WHAT WE DO

COMPONENTS OF AUTOMATIONBlueBay’s core strength is its comprehensive knowledge base

covering a range of Technologies from the product to the systems

level. These Technologies include Machine and Motion Control,

Robotics, Vision Systems, HMI, VFD, Networking (I/O), Sensing,

Safety, Data Management, Custom Software and Mechanics.

ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATIONBlueBay Automation helps OEMs, End Users and Machine

Builders design and implement technology solutions to reduce

costs throughout their processes and protect their automation

investments for the long run. Some of the challenges that BlueBay

can help clients address:

• Maintenance demands from complex control schemes and

constantly changing software

• Diffi culty lowering lifecycle costs and generating expected returns

• Complying with changing regulatory and safety concerns

• Rising costs due to rapidly evolving technologies

• Reducing and managing energy consumption

• Install automation where a high degree of accuracy is required

Yaskawa Singular Control is a new concept allowing machine

builders and manufacturers a way to develop manufacturing lines

that include PLC, Motion, Drives, Vision, and Robotics under

one open standardized programming language, IEC 61131. The

Singular Control concept enables the use of off-the-shelf standard

control, drives, servo systems, and robotics from Yaskawa and

Yaskawa-Motoman Robotics as well as other standard products

that use open networks such as EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT.

Design your ideal case packing application with gantry

robots, then switch to articulated robots without the need for

extensive reprogramming. It’s all part of Singular Control,

which eliminates the need for a separate robot controller and a

specialist in robot programming.

In the world of manufacturing, our own version of IoT, the

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), is a logical extension of

automation and connectivity that has been a part of the plant

environment for decades, primarily in the area known as

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication.

IIoT implementation is driven by the need for smarter, more

interconnected operations. To achieve this, organizations require

easy-to-use solutions to connect and expand the capabilities of

legacy equipment within existing facilities.

Industry 4.0 / IIoT

MECHATRONICS

of physics and materials science for analysis, design,

manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems.

Our team of qualifi ed engineers and technicians will ensure that

your project is a success from concept to implementation. BlueBay

is an Automation Solutions Provider (ASP) that provides

technology-based solutions.

In addition to providing our customers excellent service in basic

order fulfi llment, BlueBay Automation’s core strengths have manifested

themselves in the form of a broad and fl exible range of technical

value-added services that we offer our customer:

• Programming Services - Motion, PLC, HMI, IIoT

BlueBay Automation offers full turnkey systems and integration services to

provide customers with complete end-to-end solutions. Our experience in

advanced automation concepts, including forward and inverse kinematics,

have allowed us to supply proven solutions to diffi cult applications.

BlueBay developed an extremely high-speed 4-Bar SCARA robot for

an electronics manufacturer. The 4-Bar mechanism was selected due

to it’s rigidity, low inertia, and ability to operate at extremely high speeds

while maintaining a high degree of repeatability and accuracy. The

system was built using Yaskawa Direct Drive servo motors.

BlueBay helped to develop a Delta-2 style robot for a converting OEM.

The custom dual arm D2 robot was integrated into a Yaskawa motion

control system utilizing advanced electronic camming techniques. The

solution allowed the OEM to achieve precise registration while picking

and placing a large corrugated sheet onto a high-speed die-cutter.

There are several reasons to automate. However, automation is

mostly seen as a means to increase production while lowering cost.

Traditionally, custom machines are designed to perform a very specifi c

task. This is known as Hard Automation. While Hard Automation

and a high product mix will always have a place in manufacturing, it

is generally only feasible for products that require mass production.

Therefore, in many cases, it is cost prohibitive for manufacturers to

employ automation where lower volumes and high product mix exist.

Here at BlueBay, we have noticed a growing demand for Flexible

Automation. Because of the cost and fl exibility limitations with Hard

Automation, some manufacturers have not employed automation and

continue to struggle with meeting deliveries while fi nding it diffi cult

to remain competitive in a global economy. As the costs of robots

decrease, and the introduction of Collaborative Robots to industry, the

barrier to entry for automated cells has been grossly reduced.

FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION

The idea behind Flexible Automation is that a particular robotic cell can

be adapted to multiple (often unrelated) processes. Some processes

that lend themselves to automation might only require a robot to

work for 3 hours per shift. It can be diffi cult to fi nancially justify an

automation cell in such a scenario. However, if that same cell could

be easily adapted to perform 2 or 3 more tasks per day, justifi cation in

terms of ROI (return on investment) becomes much easier.

Investing in a Flexible Automation Solution is just that; an investment.

Because of it’s versatility, these automation cells become assets that

can be redeployed as necessary. In contrast, a Hard Automation

cell requires a defi nitive product life cycle that must be guaranteed in

order to achieve an acceptable ROI.

BlueBay offers products and systems that can be combined to

achieve the perfect affordable Flexible Automation Cell.
