Second edition of guide to robotics and automation released

Distrelec has released the second part of its Robotics and Automation Guide. This three-part eBook, written by Distrelec executives and industry experts, provides valuable insights to assist engineers in automating manufacturing processes and workflows.

The first part, released earlier this year, featured a brief history of robotics and information about robot types, applications, industry 5.0 and cobots. The second part announced today looks beyond manufacturing, exploring sectors that can benefit from smart automation, like agriculture. It also provides valuable input to overcome financial obstacles to automation.

“Our Robotics and Automation guide was written with today’s factory engineers firmly in mind,” said Justyna Matuszak, editor in chief. “Improving production efficiencies and sustainable manufacturing are some of the greatest challenges of our time. You’ll be able to discover in our guide how robotics is a key part of the industrial revolution through network connectivity and how robots can be embedded into certain workflows and ecosystems to simplify the process and increase efficiency.”

The second edition of this guide and the first part can now be viewed free of charge on the company's ’KnowHow’ platform.
