The Hidden Tax of Robot Calibration
We explore the invisible friction slowing down industrial automation: robot calibration drift. With labor costs rising and precision demands increasing, factories are losing billions to robots that can no longer trust their own sensors. Lucas breaks down how thermal expansion and mechanical wear cause positional errors in high-speed assembly lines, while Luna investigates the human cost of constant recalibration. We look at a specific case study from an automotive parts supplier in Ohio where a five-centimeter drift halted production for weeks. This episode reveals why software updates alone…
