…established technologies—ultra-wide-band tags, lidar contour mapping, line-guidance sensors, and infrastructure sensors—record either their own positions or the positions of the desired objects. Depending on the application as well as the positioning accuracy and update rate required, users can select the right technology or combine various technologies. Localization technology is a key factor in achieving the type of networked production needed for digital transformation, said SICK. It can be used for agile process planning to optimization production, it added. Localization data can also give companies an understanding of all production-related assets, load carriers, and loading equipment. They can then optimize and…

…to run, scale, and automate simulation without managing any infrastructure. RoboMaker Simulation WorldForge makes it possible to automatically create hundreds of pre-defined, randomized worlds that replicate real-world conditions without investing in engineering or managing world-generation infrastructure, said AWS. Miso will be able to deploy Flippy 2 and Flippy Lite through testing configurations in the cloud, said AWS. The company said RoboMaker simplifies the process by validating the simulations to build a stable baseline for any new architecture or software updates. In addition, comparing the performance of the units in a simulated role to the metrics of those in the field…
