The Manufacturing Skills Gap Starts in The Classroom - Engineering Professor Claims

Deloitte reports that over 2 million jobs could go unfilled in the manufacturing space, due to a shortage of skilled workers. Now really is the time for industry experts and educators to come together and work together on closing the skills gap in higher education.

The Rise of Flexible Automation within the Supply Chain

Supply chain automation will become more intelligent, connected, and adaptive. AI-driven software will continue evolving from reactive monitoring toward predictive and prescriptive capabilities that help operations rebalance workloads and automatically optimize performance.

What Bastian Solutions’ experience reveals about the future of AGV navigation

The question is no longer only whether an AGV can follow a route reliably, but whether its navigation technology allows the robot to adapt as processes, layouts, and demands change.

Benefits to OEMs from Working with a Good Robotics Integrator

A good integrator acts as the bridge between the robot manufacturer and the customer’s real-world operation. The OEM understands the technology extremely well, and the customer understands their business. The integrator helps bring those two sides together.

Key Features to Consider in Digital Twin and OLP Software

Together, digital twins and Offline programming (OLP) software enable manufacturers and integrators to move more of the deployment work away from the shop floor and into a safer, faster, and more flexible virtual space.

Advances in Robots to See & Interpret within Warehouse Environments

Computation is the largest hurdle. 360-degree sensor data that is granular enough to detect small obstacles in the environment is very large. For Stretch to have a real time reaction, that data has to be processed at a very high rate.
