…defense, homeland security, and other security applications. InfiniDome Ltd., Honeywell Aerospace, and Easy Aerial Inc. yesterday announced the Robust Navigation System, which integrates GPS anti-jamming technology, a radar velocity system, and an inertial navigation system. The companies claimed that the technology is the first resilient system allowing drones to not only safely operate, but also successfully complete their missions, even in GPS-challenged or fully denied environments. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), from a 20-lb. Class 1 multicopter to a 150-lb. Class 3 fixed-wing drone, rely almost entirely on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for the most basic navigation functionality, particularly…

…devices, says Scot Stelter, director of offering management for Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services. Keyed devices will still be part of the mix, he asserts. However, he fully expects these and touchscreen devices to be the two dominant form factors going forward. That said, not all devices are created equal. As Stelter explains, the warehouse mobility device market is divided into two camps. One focuses on upfront cost while the other on a lower cost of ownership. Such a split is hardly unique in capital expenditures, but it means that mobile device selection falls into two buckets. One is lower…

…its Teachers’ Innovation Platform (TIP), along with existing investor Honeywell, brings the company’s total funding to $82.7 million. The funds will be used to further accelerate Attabotics’ commercial deployment, invest in new technologies, scale manufacturing operations, and more. Inspired by ant colonies, Attabotics’ system condenses a traditional warehouse into a single, vertical storage structure. Inside the structure, robotic shuttles move in three-dimensional space (X, Y, and Z axes) to store and deliver goods to workers on the perimeter who pick, pack and ship orders. Attabotics’ single structure also significantly reduces a retailer’s warehouse footprint (by up to 85%, according to…

…to increase,” said Thomas Evans, chief technology officer at Honeywell Robotics. “In the past year, we’ve seen an increase in the demand for automation, particularly around robots that use machine learning [ML] and artificial intelligence.” “Quantifying the impact and improvements can most easily be estimated by the efficiencies and increased scope of robotics in autonomous pick-and-place tasks,” he added. “The improvements most readily tied to increasing the number of products and SKU variations a robot system can visualize and handle in warehouse and DC [distribution center] operations.” In addition, Thomas explained, “improvements are made when AI solutions are exposed to…

…acquisition for faster bin picking and line tracking capability. Honeywell Honeywell’s Smart Flexible Depalletizer, first unveiled the week before Pack Expo, includes a robotic arm guided by advanced vision and perception technologies, enabling cases to be picked from a single- or mixed-SKU pallet on a fixed or mobile location. The computer vision technology identifies the exact location of every case on the pallet, while perception software automatically recognizes a wide variety of packaging to allow for seamless handling of a continuous flow of pallets in any sequence without requiring any pre-programming or operator intervention. The advanced machine learning and motion…
