On Thursday, March 18, FPE Automation welcomed a local Elk Grove Village Cub Scouts troop to their Technology and Training Center for a fun and educational early evening automation demo.
The Scouts were shown collaborative robots, autonomous mobile robots, vision systems and more of the latest innovations.
Whenever FPE Automation invites young students to one of our facilities, or takes this technology to them, it's always a very popular event. The collaborative robots are so safe and simple to use that we are able to allow the students to interact with, program and operate them on their own. It's a fun event, as well as great exposure for young people. A glimpse of the future of American manufacturing. A future they will be a part of.
We are very happy to announce that FPE Automation's Joe Judge is PHD's #1 top performer for March 2021. Joe was selected by PHD's Scott Peters for this honor for a few reasons; Joe has helped to implement innovative PHD solutions at numerous companies, large and small. Slides, actuators, and even custom products. Those customers have benefited from PHD quality. It was customers' positive feedback to PHD, about Joe and his contribution to their success, that prompted PHD to select him for that #1 top performer spot this month.
In awarding Joe for his accomplishments, Peters said "Joe has done a great job of reminding the customer of PHD's reliability, delivery, and support over the many years of our partnership."
Congratulations, Joe!

COVID-19 has created an unprecedented situation for the manufacturing sector globally. Supply chains are disrupted, stopping the flow of materials and finished goods. Assembly lines are forced to change operations because of a lack of workforce and parts and changed consumer behavior. Employee health has become a serious concern, and physical interaction is risky.
While the immediate impact is challenging, manufacturers can take steps to ensure their survival, recovery, and growth.
COVID-19 has already created changes for the future of manufacturing by forcing companies to invest in resources that build agility, responsiveness, and resilience in their manufacturing operations.
Manufacturers with digital platforms, accessible data, and advanced analytics capabilities will be able to respond more quickly, accurately, and successfully to COVID-19 outages.

Presented by IMEC, in partnership with FPE Automation
Most robot applications include some form of pick and place where part presentation is just as important as the robot programming itself. There are many well proven feeding methods that pair well with robots, each with their own advantages for various situations, but flexibility is becoming increasingly necessary.
Instead of using fixtures or pegboards to register part locations in a fixed array, Vision Guided Robotics, or “VGR,” adds a level of dynamic response to your part presentation. Parts placed in random locations on a single flat plane are located by a camera, and the live positions are sent to the robot which can locate the part in real time.
In this highly practical webinar, IMEC and FPE Automation will discuss the newest technology related to 2D VGR including a live programing example of a pick and place application using a Universal Robots collaborative robot and 2D vision offsets.
This event is sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology Manufacturing Extension Partnership, Purdue MEP, The Center for Industrial Research and Service at Iowa State University (CIRAS), and the Illinois Manufacturing Excellence Center (IMEC).
>Today, FPE Automation had the unexpected honor of accepting the 2020 Distributor of the Year award from PHD on behalf of all of our employees.
During the online meeting, PHD shared with the large audience of virtual attendees that competition had been high for their top award.
In the end, it's about partnerships. The ones we have with PHD, and also the ones we have with you, our valued clients. On behalf of FPE Automation, we'd like to say thanks to everyone who helped us to get to this point.
Here's to 2021, and to hopefully seeing all of you in person again soon.
Safe Space Tech Lamps Kill Covid - Research Confirms
CDC, EPA and other official research reports that products from Safe Space Technologies provide "rapid and efficient inactivation of surface dried SARS-CoV-2 by UV-C 2 irradiation".
The Rover/UV mobile disinfection robot combines a disinfecting light source with an autonomous mobile robot from Mobile Industrial Robots A/S (MiR).
More effective. Proven. Let's battle this thing together. At FPE Automation, we're putting the products we understand to work to keep people well. For more information, contact us.
