The Challenge:  In 2011, China’s Guangzhou Light Industry Vocational School launched a robotics major, requiring a complete robotics teaching system, including the introduction of robotics equipment, textbooks, and academic staff to teach the course.  The Solution:  ABB Robotics has provided the school with a complete set of teaching aids and teacher training, plus a range of ABB robots and

A manufacturer of cardboard trays has cut staff time needed for machine tending while ensuring employees face reduced risk of injuries

Students in Austria are learning the latest robot programming techniques at an advanced robotics lab in Wiener Neustadt. Developing applications to solve puzzles, detect coffee capsules and recognize human faces, the students are getting a good grounding in many of the technologies and techniques they will use in their future careers.

At UAS Technikum Wien in Vienna, students are using the latest Augmented Reality technology to see how robots move and interact with the world around them

ABB’s RobotStudio offline programming and simulation software has earned a reputation as a leading tool enabling companies across a range of sectors to plan and execute robotic installations. For students at Austria’s UAS Technikum Wien, the software also played a valuable alternative to classroom-based teaching during lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Belgium’s largest pork producer has installed ABB robots as part of a Just-in-Time order fulfilment system that delivers customized products to supermarkets more quickly.

Automotive giant Volvo is finding that robotic cell design can be as easy as picking up the phone thanks to ABB’s RobotStudio® Augmented Reality viewer, which has been added to ABB’s powerful PC-based RobotStudio offline programming software. The smartphone app uses Augmented Reality (AR) technology to overlay model designs created in RobotStudio into a real-life production environment, allowing

A food and snacks packing plant in Vietnam is using ABB GoFa™ cobot to maximize production while protecting staff and staying competitive.

An ABB robot is playing a key role in an educational project to find new ways of minimizing the environmental impact of manufactured goods once they reach the end of their life. As part of an academic study into the potential for automated disassembly, the robot is helping to demonstrate a new concept that could transform the way that future products are designed, made, and recycled.

Schools and higher education institutes in Italy have introduced new courses to their curriculum to help train young engineers in the key principles and operation of robotics and cobots. Developed in collaboration with ABB, the courses have been developed in response to a call from the Italian government for more STEM teaching, and to help prepare students from 16 to 18 years old for the world of
