…as they seek tools to help protect their employees, inventory, and bottom line.” Advanced dynamic stability keeps PIT operators in control Through Reliant, Yale’s advanced dynamic stability system automatically applies interventions in response to compromised stability, when machine vision detects obstacles in the path of travel or in close proximity, and even based on rules customers specify for certain areas of their warehouse. Adjustments such as a reduction to travel speed or smoothing of fork lift or tilt movement are carefully measured to avoid abrupt shifts or jerks that can upset stability. Yale said Reliant keeps the operator in ultimate…

…for Mission Capabilities, commissioned Nauticus to adapt the company’s inventory of commercialized technologies and to quickly develop a new autonomous mine countermeasure robot for use in surf zones and beach areas to support the U.S. Marine Corps during amphibious operations. Nauticus' implementation includes a robot capable of not only swimming, but also crawling out of the surf and onto the beach. The solution uses the company’s autonomous command and control software platform, toolKITT. It also combines several technologies such as machine vision, autonomous mission planning, and acoustic data networking onto an amphibious robotic vehicle hull that can collect intelligence and…

…in 2024. While many ERP platforms include modules for inventory control and supply chain management, in light of the outbreak, many manufacturers will also turn to specialist providers. Larner adds, “Supply chain orchestration requires software to be more than a system of record and provide risk analysis and run simulations, enabling manufacturers to understand and prepare for supply chain shocks.” Industry 4.0 has received much attention; however, the focus has been on the activities inside the factory gates. “But investments in robotics or IoT sensors and the like assume that assembly lines receive a steady flow of raw materials. COVID-19…

…on everything from groceries to consumer electronics, where strict inventory management is paramount. Today, online shoppers can order goods 24/7, with an increasing number of retailers offering next-day delivery. This quick turnaround puts massive pressure on warehouse operations in terms of goods in and goods out, material handling, and pick and pack operations. Enter, the autonomous mobile robot—or AMR, such as this example—and, more recently, autonomous drones – with intelligent sensor technologies being the key enabler to both. Steady adoption of smarter warehouse automation Against this backdrop, automated guided vehicles—AGVs, such as these from VisionNav—have been a mainstay in moving…

…than AGVs, which move along fixed routes. Delivery, hospitality, inventory, and self-driving forklifts are examples of self-navigating robots. Drones: Also known as uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), these robots use software-controlled flight plans that work with GPS. Drones are used in various fields like surveying, delivery services, and agriculture. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs): These robots function in underwater environments for applications like oceanography, oil and gas exploration, and archaeology. Prospective users should evaluate the mobile robots whose designs best address the demands of the task at hand. Mobile robots can provide multiple benefits AMRs and related systems can help businesses in…
