Karakuri & Operator Assistance: The perfect blend of mechanical and digital control
1. Seamless Process Integration
Karakuri: Handles practical tasks such as component transport and supports ergonomically optimized workflows.
ELAM: Guides through assembly processes, documents each step, and directly controls peripherals. This reduces costs and simplifies operations.
2. Sensors and Actuators: Interfaces without PLCs
ELAMenables 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 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.
Outlook: New materials and self-optimizing systems enable predictive maintenance and flexible, modular production processes.
The symbiosis of Karakuri and digital assistance via ELAM demonstrates how Low Cost Automation combines traditional mechanics with modern control technology – entirely without PLCs. This creates cost-efficient, flexible, and future-oriented manufacturing processes.

In many productions, incoming goods, intralogistics, assembly and shipping are still organized as separate islands. The ELAM production system links these areas into an integrated worker assistance system — with uniform digital work instructions and a consistent flow of data from ERP to the individual workplace.
Anyone establishing digital processes on the shop floor today will sooner or later face the central question: "Can I really run my production data in the cloud?"
