Why Choose Robotics Solutions from IPC2U?
The demands on modern factory automation are steadily increasing. Whether in automotive, pharmaceuticals, or logistics—the hardware must not only be powerful but also extremely reliable. Our robotics components are characterized by the following features:
-
Interoperability: Seamless integration into existing OT infrastructures via EtherCAT and industrial protocols.
-
Scalability: From compact NVIDIA Jetson-based controllers for mobile robots (AMR) to massive Intel x86 control systems.
-
Robustness: Extended temperature range and vibration protection for use directly at the machine.
1. What is the difference between a robot controller and a standard IPC?
A robot controller is specifically optimized for the real-time processing of motion algorithms. It features dedicated interfaces such as EtherCAT or CANopen and often includes pre-installed libraries for kinematics control, which would have to be manually retrofitted on a standard IPC.
2. Do IPC2U robotics systems support AI and machine learning?
Yes, particularly our NVIDIA Jetson-based controllers are designed for edge AI applications such as object recognition, pick-and-place optimization, and autonomous navigation.
3. Which protocols are used for communication?
Our systems primarily rely on the EtherCAT industry standard for real-time communication; however, they also support Modbus, PROFINET, and OPC UA for vertical integration into cloud or ERP systems.
