"How does a mobile robot navigate a facility without a pre-set path?"

Timmy Phan, Robotics Consultant, breaks it down: the robot builds a live virtual map using Lidar, 3D cameras, and onboard computing, then localizes itself against that map in real time, adjusting around obstacles as it goes. No fixed route. No guesswork.

This is the kind of question our team answers every day. Watch the quick breakdown in the video!

Which framing problem sounds like yours?

Your parts don't match how you track them. Your design ignores the hardware you already have on the shelf. Or nobody on your team has tackled a build this size before. Sound familiar?

These 3 bottlenecks are far too common for engineers managing custom builds:
MISMATCHED TAGGING — Manually cross-referencing part numbers every time you reorder because your system and your supplier's catalog were never built to talk to each other.
IGNORED EXISTING STOCK — Every new build means new specialty hardware, new vendors, and more stock to manage, because the design was never checked against what's already on your shelves.
NO INTERNAL PRECEDENT — A big or unusual build feels intimidating when there's no existing design to lean on and standard solutions don't fit.

Cobots, hands-on demos, and a whole lot of "wait, it can do THAT?" moments. 🤖 We joined FANUC America's Collaborative Robot Workshop in Mason, OH and parked our AFS Mobile Exhibit outside, giving attendees an up-close look at a CRX cobot in action as well other new automation technology. Great crowd, great conversations, and a great day for automation.

Modular by design, built for whatever you throw at it. Kody Nelson, 80/20 Product Manager, breaks down why 80/20 T-slot aluminum framing is an engineer’s go-to for fixtures and structures.

With wire & cable orders, your quoted lead time isn't the only option. Delays aren't going away as an industry challenge, but they don't have to dictate your production schedule either. The difference between a stalled project and a finished one often comes down to whether your supplier is simply quoting a lead time or actively working to beat it.

These 2 industry challenges are far too common:

AUTOMATED TEST EQUIPMENT - 15-week lead time on a custom cable, threatening the production schedule.

CONTRACT MANUFACTURING - Supplier missed the delivery date with no backup plan in place.
