With June being the National Safety Month, we encourage companies to get involved and be active in seeking improvements made in their industry’s safety standards. There are several resources to reach out to for information on meeting safety guidelines and requirements, as well as various safety equipment options available for improving your system.
Safety is especially important in the field of robotics. When dealing with a robotic cell, it’s imperative to keep the system maintained properly and KC Robotics, Inc. can provide you with a variety of options for safety fencing, safety mats, light curtains, area scanners, etc.
The Robotic Industries Association (RIA) is responsible for creating the safety standards in the robotic industry and these can be retrieved by simply visiting their website listed below!

We’ve all been hearing stories, whether on the news, in magazines or books, about the exciting role robots will have in medical field. I stumbled across an article written by Frank Tobe, from The Robot Report, who attended Stanford University’s Conference on Medical Robots last month. A lot of great information was given on the hopeful progress of robotic use in surgery.
Mr. Tobe pointed out several future projections that were given for medical automation, including two that many would find rather important. First, that the role of surgeons would change from compartmentalized to nearly transparent. Second, that there will be more devices used which will perform surgeon’s functions autonomously.
It’s really quite interesting to read more on the growth of the healthcare field and how robotics will integrate into such an important field. ough Mr. Tobe’s article is certainly worth the read!
