…the company. The TR-301’s metal enclosure includes flanges for easy wall mounting, an LCD display for messages, and LED indicator lights to show system status. A standard transmitter antenna attaches via a short coaxial cable for flexible mounting options, WiBotic said. A built-in Ethernet port allows external systems to monitor and control the transmitter using the company’s Web-based application programming interface (API) or the WiBotic Commander software for fleet energy management. The TR-301 supports onboard chargers that mount on a drone or robot to control battery charging when the vehicle lands or docks. The products can be retrofitted to existing…

…company said its new positioning hardware and software offers easy systems integration. Andover, Mass.-based ACEINNA said its MEMS-based, open-source, inertial sensing systems enable centimeter-accurate navigation systems. The company said its isolated current sensor product family is based on an AMR technology in a simple, cost-effective, single-chip form factor. OpenARC is powered by Point One Navigation Inc.'s platform, which is built on satellite navigation, computer vision, and sensor fusion. The San Francisco-based company claimed that its systems outperform other options by tightly coupling the strengths of different sensor modalities and intelligently using proprietary data. ACIENNA designs OpenARC to improve positioning Autonomous…

…adopting technologies such as Internet-of-Things, Artificial Intelligence, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Drones are playing a central role in the intelligent automation of warehouse operations – given their ability to fly & hover autonomously, avoid obstacles, navigate indoors without GPS, land precisely on docking stations, operate in fleets and be remotely managed. The business benefits from drones are significant and immediate given low capital expenditure & infrastructure investments, access to reliable, off-the-shelf drone hardware, and SaaS offerings for warehouse automation. API-based integration makes it easy for existing warehouse management systems to onboard autonomous drone missions and data into enterprise workflows. Capabilities…

…that require faster, smarter, more flexible robots that are easy to set up and require less capital investment. AGVs have been around for decades but primarily used to support operations around production lines such as transportation of raw materials, semi-finished goods and finished goods between manufacturing and attached plant buffers. AGVs are being tested in large warehouses where repetitive tasks dominate but manually operated forklifts are still preferred for smaller operations. AMRs are more advanced as they can use dynamic navigation instead of being restricted to fixed routes and operate safely in an environment of workers and forklifts. Using AI-driven…

…with. The road to automation isn’t going to be easy, nor is it going to be readily embraced by today’s supply chain organizations. In polling the executives that it works across numerous industries, PINC has found that two-thirds of logistics spend is allocated to transportation and the remainder to warehousing. This is likely why so many companies are focused on innovations like self-driving vehicles. Interestingly enough, transportation only moves 10 percent of the average firm’s inventory, while 90% is sitting on the shelves or trailers at manufacturing plants, distribution centers, or out in a store. That tells us that companies…
