Karakuri & worker assistance: The perfect combination of mechanics and digital steering
In today's newsletter we will continue the topic of Karakuri - the second part will focus on the connection between low-cost automation and digital worker assistance. Thanks to integrated sensors, our ELAM software directly controls and monitors the mechanical processes - without any PLC. Find out how this combination optimizes your production in the long term.
1. Seamless process integration
Karakuri: Takes on practical tasks such as transporting components and supporting ergonomically optimized work processes.
ELAM: Guides through assembly processes, documents every step and controls the peripherals directly – without any PLC. This reduces costs and simplifies processes.
2. Sensors and actuators: interfaces without PLC
ELAMenables the direct connection of sensors and actuators to the workstation computer, eliminating the need for PLCs.
Sensors detect movements, loads or positions, while actuators such as clamping cylinders or pick-to-light systems are seamlessly integrated.
Galvanically isolated interfaces ensure a robust and cost-effective implementation.
3. Ergonomics, Efficiency and Future
Mechanics: Low Cost Automation relieves employees through intelligent, ergonomic designs.
Digital:ELAM provides interactive visualizations and work instructions, reduces errors and shortens training times.
Future prospects: New materials and self-optimizing systems enable predictive maintenance and flexible, modular production processes.
The symbiosis of Karakuri and digital assistance via ELAM shows how low-cost automation combines traditional mechanics with modern control technology - without any PLC. This creates cost-efficient, flexible and future-oriented manufacturing processes.
