Welcome to the Industrial Wearable Revolution

While wearable technologies struggle to get footing in the consumer market, the devices are already stirring a full-on technological revolution behind the factory walls.

Author(s): Travis Hessman

Sep. 17, 2015

In the consumer world, we generally think of wearables as something new and exciting—a piece of sci-fi futurism just starting to come to life. It's something to watch, something that could one day be the next be thing.

However, a new report suggests that the wearable revolution is already well underway in the industrial sector. 

According to the report, "State of Enterprise Wearables," a whopping 93% of the large industrial companies surveyed in the study indicated that they are already either evaluating or using some kind of wearable device today. 

That kind of ubiquitous support and interest is unprecedented, especially for such a nascent industry. 

APX Labs

"We are experiencing an invisible revolution," says Brian Ballard, CEO and co-founder of APX Labs – the Virginia-based wearable software provider that commissioned the study.

While the consumer world is just now beginning to embrace wearables in our everyday lives, he explains, in the manufacturing world these smart watches and glasses, these wearable scanners and cameras are already being deployed at a furious rate. 

"Almost all of this is happening underneath the factory floor—it's happening out in field service companies," he says. "It's not something you just pick up at Best Buy; it's work first." 

Consumer vs Industry

The main difference between these two markets, it seems, is basic utility. Out in the consumer world, Google Glasses and Apple Watches are basically just nifty gadgets that help us stay connected. But on the plant floor, they can be powerful manufacturing tools. 

Of the 201 companies surveyed for the APX Labs report, 90% said they believe wearables will provide "significant benefits in reducing time, effort, and re-work while also improving quality, safety, and process flexibility."

Backing that up, the report also highlights a Gartner Research study that estimates that smart glasses will yield $1 billion in annual cost savings in the field service industry alone. 

So in this realm, these are hardly just nifty gadgets.

APX Labs

Another big different, Ballard notes, is that, under the factory roof, smart technologies and big data communication is already decades ahead of the outside world.

"The Internet of Things is 20 years old inside industry; it's already well established," he says.

Already today, he explains, factories are equipped with smart machines and communication protocols that offer high data rates communicating over low-cost, hi-fidelity Wi-Fi systems. Companies have already dug deep into big data and big analytics to increase efficiency and intelligence.

"The piece of the equation that has been missing is, once you have machines connected to analytics, how do you move forward into it?" Ballard argues. "Wearable technology is the interface into the connected Internet of Things—it is the most accessible, natural interface that we have today."

Wearable Barriers

This is not to say that dropping wearables into an industrial environment is without complication, though.

APX Labs

Generally, two issues are at the top of the barrier list: Cost and Security.

According to the report, nearly 70% of large companies (5,001+ employees) highlighted security as their top concern. That's not surprising, given the mature – and often complicated – cyber security measures these companies have in place.

The cost issue – again, not surprisingly – was the top concern for mid-sized companies (1,001-5,000 employees) for whom wide deployment of $1,000 glasses of $500 watches can wipe out a big chunk of the budget.

However, the biggest concern not mentioned in the report – but mentioned often among manufacturers – is the fear of so-called "distracted manufacturing."

For many, the idea of setting workers out in a plant filled with heavy equipment, moving machines, and a million hazards with a screen stuck to their faces defies their basic notion of industrial safety.

Ballard, however, is not so concerned.

"We definitely get that quite a bit," he says. "Depending on the customer, there might be a couple of ways to address it."

First, he says, if this is a hard and fast requirement in a factory, companies can simply be sure that the screen is not on while workers are moving. Simple enough.

The other point, he notes, is that "distracted manufacturing" might be a far greater fear than it should be.

"Just think about the amount of activities that people do a day in which their peripheral vision is blocked but they are still able to navigate safely. When you're driving, you're in a car that blocks, frankly, the majority of your peripheral vision," he says. "You still have instrumentation up, your speedometer, your odometer. These are critical tools to your job and they are always a glance away.

"Maybe one way to think of it is smart glasses might be the odometer for your job."

Furthermore, he argues, this concern might be ignoring our natural ability to adapt to these distractions.

"I've played a lot of sports in high school and college that required me to wear a helmet that blocked a good portion of my vision, but I could still play that position incredibly well," he says. "Your body learns to adapt to the equipment that you're wearing."

"And think about fighter pilots," he adds. "They are wearing heads up displays going past the speed of sound in multimillion dollar machines and they have been doing it for over 30 years."

What's Next?

While this report shows a strong movement already underway in the industrial wearable market, there remains a big wave of adoption still waiting to come through. 

"We have 93% penetration in brands using wearables, but we aren't at 93% of user population within these companies yet," Ballard says.

While today actual users wearing these device in the factory or in the field are still a rather small minority, the report indicates that, on average, respondents expect to deploy them to about 45% of their employee base.




"The fact that there are so many companies that have recognized this as an opportunity to connect and entire cross-section of the workforce is fantastic," Ballard says. "But there is still a lot of growth to come."

Increasing Production Uptime and Throughput in Packaging Applications

Author(s): Chris Graff, VP of Sales/Marketing at Butler Automatic Sep. 04, 2015

Downtime, both planned and unplanned, can have pronounced impact on packing line efficiency and throughput. This downtime, caused by film roll changes, registration errors, catastrophic film failures, bottlenecks, and more, is costly, and may seem impossible to avoid. Taking appropriate steps to streamline processes wherever possible can help to mitigate the repercussions of downtime, improving your overall line efficiency and therefore profitability.

Common Causes of Downtime in Packaging Lines

The single greatest cause of downtime in packaging lines according to line efficiency studies is the time it takes to change over rolls of packaging film as they expire. Operators often estimate that each packaging web roll changeover and splice to the previous roll takes about 1-2 minutes, which is itself a great deal of time when the number of roll changes per day are accounted for. These estimates are quite low, however; measured downtime runs closer to an average of 3-5 minutes per roll change. If, in a conservative estimate, a company continuously running a single packaging line must change film rolls ten times per day, the line loses an average of at least 30 minutes of production per day, or more than 8,000 minutes each year. Taking into account a similarly conservative estimate of 80 packages per minute and a $0.50 profit per item, the decreased throughput accounts for hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential profits lost per year.

Other causes of downtime in packaging lines also relate to film splicing. Improperly spliced film, for example, can lead to weak splices and splice failure during production. When the splice separates, or a weak spot in the film itself causes it to fail, the line must be shut down until the web path is rethreaded. This can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour in most applications, or two hours or more in aseptic applications where operators must re-sterilize machinery before restarting the line. Most packaging lines experience these kinds of critical failures about once every week.

Poor splices can also lead to registration errors in the film, where the film is improperly aligned and defective packages result. The registration error may result in barcoding issues, faulty seals, and/or package aesthetics that are simply unacceptable for consumer goods. These errors don’t cause downtime, but they can cause a great deal of waste and rework, thereby significantly decreasing line throughput and efficiency.

Bottlenecks are the final main cause of line downtime and inefficiency to be highlighted here. Bottlenecks represent a significant loss of potential throughput, given that the throughput of a packaging line is only maximized when there are no slow spots in the line that have to be compensated for by slowing or stopping the upstream parts of the line. If one stage of a packaging line can handle 1000 packages per minute, but the following stage can only handle 800, packages will accumulate between the two until the maximum accumulation is reached, at which point the first stage will have to be stopped or slowed until the excess packages are processed. Maximized throughput is critical to line efficiency and to maximizing profits, and so identifying and reducing bottlenecks are critical as well.

Key Techniques for Increasing Efficiency

For packaging line operators and managers looking to increase line efficiency and throughput by minimizing downtime, gathering accurate information 

Zero-speed automatic splicers, invented by Butler Automatic, are relatively small capital investments that lead to increased line efficiency and profitability.

about their packaging line is the first step. By committing to the measurement of the numerical performance of the line, operators can fully analyze the performance of the line and note where improvements can occur. Measuring and tracking performance can on its own help to improve performance, especially when people on the factory floor are engaged in the process. Employees who are encouraged to benchmark and objectively analyze their performance, as well as that of the line, become energized to find ways to create efficiencies. In this way, a culture of measuring and gauging emerges, to the benefit of the entire operation.

Measurement is also the best way to find efficiencies where bottlenecks are concerned. With accurate data about processing speeds at each stage and accumulation point sizes, plant operators can determine where bottlenecks occur, and how strategic changes or investments can reduce these bottlenecks and increase throughput.

Beyond measuring, specific changes to manufacturing practices can create efficiencies and increase throughput. Given that three major causes of downtime in packaging lines relate to film splicing, it is clear that utilizing a system that more efficiently carries out high-quality, accurate splices will significantly reduce downtime and increase profitability. Automatic splicing technology, invented by Butler Automatic and in use around the world, addresses these concerns and significantly reduces downtime. With this technology, the amount of time it takes to make a splice is greatly reduced and the accuracy of that splice is improved. Most importantly, however, the machines store a length of packaging film to use during the execution of the splice, so the production line runs continuously during splicing. 

The above example of potential profits lost due to roll change downtime is no longer relevant when roll change downtime is eliminated, and those potential profits can be realized. Catastrophic film failures become much less likely when automatic splicing is used due to the greater accuracy and quality of splices, as do registration errors. In addition, the reduced time spent on each splice often means that fewer operators can manage the task, thereby reducing labor costs. Film waste and the associated cost of lost packages on each roll is also reduced, as the machines are able to automatically sense the expiring roll, which leads to splices far closer to the end of the roll.

Impacts of Efficient Operation

By increasing productivity and efficiency with these above techniques, plant operators are increasing the profitability of the business. When line efficiency is maximized, each package is able to absorb more of the plant overhead. The existing capital structure can be utilized to fulfill more customer orders at what is ultimately a lower unit cost. Relatively small but highly strategic capital investments, such as automatic splicing machines or machinery to eliminate a single bottleneck point in the line, can be returned quickly and ultimately lead to even greater line profitability. 

Beautiful Hadith is about Isha and Fajr Prayers

Abu Hurairah RA reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "No Salat is more burdensome to the hypocrites than the Fajr (dawn) prayer and the 'Isha' (night) prayer; and if they knew their merits, they would come to them even if they had to crawl to do so." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Beautiful Hadith is about Anger

Abu Hurairah RA reported: Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)said, "The strong man is not the one who wrestles, but the strong man is in fact the one who controls himself in a fit of rage." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Beautiful Hadith is about Surah Al Ikhlas

Anas RA reported: A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! I love Surat-Al-Ikhlas [Say: He is Allah, (the) One]." He (peace be upon him) said, "Your love for it will admit you to Jannah." (Tirmidhi)

Beautiful Hadith is about Backbiting

Anas RA said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "During the Mi'raj (the Night of Ascension), I saw a group of people who were scratching their chests and faces with their copper nails. I asked, 'Who are these people, O Jibril?' Jibril replied: 'These are the people who ate flesh of others (by backbiting) and trampled people's honour."' (Abu Dawud)

Beautiful Hadith is about Transactions

Hakim bin Hizam RA reported that: Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Both parties in a business transaction have a right to annul it so long as they have not separated; and if they tell the truth and make everything clear to each other (i.e., the seller and the buyer speak the truth, the seller with regard to what is purchased, and the buyer with regard to the money) they will be blessed in their transaction, but if they conceal anything and lie, the blessing on their transaction will be eliminated." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Beautiful Hadith is about Abusing One Another

Abu Hurairah RA said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "When two persons indulge in abusing each other, the beginner will be the sinner so long as the oppressed does not transgress the limits." (Muslim)

Meet Sawyer: The New Face of Industrial Automation

Rethink Robotics' new smart, collaborative robot aims to bring automation where it has never gone before.

Author(s): Travis Hessman

                  

When Rethink Robotics released its two-armed,friendly-facedBaxter robot in 2012, it defined a new era of industrial robotics. Slow-moving, software-based, and interactive, Baxter opened the door for collaborative robotics, allowing small and mid-sized manufacturers to bring automation side-by-side with human workers on the factory floor often for the first time.

Today, the company has given that platform a major upgrade.

This morning, Rethink Robotics unveiled Sawyer, a single-arm, high-performance robot designed for machine tending, circuit board testing and other precise tasks that have historically been impractical to automate with traditional industrial robots.

"With Baxter, we introduced the concept of robots and people working together on the plant floor," said Rethink Robotics president and CEO Scott Eckert. "With Sawyer, we have taken that relationship to the next level, with a high performance robot that opens the door for many new applications that have never been good candidates for automation. As we continue to redefine this industry, we also continue to give manufacturers new ways of adding efficiency and flexibility into their operations."

The robot offers the same highly-touted safety, compliance and usability advantages of Baxter – including the iconic "face" screen, embedded sensors and train-by-demonstration user interface – while providing the smaller footprint and high precision performance needed for tasks that require significant agility and flexibility.

The system runs on the Intera software system, the same extensible platform that powers Baxter, enabling it to dynamically adapts to real-world conditions on the plant floor and integrate seamlessly into existing work cells.

Together, Rethink Robotics estimate that Baxter and Sawyer can address 90% of manufacturing tasks that could otherwise not be feasibly automated with traditional solutions.

Weighing 42 lbs, Sawyer features an 8.8 lb payload, with 7 degrees of freedom and a 1-meter reach that can maneuver into the tight spaces and varied alignments of work cells designed for humans.

Its high-resolution force sensing, embedded at each joint, enables Rethink Robotics' compliant motion control, which allows the robot to "feel" its way into fixtures or machines, even when parts or positions vary. This enables an adaptive precision that is unique to the robotics industry and allows Sawyer to work effectively in semi-structured environments.

Sawyer also features an embedded vision system, which includes a camera in its head to perform applications requiring a wide field of view and a Cognex camera with a built-in light source in its wrist for precision vision applications. Sawyer's vision system enables the Robot Positioning System for dynamic re-orientation, and over time will support more advanced features that are inherent to the Cognex system, such as barcode scanning and object recognition.

Sawyer at Work

Jabil, a global electronic product solutions company that is partnering with Rethink Robotics as an early adopter and field tester of Sawyer, recognizes the robot's immense potential.

"Flexible automation that addresses shrinking product lifecycles and helps companies align with consumer trends is a critical technology initiative for manufacturers," said John Dulchinos, vice president of digital manufacturing at Jabil. "Rethink Robotics continues to lead the way in defining how workers and machines can coexist to leverage the strengths of each, and optimize productivity for all."

Dan Kara, robotics practice director at ABI Research, also sees the value of Sawyer for the robotics industry and its customers.

"With the introduction of Baxter, Rethink fundamentally changed the conversation in the robotics industry and pioneered a new way of thinking about automation. Today, the collaborative concept has been accepted, the value has been proven, and more companies are looking to standardize globally on these solutions," he said. "Sawyer incorporates advanced technology from the Baxter platform, but is different in other fundamental aspects, making it suitable for wholly new classes of applications. Rethink's Sawyer is a very compelling technology that has the potential to once again change the way manufacturers think about their automation infrastructure moving forward."

Sawyer, which will retail for a base price of $29,000, will initially be available in North America, Europe, China and Japan. It is currently being field tested by several large manufacturing companies in those regions. Sawyer will be released with limited availability in the summer of 2015, with general customer availability targeted for later in the year.

Beautiful Hadith is about Signs of Disbelief

Abu Hurairah RA said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Two matters are signs of disbelief on the part of those who indulge in them: Defaming and speaking evil of a person's lineage, and wailing over the dead." (Muslim)
