Robotic end-of-arms tooling (EOAT) is the last aspect analyzed when implementing a robotic automation project. The cost of EOAT can be as low as $10 for a suction cup and over $1,000 for an electric gripper. Hence, its cost is not a big part of an automation project. However, it has a direct impact on robotic cell performance and throughput. End-users consider performance, purchase, operations, and recurring costs when choosing a robotic EOAT system. The purchase costs include costs of all EOATs, the cost of the tool changer, robotic programming for grippers, and spare parts. The operation costs include the cost of tool changeover, compressed air, and maintenance.

Dispensing comprises processes from receiving a prescription to issuing the medicines. It is an essential process in patient care in healthcare facilities as all other processes prior to prescription dispensing will be redundant, if the medication has errors such as incorrect dosage or inappropriate packaging. As hospitals and retail pharmacies increase their investment in pharmacy automation solutions, the scope of products such as robotic pharmacy prescription dispensing systems will increase tremendously.

The robotic paint booth system is a combination of industrial painting robots andautomated paint booths that can be deployed individually or in combination with painting, dispensing, coating, and polishing of metals, wood, plastic, or any other materials.

Signal jamming is based on the concept of generating a signal of the same frequency (also called noise) to overpower and destruct the user signal, which a mobile service provider allocates to end-users. The manufacturing of a signal jammer device requires the use of discrete components such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and transistors.

The semiconductor production equipment industry can be divided into front-end and back-end process equipment. The front-end process includes cutting edge technology and integration. Investments for front-end equipment is more than back-end equipment; it takes up about 60% of the total investment. The front-end process includes silicon wafer process for manufacturing multiple integrated devices and designing of electric circuits on the wafers.
