挑战
Injection Technology (Itech) 是一家为各种需要精密塑料零件的客户定制的模具制造商，这些客户需要为电表盖、牙科器具外壳和线轴等产品提供精密塑料零件。 95 名员工在 30,000 平方英尺的工厂中操作 23 台成型机，Itech 希望减少工时并提高效率。
客户
注塑技术（Itech）
关于客户
Injection Technology (Itech) 是一家热塑性塑料定制成型商，于 1987 年在北卡罗来纳州成立。 Itech 在北卡罗来纳州的雅顿和南卡罗来纳州的威斯敏斯特设有工厂。他们有 40 台注塑机，从 60 吨到 1000 吨不等。
解决方案
Itech 采用的解决方案是配备 6 轴臂的 IRB 4400 机器人。机器人的抓手可以从 390 吨东芝注塑机上取下两个半线轴，将其摆动到装配台上，将其翻转并将两个半线轴装配在一起。然后，机器人将组装好的线轴插入超声波焊接机，将两半焊接在一起。

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
