Description
According to news on October 10, it is reported that ABB has completed the acquisition of Robotics, a leading parallel robot provider, yesterday. The company is mainly used in high-precision picking and placing applications.
Among them, Codian Robotics’ products include sanitary-grade production line designs, which are especially suitable for hygiene-sensitive industries such as food and beverages and pharmaceuticals. Through this transaction, ABB is accelerating its deployment in the continuously growing field of parallel robots.
Codian Robotics is based in Eide, the Netherlands, and has 20 employees worldwide. The company will continue to provide services directly to customers. The acquisition was signed and completed on October 1, 2020, and both parties agreed not to disclose any details about the acquisition price.
In the field of parallel robots, ABB has an absolute advantage
As we all know, ABB ranks among the world’s top 500 companies and is a leading company in the field of power and automation technology.
ABB is committed to helping customers in power, industry, transportation and infrastructure improve performance while reducing environmental impact. ABB is one of the four major families in the field of industrial robots and has an absolute advantage in traditional six-axis robotic arms.
In the field of parallel robots, it is also an early manufacturer. In 1998, it released the FlexPicker, a triangular robot specially used in the picking and packaging industry. After improvement, it formed the current FlexPicker family, the IRB 360 series of parallel robots. The working range There are three types: 800mm, 1130mm and 1600mm. The load ranges from 1KG to 8KG, and the models are relatively small. ABB parallel robots do not have vision, and most of the applications on the market are in cooperation with vision companies such as Cognex in the United States.
ABB parallel robots are currently mainly produced by ABB’s factory in Shanghai. In addition, in 2018, ABB announced that it would spend US$150 million to build a robot factory in Shanghai, which is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2020. It is believed that it will have an advantage in robot manufacturing costs. Of course, ABB parallel robots generally require external vision, and the cost of vision is relatively high. Coupled with the high brand premium, the price of IRB 360 in the market has also remained high for a long time.
Acquisition of Codian adds more power to a tiger
Sami Atiya, President of ABB Robotics and Discrete Automation, said: “Our acquisition highlights our focus on breakthrough technologies that will not only help our customers take full advantage of the potential of automation, but also help them survive in a rapidly changing business world. Improve flexibility in the environment.
Codian Robotics’ technology and industry knowledge is a perfect complement to our range of food and beverage, pharmaceutical, service robots and logistics solutions, and is a strong support for ABB’s machine-centric robotics products.
“Over the years, we have developed a broad product portfolio. ABB’s exceptional global reach and industry experience will help us deliver our products globally. I look forward to both parties writing a new chapter in our success story together.” Freek, founder of Codian Robotics Hartman said.
While most robots used in the food and beverage industry today are not designed for food contact applications, Codian Robotics’ product portfolio includes hygienic designs for successful safe, open food processing.
