    In system integrator Arthur G. Russell’s R&D and mock-up area in Bristol, Conn., senior R&D engineer Jerry Buchas adjusts a robot-actuated loader that brings a client’s product to the proper location in a case, so its end-of-arm tooling (EOT) with an attached actuator can push the product into place. AGR helps customers develop, test, and derisk their designs and requirements for new end-products and production systems. Its clients want to derisk because shorter product lifecycles and increasing demand for variety are compressing development and commissioning schedules.
