Manufacturing environments in automotive, medical device, electronics, aerospace, and product security industries require rugged, high performing, and easy to use barcode reading technology to ensure top component traceability and productivity. DataMan 8700 series handheld barcode readers decode the toughest direct part mark (DPM) and label-based codes while withstanding harsh oils, dirt, and water. A built-in display screen enables quick setup and operator feedback, and the readers support a broad range of industrial protocols and communications to connect and operate efficiently in any facility.

Symbio’s fastening solution uses machine learning to independently optimize process steps and reduce cycle time requirements. Whereas other fastening solutions use open-loop control to direct robots to static location points, Symbio creates more robust systems in which robots use force-torque sensors to adapt to variances in real-time, and problem solve. The Symbio system further minimizes cycle time by learning the optimum operational parameters over multiple repetitions. This results in a more robust, flexible, and efficient solution.
