The partnership between Comau Robotics and B&R Industrial Automation is opening up a new opportunities for robotic integration for machinery and production lines.  The companies have created openROBOTICS, a solution based on a full lineup of Comau robots that handle payloads ranging from 3 to 650 kg. "With completely uniform programming for every component in the line – including the robotics – our customers around the world gain the full benefit of holistic approaches to operation, diagnostics and maintenance," says Tobias Daniel, head of sales and marketing at Comau Robotics. Traditionally, robotics and machinery have always relied on separate controllers or gateways.
