Regional production in the car industry

The automotive industry is changing. New technologies such as electromobility and hydrogen drives are shaping the industry, while global crises, increasing sustainability requirements and the complexity of global supply chains are creating new challenges. One promising approach to managing these changes is the "local for local" principle.

End-of-arm tooling (EOAT) in robotics

Automation technology and robotics are becoming increasingly important in modern industry. A crucial component that makes robots or handling systems so flexible and efficient is end-of-arm tooling (EOAT). But what is EOAT, what functions does it perform and what are the latest innovations? This article provides a comprehensive overview of the role of end effectors in robotics as well as the different types and current trends and innovations.

Production with maximum OEE

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a relative figure in production. It enables companies to obtain a comprehensive view and compare their productivity, production efficiency and throughput. But what makes this figure so important?

How end-of-arm tooling improves OEE

Maximum efficiency, the highest level of quality and the greatest possible flexibility at the same time:these are three of the biggest challenges in the automotive industry. End-of-arm tooling (EOAT), which is specially tailored to the requirements of modern production systems in body shops and press shops, plays a key role here.
