"Never forget the basics,” goes the old saying. “They're the foundation of what you're capable of now.” Supply chain managers have turned their attention to integrating robotics and automation technologies to maintain competitive. Here, Chris Johnson, Managing Director at SMB Bearings, explains why bearings must not be overlooked as vital components in realising the full potential of more compact, speedy and precise industrial robots.
“Great things,” said Vincent Van Gogh, “are done by a series of small things brought together.” This applies to industrial robots, which are getting smaller and more compact – as are the companies buying them. It’s expected that SMEs will be a major driver of the robotics market in the coming years. Here, Chris Johnson, Managing Director at SMB Bearings, explains why thin section bearings are crucial to helping SMEs benefit from robots with improved manoeuvrability and precision.
In 2020, stock management issues were estimated to cost UK manufacturers 66 billion GBP because of disruption caused by the pandemic.
