…Krone's Volk. Spelle, Germany-based Krone manufactures agricultural machinery and precision farming technology. The family-owned business' flagship products include the BiG M self-propelled high-performance mower conditioner and BiG X forage harvester. In addition, Krone said its product portfolio ranges from semi-trailers and refrigerated trailers to container chassis and the Rytle e-cargo bike. The company's machines are currently operating in more than 60 countries. “Apex.AI enables us to develop applications that are largely independent of the hardware used,” said Lemken's Nienhaus. “This accelerates the development process and reduces complexity.” Alpen, Germany-based Lemken said it has met farmers' demand for quality and innovation…

…recognize objects, take appropriate action, and place objects with precision. Interoperability: Integrates reliably with other warehouse automation technologies using OSARO’s modular RESTful API. Built in tracking: Tracks performance: built-in monitoring assesses and optimizes performance after installation. Shortens cycle time: OSARO’s superior vision capabilities shorten order cycle time to speed delivery and improve order accuracy. Eases labor issues: Addresses labor shortages and boosts production without adding headcount: complements and enhances existing systems with reliable vision so that they can perform 24/7—without training, breaks, injuries, or overtime. Lowers risk: Upfront assessments and multiple pricing options, including robot-as-a-service (RaaS), lower the risk of…

…“For multi-rotor it makes sense, because you don’t need precision but we need to produce the prototypes fast,” Kayacan continues. “We’re very happy with it in that case. I design something, we put the CAD model into the 3D printer, go home, and when we come to eh office the next day the part is ready.” Simulation and Data In May, the research term published a paper, “An Intelligent Hybrid Artificial Neural Network-Based Approach for Control of Aerial Robots,” in the Journal of Intelligent & Robotic Systems. It outlines a proposed hybrid control approach that would use AI to enhance…

…the system, we require an extremely high level of precision and repeatability,” Mersnik said. “This is why it was an important argument for us that Faulhaber was able to deliver this motor with a matching multiturn absolute encoder. The signals from this encoder are necessary to achieve the high production quality and for quality assurance.” At least 60 million fault-free strokes guaranteed by STIWA STIWA said longevity and long-term reliability of all components makes the real difference. The company guarantees its compact automation systems fault-free for at least 60 million strokes. This number must therefore also be achieved by all…

…meters per second and with a repeat accuracy of 0.8 millimeters. Roose adds: “We are really excited about the precision of the robolink®. We can be sure that the robot will work reliably all day long and not damage the precious chocolates.” Although Chocomatic has so far only been used at Roose’s Chocolate World, three more units have already been sold and are in production. “More and more chocolate shops and museums are realizing that the solution is a real crowd-puller.”

…connect and disconnect trailer brake lines, back semi-trailers with precision, interact safely with loading docks, and keep track of trailer locations throughout the yard, said the company. In addition, Outrider said its systems can help customers achieve their sustainability goals. Instead of automating legacy diesel vehicles, the company said it automates electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce fossil fuel use, lower energy and maintenance costs, and reduce emissions. Investors join board of directors FM Capital led Outrider's Series C round. New investors include a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and NVentures, NVIDIA’s venture capital arm. Outrider…

…for color, they're also looking for the geometry and precision of the crop. Our robots have gotten bigger and now have a boom. It now makes sense to cover more area—one robot can cover 400 acres per week, so we'll have a lot more data for next season. We'll have 30 units running in spring 2023. We did our first launch at the Farm Progress Show in Iowa at the end of August. We're focused on the sprayer robot for weeds in the U.S. for next season. What are some of the challenges Solinftec is still addressing? Ferreira: Some of…

Pipetting is a highly technical skill, requiring precision and repetition over potentially long periods of time. Without the proper training & execution — along with steady hands and a healthy dose of patience — pipetting results can vary wildly. Thankfully, many of the challenges with manual pipetting can be solved with automation. Read on to learn how automation is making pipetting easier, faster, and more reliable. What is pipetting? Pipetting is the process of using a pipette — a tube-shaped tool used to measure and dispense small amounts of liquid — to move liquid from one container to another, usually…

…the ground up for volume 3D-printing of homes with precision and speed, said ICON. The updated system can 3D-print homes and structures up to 3,000 sq. ft. (92.9 sq. m), 1.5 times larger and two times faster than the previous ICON Vulcan 3D printers. ICON debuted its new Exploration Series of homes “to cooperatively develop new design languages and architectural vernaculars with world-class architects.” The first home in the series, “House Zero,” was optimized and designed specifically for 3D printing. It features an elevated architectural and energy-efficient design that highlights the benefits of resiliency and sustainability only found in homebuilding…

…manual assembly. With Semplastics, a company that produces both precision plastic components and high-performance materials, Nano Dimension will demonstrate its versatility in materials development. The two companies will build complex ceramic test objects using Semplastics-developed ceramic materials blended into modified Nano Dimension 3D-printing resins. The goal is to rapidly and inexpensively produce lightweight objects featuring complex designs yet demonstrating high mechanical stability. Buy or Lease a DragonFly 2020 Pro 3D Printer Nano Dimension is growing its distribution network worldwide, having recently announced partnerships with Anglo Production Processes (UK and Ireland), CADvision (France, Belgium, Switzerland), Cadlog (Italy), Emona Instruments (Australia), and…
