Transforming Robotics with a Unified Vision

B&R’s global vision is powered by three core elements: Machine‑Centric Robotics, open robot mechanics, and open software platforms. Together, they offer a new foundation for machine and plant engineering.

  • Machine‑Centric Robotics enables seamless integration of robots and machines, resulting in a unified automation solution that boosts performance and flexibility.
  • The open delta mechanism expands possibilities for precision and mobility, supporting exceptionally fast and accurate movement sequences.
  • Open software platforms foster close collaboration between machine builders, integrators, and end users — creating a dynamic ecosystem that accelerates innovation.

These concepts form the basis for automation that is not only efficient, but also adaptable and future-ready.

Machine‑Centric Robotics brings robotics and machine control together in one powerful, unified architecture. This integrated approach enables manufacturers to fully embrace mass customization and efficiently manage batch‑size‑one production. By sourcing both the robot mechanics and the machine control system from a single supplier, machine builders gain a streamlined development environment with just one controller and one engineering platform for programming, diagnostics and maintenance. The result? A dramatically simplified path to implementing robotics—lowering barriers, reducing complexity and accelerating innovation.

LESS HARDWARE

Unlock a new level of efficiency with streamlined operations that rely on fewer hardware components. Enjoy reduced maintenance, enhanced reliability, and a smarter, more scalable machine design built for the future.

SMALLER FOOTPRINT

Maximize every millimetre of your production space. By seamlessly integrating robotics directly into your machine architecture, you gain a significantly smaller footprint, a cleaner, more efficient layout, and the capacity to boost overall production output.

OPTIMIZED COSTS

Take advantage of a unified solution—robots and machine controllers from a single, trusted source. The result? Lower investment costs, leaner operations, and greater long-term profitability.
