New integrated solutions for industrial robots
Decades ago, manufacturing plants dreamed of integrated solutions. It was a serious challenge as operational and technical managers tried to figure out ways to get the various machinery and processes to “communicate” with each other. Unfortunately, they were frustrated by fragmented, inefficient and costly makeshift solutions.
Thankfully, we’re now living in a world where efficiency is central to every organisation’s key objectives. Robotic automation has leapt to the forefront of technological investments, as it remains the best way to keep operations organised, flexible, fluid and seamless.
At the same time, robots require integration with grippers, conveyors, and larger systems to attain the best results. Historically, components were sourced from various suppliers and assembled into a process by the end user. This wasn’t always a pleasant experience.
There’s nothing worse than experiencing a fault and being pinged from supplier to supplier because no one wants to take accountability for the issue. If you’re dealing with a single expert manufacturer, such as YASKAWA, that party is responsible for the full turnkey solution, ensuring maximum efficiency and performance. To quote former US president Harry Truman: “The buck stops here.”
At YASKAWA, we strongly believe that automated processes run with highest precision when all the individual components – from controllers to robotics – communicate on a common platform. Not only does it make it easier for the customer to deal with a sole manufacturer, but it’s also more efficient and cost-effective when you rely on a single expert who is responsible for the success of the solution.

Efficiency.
Robotic automation is more efficient than any human worker. With over 30 years of experience and expertise in designing robotic solutions, all of our systems are optimised for efficiency. From the robots to controllers, every individual component is enhanced for maximum productivity.
Performance.
Much like a car, if all the parts are genuine and from the same manufacturer, you’ll see an increase in speed and performance. The reason is simple: There’s one consistency across the board, ensuring all parts are of the same standard and quality.
Reliability.
When there are multiple components from different manufacturers, there will inevitably be varying quality standards – some high, some low. Using YASKAWA’s solutions, for example, you’re ensured of consistent output and reliability throughout the robot’s lifespan.
Synchronisation.
In order for an orchestra to produce beautiful music, every person needs to be synergised and synchronised. An integrated solution works the same way. From cycle-time optimisation to full synchronisation through joint control and positioners, your whole system needs to be “singing” in unison.
