Aerospace's Automation Breakthrough: How Robotics and AI Orchestration Are Rewriting the Supply Chain

For aerospace, the next leap will come from integrating physical automation with AI systems capable of coordinating the flow of information across complex, multi-vendor, secure environments that protect confidential information all while transforming efficiency..

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.

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.
