Filics secures €13.5M in financing to expand and roll out its robotics platform
The “Filics Unit” is the first product and consists of two omnidirectional robots that have been specially developed for handling Euro pallets. The system moves autonomously through the warehouse, traveling under pallets and transporting them.
The Human + Robot Workforce: How Collaborative Robotics Are Solving the Labor Crisis
Collaborative robotics like person-to-goods or “pick assist” AMRs are intelligently designed to work with people, not replace them. Adoption of AMRs for automated order fulfillment is turning this challenge into a competitive advantage.
Inspection of critical infrastructure using intelligent drones
A research group at the University of Klagenfurt has designed a real-time capable drone based on object-relative navigation using artificial intelligence. Also on board: a USB3 Vision industrial camera from the uEye LE family from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH.
Upgrade Your Mezzanine Flooring While Avoiding Timely and Costly Replacement
Mezzanine floors are important in many facilities. They provide extra space for storage or work without taking up more ground space. However, they often face heavy use from equipment and people. Over time, this can cause the floor to wear down.
Robot-Based Shelf Monitoring Cameras for Retail Operation Efficiency
Robot-based shelf monitoring systems integrate camera systems with autonomous robotics. It helps ensure seamless inventory tracking, planogram compliance, and shelf organization. Discover how these camera-based systems work and their must-have imaging features.
Hybrid AMRs are a Game-Changer
They can operate seamlessly in unstructured environments and adapt to changing floor conditions. At particular points where highest precision is required, we revert to a QR code location.
How Autonomous AI Tackles Quality Control Costs
Quality is often viewed as a direct driver of customer satisfaction and operational efficiency in manufacturing. Yet some organizations fail to recognize the hidden costs of quality issues, significantly impacting the bottom line.
