The latest technology outlook from ProgressiveAutomations.com, one of the top manufactures and distributors of linear actuators and linear motion control products worldwide, claims automation is changing the modern world for the better.
What does this mean for the steel tube and pipe industry? Essentially, it means automating reliability through robotics. “Human operated giant robots have long been many people’s fantasy. It is the subject of many science fiction movies and video games. With the help of recent advancements in automation technology, Hankook Mirae Technology in Seoul was able to build and test a fully functional giant manned robot. The application of this technology can be far reaching: from construction, scientific exploration and even military.”
While giant manned robots are exciting, “Perhaps automation’s most significant contribution to the world has been the advance in robotics. As computer AI improves, humans start to develop machines that can replicate human actions. The applications for robotics are so wide in scope; it literally can be applied to almost every industry imaginable. Currently, robotics has already changed many industries, and it will only grow to be a bigger part of our life in the future.”
When it comes to coding and marking on steel tubes and pipes, robotics are not in the distant future. They are already here at REA SYSTEMS. We use SMARKTEC technology and robotics to provide printing reliability and total traceability. Our complete track and trace solutions ensure automatic traceability throughout the entire production process, from start to the final product. This quality assurance, combined with high resolution coding and marking, guarantees legibility and readability with every mark.
REA SYSTEMS is a subset of REA JET, a global leader in coding and marking for the steel tube and pipe industry. For more information about the entire line of REA JET technology, please visit reajetus.com.
