Welcome to iREX 2019,
the largest robotics exhibition
around the world.
And welcome to ABB.
We serve customers around the globe
in more than 50 countries.
And today, we're here in Japan,
which is famous for innovation and speed
in the robotics and automation world.
We in ABB continuously invest in R&D.
And in robotics,
we're bringing out new technologies.
One example is the IRB 1100
and the OmniCore controller
for harsh environments.
One other new feature is
our digital twin capability with RobotStudio,
where we model basically the whole factory
and are able to reduce
the risk for our customers
to install a whole factory for their use.
We also introduce
a 3D printing capability here at iREX.
Today, we are launching the new
PowerPac RobotStudio for 3D printing.
We enable the possibility
to use our robots for 3D printing,
especially printing large-scale objects
which has not been possible before.
Japan has a very important
role in terms of leading innovation
in the area of creating automation.
We have a global center of manufacturing
and product development
for the painting equipment.
When we have
the automizer connected digitally
we can start seeing how the quality of
the paint process is developing on the car.
So we can start understanding
the transfer efficiency, the overspray,
how can we reduce waste,
how can we look at more quality on
the paint being transferred to the car body...
This is something we look at
as really enhancing the process
and the quality of the car body.
The electronics market
is a very interesting
and important segment for robotics.
IRB 1100 is a suitable product
in this application in this industry.
ABB is so much more
than only a robotic company.
We are really a technology provider.
We can do everything
from single robots to complete systems.
We can make it completely customized
or a standard off-the-shelf product.
We also do it for all different kinds
of businesses and industries.
And on top of that,
we also provide different services
depending on who the customer is.
I'm very proud that we as ABB
are the innovation leader in this industry,
and in the future, we'll see more varieties
coming out of ABB robots.
