Tel-Aviv, August 18, 2024 – Tech&Art is proud to announce its latest technological achievement, showcased at recent industry exhibitions. Leveraging PLCnext technology from Phoenix Contact Group, Tech&Art has redefined the interaction between collaborative robots and machinery, highlighting the simplicity and efficiency of its new solutions.
At these exhibitions, Tech&Art demonstrated how its cutting-edge setup seamlessly integrates collaborative robots with various machinery, all controllable through a user-friendly smartphone interface. This innovation exemplifies the ease with which synchronization and communication between complex components can be achieved.
The driving force behind this impressive setup is PLCnext technology, an open automation platform renowned for its integration of traditional PLC capabilities with high-level programming languages, IoT applications, and cloud connectivity. Designed to address the demands of modern industrial automation, PLCnext provides a flexible, scalable, and versatile solution for controlling sophisticated systems.
Through the PLCnext integrated web HMI, users can monitor real-time status updates, manage algorithm progress, and assign tasks directly from their smartphones. This capability stands in contrast to traditional methods where a direct robot-machine integration without an additional PLC might suffice for simpler applications. As operational complexity and safety requirements grow, PLCnext emerges as the central orchestrator, enhancing both efficiency and productivity within robotic systems.
Marina Fliamer, Founder of Tech&Art, emphasizes the transformative impact of PLCnext technology: “PLCnext plays a pivotal role in advancing the safety and smart capabilities of robotic systems. It enables comprehensive safety protocols, real-time decision-making, and seamless integration into Industry 4.0 ecosystems. This technology not only supports various communication protocols but also facilitates predictive maintenance and efficient data management.”
Marina foresees a growing application of PLCnext technology across various domains, including industry, education, art, smart cities, and smart factories. “By clearly delineating responsibilities among the machine’s PLC, the cobot’s controller, and itself, PLCnext ensures that our systems operate at peak efficiency and remain adaptable to future advancements.”
Tech&Art’s recent demonstrations underscore the company’s commitment to advancing collaborative automation and showcasing future-ready solutions in the realm of smart manufacturing.
