After the pandemic, a surge in robotics innovations showed how humans can be resilient with the help of automation. 

More and more manufacturers have been adopting industrial automation in the past ten years. Even other industries, like medicine, have added robots to improve their processes. 

This year is one of the best years to start automating because of recent developments in robotics. Learn more about why you should automate your business in 2021 below. 

Hoists offer a simple solution for lifting heavy, awkward equipment or objects. 

Humans and industrial robots have their limitations, especially when it comes to heavy lifting. 

Even the strongest industrial robot will struggle to lift a load with weight that is unevenly distributed. These cumbersome objects can cause your productivity to plummet. 

Thankfully, hoists can easily lift these types of objects without putting anyone’s safety at risk. Learn more about hoists and where to get one at iGAM below. 

An easy way to increase productivity without adding industrial robots to your facility is by installing an RTU on the warehouse floor.

2020 was a difficult year that challenged every industry. Now, in 2021, businesses are encouraged to implement this one tool to restore growth.

However, this year, businesses need to start using automation to stay competitive. In a world where faster is better, automation offers a way to increase efficiency. 

Learn more about why (and how) you should automate below. 

Dust might seem like it's only a nuisance, but letting dust go unchecked in manufacturing environments can be dangerous. 

A safe work environment is a productive work environment. There’s a lot that goes into maintaining safe work conditions in manufacturing, and that includes air quality and dust levels. 

Dust may seem innocent, but it’s not, as we illustrate below. 

Check your dust levels and learn more about iGAM’s UAS BDC-22 Baghouse Dust Collector System to keep your facility clean.
