Discover robots and automation
in Industry 4.0 şi 5.0
The fourth generation Industry is already in use for more 20 years and, beside those three predecessor which emphasized for energy efficiency, in Industry 4.0 digitization and communication means direction in which automation and robots converge together, resulting control systems at the highest performance level.
A patra generaţie industrială se utilizează deja de mai bine de 20 de ani şi, alături de primele trei predecesoare care pun accentul pe eficienţa energetică, în Industria 4.0 digitalizarea şi comunicarea sunt direcţiile în care automatizările și roboţii converg împreună, rezultând sisteme de control de cea mai înaltă performanţă.
Difference between robots and automation
At first view, besides of classic industrial automation with PLC, robots are also a form of automation. This is true in terms of purpose: performing task automatically.
The second criterion, however, is the way the task is performed. Robot are comprised of manipulator (body) and control unit specialized in mathematical computing of movement matrix and final trajectory of robot arm, but robot manufacturers design own programming language.
Instead, PLCs, regardless of the manufacturers have developed internationally recognized programming language according to the IEC 61131-3 standard, which represents the control unit of any automation.
While robots are optimized for movements, PLCs are specialized in the acquisition of signals and numerical calculations, integrating with any actuators.
Do you want to configure your own solution based on your requirements? It's simple.
Just select type of automation and specify a few of basic information, then all steps are easy.
