Robotics solutions provider Adept Technology has recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. In business since 1983, adept has installed more than 57,000 automation systems worldwide in its thirty years industry existence.
Keen on celebrating its three decades of presence in a unique way, Adept has enhanced its website by appending a blog to its website. The blog features videos and images of Adept robot installations around the world. The blog is intended to provide customers with an interactive platform to share their stories and examples of Adept robots in action. Customers are also encouraged to leave their comments about the company’s products and services.
Since the first shipment of the world's first direct drive robot system and Adept’s initial product, AdeptOne, in 1984, Adept Technology has come a long way to establish its strong presence in the manufacturing sector. Today Adept's automation solutions are used in packaged goods, life sciences, disk drive/electronics and semiconductor/solar technology, as well as in more traditional industrial markets such as machine tool automation and automotive components.
Manufacturers around the world are increasingly employing flexible robotic work cells in order to accommodate mass customization and shorter product lifecycles. In keeping with this trend, Adept has shifted its focus to developing robotics technology that can enable future robots to work collaboratively alongside people on a variety of tasks in factories, distribution centers and medical facilities. In fact Adept’s fully autonomous mobile vehicles are already being used in both the medical and semiconductor industries to work alongside human workers.
“We are very proud to have achieved this milestone in our history but we are just getting started,” president and CEO of Adept Technology Rob Cain noted in a statement.
“The future is very bright and we are excited to be a part of it,” Cain added.
“I congratulate Adept Technology, headquartered in my district, on the tremendous accomplishment of its 30th anniversary,” Rep. Eric Swalwell noted in a statement. “Adept Technology, the largest U.S.-based manufacturer of robots, is a fine example of California's creativity and spirit of innovation. It is companies like Adept that help to make American manufacturing more competitive and enable companies to re-shore their operations from overseas, key to reinvigorating our economy through a strong domestic manufacturing sector. I wish them well as they embark on their next 30 years.”
