About The Customer
Mora Automation and Roboteknik AB (MARAB) is a company that has been creating automation solutions for diverse industrial clients since 1999. The company is known for its expertise in designing and implementing robotic automation solutions that streamline monotonous and dangerous tasks. MARAB's solutions are tailored to meet the specific needs of its clients, ensuring that they are both efficient and cost-effective. The company uses advanced technologies such as IRONCAD for design work, allowing it to create detailed 3D models of its solutions. MARAB's product line includes standardized robot cells that are designed to enhance CNC machine productivity by enabling fast part changers and unattended machining for long periods. The company also offers customized gripper mechanisms and integrates industry-standard Fanuc robots into its solutions. MARAB's commitment to innovation and excellence has made it a trusted partner for industrial clients seeking to optimize their automation processes.
The Challenge
MARAB, a company specializing in automation solutions, faces the challenge of providing optimal automation solutions to diverse industrial clients. The company needs to ensure that its solutions are not only efficient but also cost-effective, with a clear understanding of the cost of ownership and return on investment. The challenge is further compounded by the need to convert 2D sketches of existing production layouts into 3D environments to help customers visualize the proposed solutions. Additionally, MARAB must ensure that its robot cells are capable of handling diverse manufacturing parts with precision and efficiency.
The Solution
MARAB uses IRONCAD for all its design work, allowing the company to create detailed 3D models of its automation solutions. This software enables MARAB to convert 2D sketches into 3D environments, providing customers with a clear visualization of the proposed solutions. The use of IRONCAD's catalogue feature allows MARAB to drag and drop previously created robot cells, making it easy to customize solutions to meet specific customer requirements. MARAB's robot cells are equipped with advanced vision systems that enable the robots to autonomously identify part orientation and select parts from pallets or conveyors. The company's Q-Cells solution features a robot system mounted on rails, allowing for easy service and maintenance. MARAB also uses IRONCAD to produce finished layout elements, detailed plans, and spare parts lists for customers. The integrated rendering package KeyShot is used to create sharp rendered images for marketing and brochure material. Additionally, IRONCAD's ability to import components from major CAD vendors allows MARAB to design with third-party components as if they were created in its own system.

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
