Better questions before equipment is selected.
These guides are written for engineering, production, operations and procurement teams defining industrial projects. They support early decisions but do not replace project-specific technical or legal advice.
Robot or cobot: choosing the right platform
A decision framework based on the complete task, cell and operating context—not payload alone.
Read the guideMachine safety designed into the project
Why access, operating modes, physical guarding and safety functions should shape the layout from the outset.
Read the guideSpecifying reliable component feeding
The samples, orientation, rate, replenishment and interface information needed before feeder trials begin.
Read the guideEditorial approach
Practical, evidence-led and explicit about scope.
Useful technical content should help a reader prepare samples, challenge assumptions and define acceptance—not merely list equipment.
- Written around customer decisions and project risk.
- Reviewed by the relevant technical discipline before publication.
- Updated when operating guidance, legislation or group capabilities change.
- Separated from named case studies until permission and evidence exist.
