Imagine a bustling car assembly line, where robots and machines seamlessly perform tasks from welding to painting to installing parts. All of them are coded with specific directions, detailing the exact actions, timing, and order needed for each task. But how do these machines know what to do and when? That’s where PLC programming comes in!
For many years, human inspectors had been the gatekeepers of quality, carefully examining each product with their trained eyes. Today, a silent revolution is underway.
From detecting minute flaws on assembly lines to predicting potential accidents on the road, computer vision is proving to be a game-changer in automotive. Let’s explore the various applications of this technology in the intriguing world it operates in.
In the world of manufacturing, change has always been a constant. Over the years, there have been three significant revolutions that reshaped how goods were produced. Each revolution brought new technology and methods, propelling industry forward. However, as the 21st century approached, a new wave of transformation began to emerge—Industry 4.0.
In a not-so-distant future, artificial intelligence revolutionised work, a reality where human labour became obsolete, as machines took over tasks that were once performed by people. Today, Artificial Intelligence is transforming every sector, from healthcare and cybersecurity, to autonomous vehicles and daily apps, AI is now the bedrock of progress and innovation.

In today’s fast-evolving industrial landscape, automation stands out as a game-changer, reshaping the way businesses operate and compete. From manufacturing to logistics, the integration of advanced automation technologies is driving significant improvements in efficiency, productivity, and safety. Here’s a look at how industrial automation is transforming industries and what it means for the future.
A tilting stage incorporating three wedge-type Z-axis modules. Place the objects requiring angle adjustment on the stage, the height and horizontal level can be adjusted by vertical movement of each actuator. HEPHAIST spherical rolling joints (SRJs) are used for the joints between the table and the actuators.
The feed mechanism incorporates a “ball screw + wedge type speed reduction mechanism”. This is a super-precise stage that achieves high follow-up*, high accuracy, and high stiffness by mounting a cross roller guide on the linear motion guide.
Ultra-thin stage with electric actuators placed on the single plane, it makes the center of gravity of the entire equipment lower enough. Various table movements are possible by operating three actuators placed on the single plane individually.
