…herbicide on weeds and fertilizer on crops with similar precision to inkjet printers. This precise targeting can reduce chemical usage by more than 90%, resulting in cost savings to the farmer and fewer harmful chemicals in the soil, said the business. In cotton, Blue River said its robots can radically reduce the amount of herbicide needed to defeat resistant weeds while improving yields. With lettuce, the robots determine how to best allocate resources to grow lettuce and autonomously thins the crop to maximize yield. Deere noted that its acquisition Bear Flag expands its presence in Silicon Valley, where Blue River…

For many, supply chain priorities are centred around speed, precision and safety – all at the same time exploring ways to reduce the total cost of ownership of any investments. Australia Post recently unveiled some staggering statistics around online retail uptake in Australia. Data from the nation’s parcel service revealed Australians spent an incredible $50.5 billion online last year. As the volumes continue to grow, retailers and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) are competing on faster fulfilment, last mile delivery and stock visibility. A key differentiator in this highly competitive environment is the ability to make quick decisions not only cope…

…reduce labor costs, work around the clock, and add precision to certain tasks. The robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model enables companies to pay for hardware, software, and services as an operational expense rather than an upfront purchase. Increase productivity: Robots may take up less space than human workers or human-driven vehicles, which is crucial when warehouses are running at capacity. In goods-to-person applications, well-managed workflows can combine human flexibility with robotic precision for greater throughput. Some warehouse managers have reported a significant boost in productivity. Safety: Warehouse workers often face repetitive stress, extreme temperatures, and even high-voltage environments. Forklifts are involved in…
