About
Mark Kearns is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on rotational moulding technologies and the integration of robotics into industrial processes. His most significant contribution is the development and validation of the ROBOMOULD® machine, a next-generation rotational moulding system that replaces traditional gas-fired heating with precise electrical systems and incorporates sophisticated internal and external cooling mechanisms. In his pivotal 2017 study, Kearns provided a rigorous comparison between conventional and robotic rotational moulding machines, demonstrating that robotic systems can produce complex parts—such as monolayer polyethylene fuel tanks—with enhanced consistency and energy efficiency. This work, cited 4 times, has laid the groundwork for smarter, more sustainable moulding practices. Kearns’ research bridges mechanical engineering and automation, offering practical solutions for industries seeking to reduce waste and improve product quality. His achievements highlight a career dedicated to transforming traditional manufacturing through innovation, making him a key reference for engineers and researchers exploring the future of robotic process integration in polymer processing.
