Intelligent Motion Control Solution

#Consumer Electronics# Published : Oct 08, 2023

Outstanding motion control, advanced sensing, and deterministic connectivity make intelligent manufacturing possible. Intelligent motion control integrates precise feedback, advanced detection, high-performance control, and seamless connectivity technologies to provide deterministic motion solutions, enabling highly flexible and efficient manufacturing processes. 

Robot motion control solutions have evolved from basic on/off constant-speed motors to complex multi-axis servo drive solutions. This transformation is to adapt to the increasingly complex trends in automation technology, meeting the demand for higher levels of performance and autonomy in smart manufacturing.

Intelligent Motion Control Solutions for Smart Manufacturing

Intelligent motion control is a crucial foundation of smart manufacturing. ADI is dedicated to providing new technologies and solutions to help customers achieve advanced and sustainable next-generation motion control technology.

 

There are four key drivers accelerating innovation in the field of intelligent motion: reducing energy consumption, moving towards agile production, achieving digital transformation, and transitioning to service-based new business models (focused on reducing downtime and increasing asset utilization in smart manufacturing).

Reducing Energy Consumption


Electric motor systems account for nearly 70% of the entire industry's power consumption. Intelligent motion solutions shift more applications from constant-speed motors to efficient motors and variable-speed drives, significantly reducing energy consumption. This shift is partially driven by energy efficiency regulations.

 

Moving Towards Agile Production


As industries adjust according to consumer demands and changing buyer behavior, there is a need for agile production based on reconfigurable production lines to provide more customization and achieve faster turnaround times. Agile production increases flexibility during disruptions, enabling quicker responses to evolving customer needs.

 

Digital Transformation


With motion assets connected to the internet, accessing motion data and insights from advanced sensors is easier than ever. These data can be analyzed through robust cloud computing and artificial intelligence to optimize manufacturing processes and monitor the current health of assets across the facility.

 

New Business Models


Intelligent motion applications are integrating state monitoring features to monitor the health of industrial assets in real-time. This has led to new business models offering predictive maintenance and service-based contracts around deployed assets, reducing unplanned downtime and providing higher levels of productivity and asset utilization.
