Menial tasks are those repetitive, tedious, or dangerous tasks that a robot is capable of doing freeing up time for associates to focus on high-value-added tasks.
The types of robots used to automate applications can be different and sometimes confusing, so we're breaking it all down for in this episode.
Please join us as we explore collaborative robots, also called cobots. You'll hear the differences between an industrial robot and a collaborative robot. As well as:

What makes a cobot collaborative
Are there cost savings between an industrial robot and a cobot
The types of applications that are better suited for collaborative robots
How collaborative robots can be used to empower employees
The ROI (return on investment) for a cobot

Did you hear? elliTek has partnered with Hanwha Robotics to provide United States manufacturers their HCR Advanced Series collaborative robots! Take a look at these sleek cobots.

Send us a text We've all done it... bought a product that didn't meet our expectations. Were we sold a bill of goods, or did we hear what we wanted to hear? That has been the case with many industrial IoT systems, which doesn't sit well with Brandon. Because the only reason to have an IoT system is to make educated business decisions. If you're confused by all the marketing terms surrounding industrial IoT, you're not alone. Is data funnel, data translation, or remote connect really industrial IoT? What the heck is AIoT? Brandon clarifies these terms and goes on a BrandRant about how industrial IoT products are marketed. He then provides requirements for a true edge-based MES Gateway Appliance. Before we delve into the requirements of an edge-based MES Gateway Appliance, we need to have an understanding of what "the edge" is. What defines "the edge?" Brandon provides his perspective and then his requirements for a true edge-based MES Gateway appliance. A true edge-based MES Gateway appliance must: Be reliable Communicate natively Perform data manipulation and dissemination Have data storage capabilities We explore each of these necessary conditions, why it's a requirement, and how it's beneficial.

Send us a text We 💙 automation, but you can't take the human element out of it. The quality of any automated system at the plant floor level is usually made evident through the design of the human machine interface or HMI. HMIs provide a means for the machine and the human to interact - to converse. It is the very conduit by which a human can influence the machine. These systems range from hardware-based touchscreens to fully capable supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) which are largely software-based. Join us as we dive into the various features and benefits across the multiple offerings of both hardware and software-based HMI systems (OT based) and discuss when and where one may utilize a larger-scale SCADA system. Our special guest for this episode is Alan Cone . Alan is the Marketing SIMATIC WinCC Manager at Siemens. Alan provides an overview of the HMI options in the Siemens portfolio and describes the capabilities of each. Alan clarifies how a software-based HMI or soft HMI differs from the SCADA-based systems. He then illustrates the primary advantages of SCADA systems and the industries he typically sees them utilized. Stay tuned to hear about some real-world Use Cases that you can implement in your facility that can help reduce your downtime. Don't forget Brandon's Robot🤖 Challenge!

Joining us in this episode are three guests from Siemens Drives Group to explain Siemens Drives technology from an interstellar perspective down to the local level, so it doesn't have to be painful. Our first guest is Rudy Hauser , the Programs and Promotions Manager at Siemens. Rudy provides a 300,000 ft. view of Siemens Drives from SINAMICS, SIMOTIS, Totally Integrated Automation, and Digital Twins to the innovative solutions that are here today -- Siemens Xcelerator. As Rudy said, "These are exciting times!" Bringing a Channel Partner perspective is Andrew Miller , a Partner Manager at Siemens. Andrew brings it down to a National level and shares how Siemens selects their partners, the benefits of having a local presence, and the benefits to the local manufacturers. "It's a win-win-win" according to Andrew, and we concur! Matt Wagner is a Drives & Motion Consultant for Siemens. Matt shares a more granular, local perspective of Siemens Drives from a millennial point of view. We find out what ELDP is. Matt walks us through some of the cool new products that are rolling out. "Where you're seeing a lot more of the innovation is on the Usability," said Matt. Brandon wholeheartedly agrees!

Send us a text Are we getting ready to undergo a new Industrial Revolution or are we already in it? There are many definitions of Industry 5.0. Is it combining human creative and critical thinking with the speed and skill of automation? Is it prioritizing "the wellbeing of the worker?" Is it a wasteless world? Or, is Industry 5.0 a combination of these? For someone whose been in industrial automation for 25+ years, what is Brandon's perspective of Industry 5.0? To lay the groundwork, Brandon explains the four Industrial Revolutions, and how the technologies resulting from each Industrial Revolution impacted the next. What's Brandon's concept of Industry 5.0? What would be the benefits of Industry 5.0? What are the concerns of Industry 5.0? How do we solve the scariness of letting the machines do the decision making? What is the endgame of Industry 5.0 according to Brandon's muddied crystal ball? Here's a link to the episode where we talked about Risk Assessments . Wherever you are in your automation journey, elliTek will meet you there! Reach out with any questions or future topics.
