…and load capacity of the MiR200 Hook from Odense, Denmark-based Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) enabled Inpeco to meet its transport needs and allowed workers to engage in more meaningful work. Inpeco uses MiR AMR to optimize production. Source: MiR “We were looking to automate some processes with low added value to be able to redirect resources to operations that are more important and indispensable for the company,” said Roberto Ferraro, product manager at Inpeco. “We decided the first application should be the transport of raw materials from the warehouse to the production line and finished products from production to the…

…detailed look into what's happening around us.” The Odense, Denmark-based company’s proprietary Fleet Manager sits on a company network, instructing the robots what tasks or programs to execute, Mullen told Robotics 24/7. “It also has a 30,000-ft. view of the facility from a map standpoint and can see all the robots where they are positioned on the map, and it can do some path planning and collision avoidance,” he added. MiR uses an open application programming interface (API) to integrate with SAP or other enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to pull data from or push commands commands to the MiR…

…off its new OnRobot Palletizer. Kristian Hulgard, the Odense, Denmark-based company’s general manager for the Americas, said the EOAT maker is moving toward offering application-focused products rather than only selling grippers. Hulgard said the palletizer uses both OnRobot's hardware and software. “The hardware is a telescopic lift that can lift the robot up to palletize tall stacks of boxes,” he said. “It also comes with two different tools to handle different types and different sizes of boxes.” OnRobot is trying to expand its horizons and sell more than just grippers, acknowledged Hulgard. “We've come a long way introducing the cobot…

…of the process. The cobots were created by Odense, Denmark-based Universal Robots A/S, the market leader in the space with a 44% to 47% market share. Stellantis has been using Universal Robots’ cobots in Italy since 2017, according to Universal Robots. “For us, UR technology is a guarantee of a particularly advanced man-machine interface perfectly matched with the group's quality requirements in terms of both production processes and products,” said Ennio Meccia, head of manufacturing chief engineers at Stellantis. The cobot market is estimated to reach $1.71 billion by the end of 2022 and have a valuation of $8.65 billion…

…drones and assistive systems in Israel, marine systems in the Netherlands, and collaborative robot arms and mobile robots from Denmark. And that's not even counting the billions of dollars currently flowing into autonomous vehicle development, with China and the U.S. as early leaders. As each country and region seeks robotics leadership, common themes include technological innovation, manufacturing competitiveness, and the ability to coordinate R&D across academia and industry. While some governments are focused more on healthcare or military applications, the robotics advancements they fund could benefit the entire world.

…it has raised $850,000 (U.S.) in pre-seed funding. Copenhagen, Denmark-based RiACT was founded in 2018. The company's founders had worked with major European automotive manufacturers for 10 years, recalled Magnus Philip Ritzau, co-founder and chief commercial officer of RiACT. They realized that one of the biggest problems with scaling robotics projects was a lack of software homogeneity for easily setting up applications. “Applications were not universal, reusable, or flexible,” Ritzau told Robotics 24/7. “Most collaborative robots are still fenced and are only doing one task. We see a need for robots that can be flexible and adaptive to multiple kinds…

…Sweden and Finland, Varner also operates stores in Iceland, Denmark, Austria and Germany. All of the stores and e-commerce customers are supplied from the central logistics center in Vänersborg. Planning for the new facility began in 2013. Prior to that, each of the retail chains operated their own distribution networks independent of each another. These operated from 10 different manual warehouses in Northern Europe, all operated by 3PLs. While the supply chain had evolved over the years, it had become too complex and inefficient to address Varner’s changing needs. What’s more, Varner did not have the level of control it…

…while and tried to mix AGVs and AMRs.” “In Denmark, hospitals are diversifying their fleets,” he added. “For example, one is using AGVs for laundry or heavier items in hallways, and it is using MiR100s or MiR250s to deliver supplies to rooms. It's now thinking of using more robots for disinfection or automated beds.” “I think the market will get bigger when it comes to robotics applications on the street, like street cleaners, parcel deliveries, and some autonomous vehicles,” said von der Burg. “Businesses are beginning to realize that rather than wait for one vendor to do it all, they…
