How smart do you want your robot to be?
In previous blogs we explained how you can enrich your operational data with the Selmers Plant Management System (SPMS). And thus make your hardware and processes smarter, as it were.

Selmers site managers and traveling engineers operate like real chameleons
Everyone understands that ‘delivering’ installations and production lines is nothing like delivering a pizza. At Selmers we consider erection, installation and commissioning just as important as the engineering itself. That is why a site manager always travels to customers around the world along with a mechanical, electrical and software engineer. Because of the often large […]
The more complex it gets, the ‘simpler’ it needs to be
It’s certainly not high-tech, but have you ever looked closely at an embroidery? What immediately stands out is the contrast between the front and back.

Our guys would! Thanks to a great deal of improvisation and perseverance, a lot of guts […]
Lifting safety standards to a higher level is a continuous process
We all know that staying aware of dangers in the workplace all the time is quite a challenge. Failure to do so, however, will result in accidents sooner or later. This is especially true when factories haven been in operation for years and processes, machine settings or entire configurations have meanwhile changed. Conducting risk assessments […]
Keeping a grip on complex projects using six eyes
Complex custom projects in industrial environments are by definition a challenge. The fact that in our case these projects are often also multidisciplinary and long-term only adds to the challenge. For example, how do you keep a grip on the countless details? If such things are not well organized, you may just as well close […]
