Utilizing Cobots to Manage Labor Shortages

By replacing manual CNC processes with the RB series cobots, the company has increased productivity by 40 to 50 percent. This has enabled the company to respond more effectively to client demands, which have increased two to three times since the recent semiconductor boom.

Doing More with Less in the Rapidly Evolving Fulfillment Industry

Labor shortages, demand fluctuations, and tighter budgets have more companies looking to automation to safeguard operations from this variability. However, human workers play a vital part in keeping order fulfillment cycle times low.

Updating Warehouse Automation Solutions to Improve Productivity and Profitability

Instead of having a thin layer of WES and FMS that cannot be dissociated from the robotic solution, I foresee robust, best of breed, stand-alone FMS and WES applications being developed.

Innovation in Mobile Robots for Warehouse Automation

The software is where the real magic is, though, at ForwardX. Our f(x) Fleet Manager is constantly improving using deep learning AI that analyzes every input and creates the most efficient process when dispatching AMRs for large orders or multiple orders.

Intelligent Box Opening Device (IBOD)

You have lots of cartons coming into a typical warehouse, let's say 600 boxes per hour, and razor blades are used to cut these boxes while keeping up with intake speeds. This invites risks and employees still get injured, despite safety precautions.

How a Government Drone Blacklist Could Impact Farms

The federal government has passed legislation that prohibits government entities, government funded organizations, and private contractors that service the government. contracts from purchasing/using Chinese-made drones

Improving Materials Processing With Robotics

End users are looking to machine builders to provide innovative solutions that improve upon the speed and accuracy of manual-based applications while maintaining the same level of flexibility.

2022 Top Article - Using Remote Operation to Help Solve Labor Shortage Issues in the Supply Chain

Our remotely operated forklifts allow operators to do their jobs from up to thousands of miles away. This is critically important to our customers, who have been dealing for decades with a labor shortage that recently has become even more acute than ever before.

2022 Top Article - Wireless Charging Enables Industry 4.0 Implementation with Mobile Robots

The latest wireless charging solutions use techniques based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When an alternating current is passed through an induction coil on the transmitter side, an oscillating magnetic field is created.

Solving Challenges in Machine-Robot Coordination

Using a single machine controller with robot kinematic control built-in means you don't need a separate controller for the robot or series of robots. This integration also puts robot and machine functions into just one development environment.
