Industrial Robot in Motion

Caption

By minimizing the acceleration of industrial robots, and optimizing the sequence of multiple robots, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 40 percent. In robot-intensive manufacturing industries, such as bodywork factories in the automotive industry, robots consume about half of the total energy used for production, which means optimization could lead to potentially significant savings.
