…objects, take appropriate action, and place objects with precision. Interoperability: Integrates reliably with other warehouse automation technologies using OSARO’s modular RESTful API. Built in tracking: Tracks performance: built-in monitoring assesses and optimizes performance after installation. Shortens cycle time: OSARO’s superior vision capabilities shorten order cycle time to speed delivery and improve order accuracy. Eases labor issues: Addresses labor shortages and boosts production without adding headcount: complements and enhances existing systems with reliable vision so that they can perform 24/7—without training, breaks, injuries, or overtime. Lowers risk: Upfront assessments and multiple pricing options, including robot-as-a-service (RaaS), lower the risk of every…

…hopping from place to place.” “This is not traditional interoperability,” Jonnalagadda says. “For Autodesk, interoperability [in Fusion] is about using data in its current format, using it as is. This is not about IoT; it is about data and insights; using data to augment and enhance. Our customers want the data from the field for design choices, maintenance choices and operational choices.” Connecting for product insight Engineers “know everything about the CAD model, but know little about the physical model when it is in production,” says Paul Sagar, VP of CAD Product Management at PTC. “There is no data on…

…is part of the MassRobotics Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) Interoperability Working Group. The organization this week announced Version 1.0 of a communications standard for AMRs of different types from different vendors. “The effort is a good idea,” Poursohi said. “We haven't seen a lot of [mixed environments] yet, but we will as we start to enter warehouses where there are other machines.” Third Wave has been conducting remote onboarding as it has doubled in size to 32 employees during the pandemic. “We're looking for roboticists, machine learning experts, and engineers, and we're building out our operations team doing deployments,” said…

…so they can validate configurations and verify compatibility and interoperability,” he added. “And the RTI Administration Console includes new graphical views. The old network view was OK for tens of components, but nodes are easier for visualizing hundreds.” RTI Connext 6.1 is intended to enable developers to build more reliable remotely controlled and autonomous machines. Source: RTI The road to XaaS “The road to XaaS, or everything as a service, is increasing levels of autonomy,” said Barnett. “As you automate a formerly manual process, such as pick and place, you can train a robot with camera data so it knows…

…robotics hardware has its own programming language, intricacies and interoperability issues. The no-code approach essentially builds a smart layer that shields users from dealing with low-level language and deals with all sorts of snags in the backend. While it’s an approach that has proven to work, I personally believe that this is an intermediate solution that will become obsolete in the future. Even today, we’re shipping machines that are pre-programmed to work out of the box on factory assembly lines without any end user needing to program them. The AGI community believes in building machines that are capable of learning…

…enterprise sites with tight spaces Intelligent human-robot orchestration, autonomy, interoperability, remote monitoring, and analytics powered by Vecna’s Pivotal software Vehicle vendors join forces There are more 5 billion pallets in circulation and nearly 5 million manual pallet jacks at work moving them every day, according to the Vecna Robotics and Big Joe. With 70% of the total cost of moving those pallets being labor – and severe labor shortages crippling supply chains – the companies said they have identified a clear need for an autonomous system to handle “in-between” loads. The new offering combines Vecna's expertise in AMRs and orchestration…

…to communicate with one another and enterprise systems for interoperability and efficiency. Organizations are addressing the issue, and a software ecosystem is growing to meet this need. Global shipping company DHL, for instance, has collaborated with Microsoft and AI-driven fulfillment provider Blue Yonder to integrate warehouse robots. DHL's initial implementation of the system was in a Madrid warehouse, where the company said it saved integration time by 60%. What’s driving the rapid of adoption of automation? Companies have cited different reasons for implementing robotics and automation in their warehouses. The following are the most common ones: Economics: Robotics can reduce…

…has been part of the robotics sales pitch, but interoperability is key,” he said. “If diverse pieces of equipment from multiple vendors aren't talking to one another, it's a challenge that we can address. The open standard is a win-win for developers, OEMs, and deployers of robotics.” CoreAVI sets goals for Vulkan SC API CoreAVI developed the Vulkan SC application programming interface (API) in close partnership with the Khronos Group based on the Vulkan and OpenGL low-overhead, high-performance graphics standards. The company said its Platforms for Safety Critical Applications are based on VkCore SC, which is aligned with the Vulkan…

…manage safe navigation and task assignment in dynamic environments. Interoperability has arisen as a concern over the past year or so, as factories and warehouses begin to deploy robots from multiple suppliers. A universal fleet management system such as Meili FMS can help mobile robot fleets to work effectively, especially if the fleet consists of different types of robots. Not only does will this software allow you to centrally manage your robots, but it can also enable them to autonomously and automatically adjust to changes in your order fulfillment.

…faster robot deployments. The teams will “continue to enhance interoperability and drive purposeful integrations with existing hospital infrastructure, electronic health records, and clinical communications, which will allow them to continue to meet the demands during the persistent nursing shortage,” it said. “Diligent Robotics' participation in the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator program led to the exploration of our team testing this solution with our clinical teams,” said Dr. David Marshall, Chief Nursing Executive at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. “Using the robot to relieve front-line health care workers from point-to-point delivery and retrieval tasks has been successful in our original launch,” he said. “Staff…
