"ChatGPT in the industry" - Part 3
This part of the article series "ChatGPT in industry" focuses on how the technology of Large Language Models (LLM) is finding its way into industrial products and services in the form of intelligent assistants.
The most-read articles in April demonstrate the innovative strength of the automation industry and its ability to adapt new technologies.
Many processes can be automated and optimized with AMR. At the same time, they bring new challenges in terms of security. How can AMR improve physical security standards in the industry and at the same time increase resilience to cyber attacks?
BlueBotics has released a new version of the 'ANT Server Fleet Management' software: it can now control not only the 'ANT driven' customer vehicles on the market, but also VDA 5050 compliant AGVs and AMRs.
RobCo has released the latest version of its easy-to-use programming interface 'RobFlow 5'. Based on the 'RobCo Studio' software platform, companies can configure, implement and manage robots in use via a digital twin.
Wibu-Systems and Flecs Technologies have agreed to work together. Together, they want to simplify the procurement and purchasing process for industrial apps and enable simple and secure licensing of apps.

With the 'Melfa RV-12CRL', Mitsubishi Electric has launched a vertical articulated robot with a reach of 1,504 mm and a payload of 12 kg. Integrated functions simplify commissioning and increase safety.
The robot-guided depalletizing systems for small load carriers (SLC) from Polyplan enable the automated unloading of pallets - even with a large variety of SLC types - as well as the precise positioning of the removed crates on storage locations or conveyor systems.
Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) launches the 'MiR1200 Pallet Jack'. The autonomous mobile robot (AMR) relies on pallet recognition based on artificial intelligence powered by the Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin module.
Conventional mobile robotic systems on the market start at around 25,000 euros, with an integrated robotic arm they are around 70,000 euros. Due to the high prices, widespread use is often unaffordable for small and medium-sized companies. Igus wants to change this.
A user-friendly cobot application for small and medium-sized companies that can be used without programming - a team of researchers from Belgium received the Kuka Innovation Award 2024 for this concept.
Humanoid robots are leaving the laboratory and moving into the production halls of large industrial companies, according to the Horváth market analysis 'Humanoid Robots in Operations'.
The top news on day 5: Trade fair as "driving force of the upswing" +++ Kuka Innovation Award +++ Virtual twin sets new standards +++ Engineer Woman Award presented +++ Leading-edge cluster it's OWL for sustainable products +++ Premiere of the Delta Cobot +++ Nexcobot TÜV-certified
Linux-based automation systems, including PLCs, industrial PCs and IoT devices, are currently leading to the consolidation and opening up of systems. However, opening up only on a device basis is only half the battle.
An evolutionary development every year, a revolutionary leap every five to seven years - this is how Beckhoff aims to secure its technological leadership. At the press conference, the company from Verl also presented some technological highlights.
