Methods for Empty Carton Induction in Pick Modules
The method you choose for delivering empty cartons can significantly impact productivity and operational efficiency. Here, we explore three common methods for empty carton induction to Pick Modules, highlighting the benefits of using an overhead conveyor system.
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.
Battery inspection using machine vision - fast, reliable, and variable
Averna has developed a procedure for automating battery inspection for one of its customers. The fact that potential errors are extremely varied increases the complexity of the inspection process.
How to Achieve the Full Benefits of a Warehouse Digital Twin
A warehouse digital twin needs more than a highly capable WMS, it also needs a reliable technology to capture all the necessary inventory data, and this is where computer vision plays a pivotal role.
Physical AI: Embracing AIs Moment in Robotics
Manufacturers currently use automation to streamline workflows, enhance efficiency, cut costs, and meet growing consumer demands. Yet they face a myriad of disruptions such as labor shortages, limitations of current technologies, and costly downtimes on production lines.
The Future of Underwater Robotics
Imagine a robot that can manage aquaculture projects, repair oil pipelines, and scan the seabed - all without risking human life. Nauticus Robotics' flagship robot, Aquanaut, meets these challenges while running solely on electric power.
Multi-axis motion control drives pipe-based robots
Surveying and maintaining underground pipes can be complex and resource intensive. To streamline the process, construction and facility management teams are increasingly turning to robots that can provide inspection as well as repair.
Case Study Evaluation of an Auditory Alert for an Autonomous Mobile Robot
In this case study, we focus on the autonomous mobile robot (AMR), which can navigate and perform tasks in active environments without direct human control. Safe navigation and obstacle avoidance are fundamentally important for AMRs in the workplace.
Legal Considerations for Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) in Warehousing
Understanding the nuances of RaaS agreements is key to maximizing its benefits. From implementation fees to site licensing and maintenance responsibilities, a well-structured contract ensures that both vendors and operators are aligned on expectations and obligations.
Automation's Future in Sustainable Transportation
From an operational standpoint, the role of robotics and automation in battery swapping is pivotal. Automated guided mechanisms handle each module, reducing labor costs and minimizing human error.
