Robotics and Automation - Articles, Stories & Interviews
KPI Growth has an enemy called “Recurrence” - Fight it with Standard Work to Sustain the Growth.
Continuous Improvement is often misunderstood as an engine for solving more problems. In reality, the defining capability of a mature operation is ensuring the same problems never return.
Fully Autonomous Deliveries inside Multi-floor Buildings without Elevator APIs
Once a robot can move between floors without any changes to existing building infrastructure, operators get immediate ROI by freeing staff from repetitive delivery work while improving speed and convenience for residents and guests.
Stefa Mini Solutions for Next-Generation Robotic Applications
The Stefa Mini, Cassette and Nano Seals all have smaller cross sections than comparable seals in the market today. This matters because a smaller seal allows for smaller glands (the area the seal slips into on the equipment) and smaller glands mean overall smaller equipment.
How to Build a Digital Foundation for Your Robotics and Automation Strategy
A strong digital foundation brings everything together, allowing automation initiatives to scale, adapt and perform as intended. Without it, automation efforts often stall before they reach their full potential.
Facility Maintenance: Lavo Bot AI and NVIDIA Bring Autonomy to Exterior Surface Cleaning
Equipped with advanced mapping, multi-sensor vision and zone-based safety, the system navigates real-job sites with confidence—handling up to 6,000 sq ft/hour and supporting pressure-wash rigs up to 12 GPM and 4,500 PSI.
The ifm Obstacle Detection System (ODS)
The ifm Obstacle Detection System (ODS) optimizes the robot's overall performance by treating obstacle detection as a holistic system rather than just a camera. It provides reliable obstacle detection to protect people, equipment, and mobile robots.
