I'm Aaron Lane with RND Automation. We're here at PACK EXPO Chicago, and really wanted to just talk about what we brought to the show. We're a custom automation company as well as packaging one, and so we bring our test bench. This is where we test anything that we consider high risk in our projects. And so it really shows some diversity here. Today, we actually brought a newer robot for us, which our sister company does. So this is a B&R Codian robot. What's unique about it and the reason we brought it is that one PLC can control multiple robots, uses external drives that would go in your cabinet instead of a robot controller. And that allows it to synchronize with any other servers on the machine. So if you need that synchronicity, then that's an excellent path. But we also show our FANUC on here because if you don't need that synchronicity, Fanic is a little bit lower cost, high speed, a lot of things that somebody's looking for when they don't need that extra special functionality.
So both robots, great choices. And again, this is where we would test something. If we need that synchronicity, we can test that with the Codion. If we need simple pick and place, we'll test that with Fanic, but great to bring it here to the show.
