Innovations in dual-lane manufacturing boost throughput and flexibility.

Industrial robots demonstrate productivity-boosting solutions to common manufacturing challenges.

Yamaha’s regional distributor for southern Africa sets high standards for service and delivery.

Laborious manual procedures associated with tasks such as product changeovers can slow down surface-mount assembly and prolong line stoppages. A combination of advanced automation and features that enhance efficiency and flexibility can significantly increase productivity by minimising human intervention.

Batteries are to have a central role in the future of sustainable energy and mobility. Affordable, high-quality lithium battery packs are needed in diverse kWh ratings to power vehicles ranging from eBikes, drones, and small city cars, to large electric vehicles (EVs), trucks and buses. On the other hand, large, container-sized battery arrays are needed as energy storage for home, commercial, and utility-grade applications to bring stability to tomorrow’s green-powered grids.

Today’s end of line AOI systems can detect almost all visible defects on surface-mount assemblies passing through. But there is always pressure to keep improving.
