Charging Is the AMR Decision Nobody Models Until It's Too Late: How to Get Fleet Charging Right Before It Costs You

Charging strategy, battery chemistry, and the electrical infrastructure behind them quietly determine whether a fleet delivers the throughput it promised or stalls when demand is highest.

A Technical Guide to Custom Versus Standard Servo Drives

In this white paper, we'll identify some scenarios and use cases where customization delivers meaningful value — helping you determine when standard drives suffice and when custom solutions justify the investment.

ResinDek® Flooring Supports Complex Platform Build in Middle-Mile Parcel Sortation Center

In total, the project included approximately 165,000 square feet of elevated platform structure and more than 21,000 square feet of grid structure supporting conveyor systems throughout the facility.

How Power Converters Enable Smarter Robotics and Automation

Solving real world challenges for long runtime for a battery powered AMR, multi megawatt peaks in a welding cell, or microsecond level responsiveness in a medical robot means engineering the power chain with the same rigor as the mechanical joints or control firmware.

AGIBOT X2 Series Showcases Embodied AI at the World Cup, Marking a Historic Sports Companion Debut

This marks the first time an embodied AI humanoid robot has served as a full-scenario companion at a World Cup, signaling embodied AI's expansion from industrial and laboratory settings into one of the world's most celebrated sporting stages.

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.
