Robot Arms.....the future, now




Since I have been extremely busy over the past few weeks, I didn´t have nether the time nor the peace to find an interesting topic to write about and draw up the next post, for that I apologize and even though I can promise I will be updating this blog more often, I can assure you I will try hard not to let it sink into my many duties.


Going into the matter, today´s post will show you how robot arms are made, but also how they are used in everyday life, using a supply chain based example, the BMW assemble line.


Robot´s precision can´t be compared to human´s and since its introduction in factories, productivity has soar at the same rate cost production has plummet making them essential in any modern factory nowadays.


Without more introductions, enjoy these two videos!
 
The first one shows how robot arms are made, and in the second one, we will get to see an example of how they work at the BMW assemble line. 








As a bonus, watch out the next video, another astonishing example on how robot arms are today what we thought we would see in the future.
