Industries across the world are witnessing profound techno- logical paradigm changes, necessitating a new set of engineering skills and capabilities for the future workforce. This paper investigates the needed engineering competencies required to bridge the skills gap related to In- dustry 5.0. Our work analyses current educational frameworks on th...
Chapter
Full-text available
Investment costs and lack of knowledge are often cited as barriers to adopting collaborative robots, especially for smaller businesses with limited budgets. Cobots demand specialised knowledge and skills not only for their installation and programming but also for effectively maintaining and adapting them to accommodate various product types. This...

In the second year of the KITT4SME project, SUPSI developed a survey to investigate the adoption of collaborative robotics. This activity, together with the collaboration with the TRINITY Robotics project and the activities performed within the BRILLIANT demonstrator (TRINITY open calls 2022), leads to the development of the KITT4SME report 2022. T...

As manufacturing industry is moving its steps towards a more digital, smart and flexible scenario, the changes required to achieve the expectations of the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) framework are numerous and extensive. Though, a general lack of understanding of how new technologies could be integrated and shall be implemented is present, limiting the rat...
Article

This paper presents an experimental characterization of an industrial, entry level piezoelectric device with open loop control, whose working principle is based on friction. As a consequence, the length of the single step is dependent on the applied load. Test results confirm the strong dependence existing between the stroke length and the resistan...

Chapter
Besides pursuing the economic goals of low costs and high profits, companies are becoming more and more aware of the environmental and social impact of their actions. Companies striving for the integrated optimization of environmental and economic perspectives within their production processes, need to be supported by tools helping to understand th...
Chapter
This work illustrates the results obtained integrating the most recent laser scanner within machine tools for precision machining. The main aspects addressed include an in-depth analysis of currently available devices and their test on a specially adapted measuring machine, the use of the same axis that move the tool to achieve the scan and the use...
