SUMMARY:Robots Born to See: Integrated Machine Vision used to Guide Robots in Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Vision guided robots have many advantages including reduced integration cost and improved flexibility.  Vision allows the robot to see the workpiece and make decisions based on what it sees.  In this webinar\, Josh Person with FANUC\, will go over some of the highlights of using machine vision with robots in an automated workcell.   Josh will review some of these questions: \n\nWhat are some advantages of machine vision in an automated workcell?\nWhat is the difference between 2D and 3D vision applications?\nWhen should the applicator use a camera mounted to the robot end of arm tooling and when should the camera be fixed in place off the robot?\nWhat is the difference between integrated robotic vision and smart cameras?\nWhat is the difference between guiding the robot to the part\, part inspection\, or error proofing?

SUMMARY:Digital Twins and the Impact on Small and Medium Manufacturers
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Michael Grieves as he discusses how Digital Twins (DTs) are impacting engineering and manufacturing in a dramatic way by moving work from the physical world into the virtual world. Product companies are moving from physical plans\, 2D build-to-print blueprints\, physical prototypes\, paper quality control documents accompanying shipments to 3D build to digital models\, digital mock-up units (DMUs)\, and data-based DT Instances transmitted on a continuous basis. This will require both technology and culture changes. SMMs will need to adopt DT capabilities or perish. \nRegister Here
