Karakuri & worker assistance: The perfect combination of mechanics and digital steering

In today's newsletter we will continue the topic of Karakuri - the second part will focus on the connection between low-cost automation and digital worker assistance. Thanks to integrated sensors, our ELAM software directly controls and monitors the mechanical processes - without any PLC. Find out how this combination optimizes your production in the long term.

1. Seamless process integration

  • Karakuri: Takes on practical tasks such as transporting components and supporting ergonomically optimized work processes.
  • ELAM: Guides through assembly processes, documents every step and controls the peripherals directly – without any PLC. This reduces costs and simplifies processes.

2. Sensors and actuators: interfaces without PLC

  • ELAM enables the direct connection of sensors and actuators to the workstation computer, eliminating the need for PLCs.
  • Sensors detect movements, loads or positions, while actuators such as clamping cylinders or pick-to-light systems are seamlessly integrated.
  • Galvanically isolated interfaces ensure a robust and cost-effective implementation.

3. Ergonomics, Efficiency and Future

  • Mechanics: Low Cost Automation relieves employees through intelligent, ergonomic designs.
  • Digital: ELAM provides interactive visualizations and work instructions, reduces errors and shortens training times.
  • Future prospects: New materials and self-optimizing systems enable predictive maintenance and flexible, modular production processes.

The symbiosis of Karakuri and digital assistance via ELAM shows how low-cost automation combines traditional mechanics with modern control technology - without any PLC. This creates cost-efficient, flexible and future-oriented manufacturing processes.
