…drone.” Furthermore, drone-based technology has to work within existing infrastructure and labeling practices to lead to widespread adoption. PINC started developing PINC Air indoor inventory technology in 2014 based on its outdoor technology used for tracking inventory in equipment and storage yards. The technology operates autonomously, taking off and landing from the same location automatically, and avoids any obstructions in its flight path. It surveys large areas of densely packed assets for inventory reconciliation or to pinpoint the location of specific inventory. Download the White Paper: The Rise of the Digital Yard The system blends optical sensors and machine learning…

…to meet their item requirements and the 3D printing infrastructure needed to produce custom items at the desired production scale,” Sappin says. Canoo’s modular “skateboard” is a universal underbody upon which many different vehicle “cabins” can sit. Image Courtesy of Dassault Systèmes The 3DEXPERIENCE platform also delivers capabilities that foster personalization in product design, he adds. The platform’s extensive simulation capabilities, including the ability to explore electromagnetic interference created by web-enabled sensors, is critical for design exploration before a physical prototype is built. The platform’s data management and analysis capabilities allow product teams to uncover insights from a vast repository…
