…CC1 leverages Internet of Things (IoT) technology — using elevators to move around floors in a building — as well as for connected devices like access controls and e-gates that make it possible to pass through a building automatically. The PUDU CC1 can work with motion sensors that track the volume of people entering a space and dispatch the robot for cleaning only if there is a need for it otherwise skip a task if not needed anymore. This approach to cleaning can significantly reduce the cost of machine wear, water, and cleaning agents for property managers. Designed with sustainability…

…in height, Wyzo can fit through standard doors and elevators. It can easily be moved from one workstation to another, eliminating bottlenecks and enabling fast returns on investment, claimed the company. For manufacturers switching between products, Wyzo is highly compatible with currently available grippers with changeover speeds of less than nine seconds. It also offers integrated pneumatic, electric and vacuum controls, Wyzo said. HMI streamlined for collaboration Wyzo said its human-machine interface (HMI) is simplified for intuitive use by operators with no prior training in automation. Its mobile terminal is as easy to operate as a smartphone, said the company,…

…has one to two miles of conveyors, and 30 elevators in four stories. The elevators are completely automated, and the facility runs GreyMatter at the core. The system runs online order processing and cross-dock operations. Funding, partnerships, and industry challenges GreyOrange obtained growth financing earlier this year; how are its expansion and partnerships in the Americas going? Kohli: We're growing quite fast, and North America is a core market for us. We're also doing well elsewhere, with Sodimac in South America and Apotek Hjärtat in Sweden. Our partnership with Sistemo is expanding, and we just announced another partnership with Dafiti…

…expanded operational coverage due to its ability to utilize elevators to move between floors. Six wheels with independent suspension provide excellent stability, enabling CLOi ServeBot to transport beverages over uneven surfaces without any significant spillage. For user convenience, the CLOi ServeBot’s doors can be set to open or close automatically during operation. LG CLOi ServeBot can even tell when a delivery has been completed, as camera sensors built into its internal compartments detect when items have been removed. Thanks to an AI algorithm, the new model can safely navigate around obstacles, determine the optimal route to its destination(s) and communicate…

…external air supply required. The OnRobot Lift100 is an elevator with a total payload of 100 kg (220 lb.) that provides a seventh axis for cobot and lightweight industrial robot brands; TÜV-certified stop-functionality facilitates safe and effective collaborative deployments; provides safe and precise positioning, even at high speeds. The OnRobot Pallet Station is a floor-mounted pallet fixtures designed to ensure consistent positioning; each comes with a built-in sensor for detecting pallet presence. Manual palletizing is a labor intensive, repetitive, and “unergonomic” task, which makes it an ideal candidate for automation, the company argues. Palletizing automation increases productivity and throughput and…

…the multi-agent approach. It's important to view what humans, elevators, and conveyors do. We also have visibility into Wi-Fi routers and RFID. We recently launched the gStore app under GreyMatter, which gives you real-time inventory visibility in a retail store. How does GreyMatter handle software integration? Kohli: Usually, we're integrated with two or three upstream systems like WMS [warehouse management systems], ERP [enterprise resource planning], or a shipping system module. In addition to the conveyors, there's one customer site where we actually manage about 25 elevators. This is all operating at scale. Most modern conveyor-belt systems are like PLCs and…
