Sustainability: Shifting from Vision to Reality. Robots and artificial intelligence play a critical role in the environmental sustainability practices of the metalworking industry, particularly when it comes to back breaking processes such as sanding, polishing, buffing, grinding, coating, priming and blasting, among others. Robots improve a shop's performance by minimizing the use of consumables (between 30% to 70%), and contributing toward the elimination of scrap, repair and rework, which reduces energy consumption and cuts down on waste streams. Robots also enable significant increases in productivity, efficiently and precisely, with the same machine line up and within the same shop footprint, further reducing energy consumption. On the horizon are sensors to track temperature and humidity so robots can adapt processes based on the time of the year and time of the day, further reducing the use of consumables. Additionally, dashboards will track how upstream and downstream processes impact overall workflow, and how it affects a shop's contribution to sustainability initiatives.
