Minimize production inefficiencies caused by human error and fatigue and drive consistent output with repeatable, software-driven assembly lines of Bright Machines

Industrial automation processes use control systems like computers or robots to monitor and handle processes and machines. Automation in the industrial workplace provides the advantages of improving productivity and quality while reducing errors and waste, increasing safety, and adding flexibility to the manufacturing process. In the end, industrial automation yields increased safety, reliability, and profitability. Not only are a growing number of OEMs, ODMs and EMS companies recognizing the value of Bright Machines solutions, but the industry has too. The World Economic Forum recently named us one of their Technology Pioneers and Bright Machines landed near the top on Forbes list of companies applying science like machine learning and computer vision to transform an industry. Bright Machines helps companies manufacture more products, at a higher-quality and lower cost. Increase capacity with predictable output by quickly automating error prone repetitive assembly and inspection tasks on your production line. With no programming required, Bright Machines Microfactories can be configured using a graphical user interface to automate product assembly and inspection. Brightware gets you to market faster. With streamlined user flows for setup and configuration, assembly lines can be deployed in half the time traditionally required. Brightware also operates the assembly line while in production using manufacturing data to drive operational excellence.

Bright Machines Microfactories are a modular, flexible system. Automation components, whether they are designed by Bright Machines or come from a third party, can be quickly added using the Bright Machines Device Wizard to setup the driver for it in Brightware. And when it comes time to wind down the production on a line, the automation components can be repurposed to build the next product. Bright Machines Microfactories use one or more Bright Robotic Cells (BRCs) to form an automated assembly line. There are two sizes of cells available, the BRC70 and BRC35, and they can be used together on the same line. Each BRC has a standard configuration which includes the chassis, electrical cabinet, robot arm, power supply, and touch screen display. Bright Machines Microfactories support automated material feeding enabling the assembly line to run for extended periods of time without requiring human operators to load materials into it. The Tray Feeder 600 is available in a standard configuration which is compatible with the BRC70 fitting onto the back side of the cell. Other line specific options for tray and bulk feeding are also available. Bright Machines Microfactories support conveyance. Embedded conveyors move pallets from cell to cell for processing a sequence of operations. Return conveyors bring pallets back to the start of the line. Pallet elevators are used in the line to transport pallets vertically between the embedded conveyor and return conveyor. Extension conveyors can be placed in the line where needed to accommodate human operator run stations or automated stations which don’t require a cell.
