Building a Better RFP: A Practical Guide to Choosing the Right Automation Partner
Investing in automation is a major decision - one that affects everything from operational efficiency to customer satisfaction. But before you can reap the benefits, you need the right partner. And that starts with a solid Request for Proposal (RFP).
PILLARS OF TOMORROW - A hopeful vision of Government, Technology, and Human Dignity in harmony
For centuries, visions of the future have been dominated by dystopian warnings—cautionary tales of power gone wrong. Five Pillars of Tomorrow offers an alternative: a governance model where transparency, collective wisdom, and advanced AI safeguard human dignity.
Flexibility vs. Predictability in Mobile Automation: What Facilities Should Really Be Considering
There's a common misconception that AGVs are outdated while AMRs are cutting-edge. In
reality, both have evolved considerably in recent years, and modern mobile robots increasingly blur the lines between the two.

Robot Hype vs. Real Risk: Is Your Business Truly Ready for Autonomous Food Delivery?
The core tension is clear: excitement must yield to scrutiny. This post moves businesses past the novelty of robot adoption and into the necessary preparation phase of risk mitigation and compliance review. It's time to build a solid foundation before the next bot rolls out.
High-precision process monitoring and error detection in additive manufacturing
Powder bed-based laser melting of metals (PBF-LB/M) is a key technology in additive manufacturing that makes it possible to produce highly complex and high-performance metal components with customised material and functional properties.
Smart Supply Chain Strategies for Cold Storage: Solving Challenges with Scalable Automation
The global demand for temperature-controlled logistics continues to grow, and with it comes an increase in operational complexity. These facilities require substantial investment, precise temperature regulation, and the capacity to adapt to market shifts quickly.
The SPT-1500UL from SEER Robotics
What truly sets the SPT-1500UL apart is its patented E-type fork structure, which allows seamless compatibility with a wide variety of pallet types - including open pallets (nine-feet, stringer-style), as well as closed pallets, cages, and customized racks.
Using generative AI to diversify virtual training grounds for robots
New tool from MIT CSAIL creates realistic virtual kitchens and living rooms where simulated robots can interact with models of real-world objects, scaling up training data for robot foundation models.
Improving AGV efficiencies with updated battery technologies
AGV-powered sectors like eCommerce and pharmaceuticals have set the pace for electric adoption, cutting emissions while streamlining operations. Yet, legacy batteries, whether lead-acid's sluggish charging or Li-ion's trade-offs in speed, cost, or size, limit progress.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
