A family-owned manufacturing business is aiming to have a significant impact on production lines globally after designing a new robot that uses vision to operate.

Innovative Total Solutions, based in Midleton, Co Cork is collaborating with Queen’s University in Belfast to design the new robot. This ability to “see” means the robot can identity random parts within a production line and put them in a known location. This has a wide application for a number of industries globally, including the automotive, plastic moulding and medical device sectors.
