Streamlining Product Functionality Through Automation
On September 23, 2025, at 12:00 PM ET, 11:00 AM CT, 9:00 AM PT, and 5:00 PM GMT, a thought-provoking webinar sponsored by Benchmark Electronics will delve into the intricacies of designing and manufacturing consumer-facing robotic systems. The event, scheduled for 60 minutes, will be accessible to those who are already registered via a provided link.
The discussion will focus on several challenges that designers and manufacturers face when crafting robotic systems for public use. These challenges include usability, functionality, durability/serviceability, and scaling.
Usability is a crucial factor to consider, as designers must take into account the varying technical skill levels of users. Functionality challenge arises when ensuring the system can meet all requirements to guarantee seamless function, reduce operating issues, and properly handle the contents to be dispensed or handled with the system.
Durability and serviceability become more significant concerns when moving from a controlled factory environment to an automated system in the wild, where more hands will touch machines daily. This necessitates designs that are robust and considerations for servicing. Scaling challenge comes into play when transitioning from one robotic system to profitable, high-volume manufacturing.
The webinar will feature design and manufacturing experts sharing insights on how several companies have launched intelligent new product lines using factory technologies. Among the manufacturers showcasing their innovative products are SINSMART, Siemens, ENGEL, Framery, Lightware, NETGEAR, and PIK AG.
SINSMART, for instance, will present new smart industrial solutions at IAS 2025 in Shanghai, featuring a broad range of industrial PCs designed for various applications such as industrial inspection, power computing, intelligent transport, and energy exploration. Siemens, in collaboration with Prima Power, will unveil the 3D laser cutting machine Laser Next 1530/2130, equipped with the CNC control Sinumerik One, featuring digital twin technology and advanced security. ENGEL will showcase digital solutions for injection molding with innovations like iQ clamp control for optimizing clamping force.
Framery offers smart soundproof pods for offices, while Lightware focuses on AV solutions with new AI-driven software development. NETGEAR advances network management with AI innovations, and PIK AG continues growth as a leading AV system integrator in Germany.
A growing number of innovative companies are developing intelligent products that incorporate shop-floor technologies into consumer-facing products, making this webinar a must-attend event for anyone interested in the future of robotic systems.
