…Unlike information technology (IT) cybersecurity that protects, for instance, credit card data from being stolen, industrial cybersecurity defends critical infrastructure—such as power plants, utilities, transportation networks, water and wastewater treatment facilities—from being damaged and disabled. The industrial automation and control systems (IACS) that operate these plants and facilities are highly susceptible to cyberwarfare. A cyberattack can shut down and severely disrupt safe plant and facility operations, putting the environment and economy as well as lives in jeopardy.

…of an existing product or by adding additional outdoor infrastructure, such as custom poles featuring reflectors, according to BlueBotics. As a result, outdoor installations of AGVs and AMRs have often been highly customized (and therefore expensive), and more complex and time-consuming to install than equivalent indoor projects, it said. BlueBotics integrates indoor-outdoor systems ANT everywhere works with GNSS. Source: BlueBotics ANT everywhere overcomes this challenge by adding GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) navigation with real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning, said BlueBotics. It claimed that the combination makes outdoor AGV and AMR operations just as robust and precise as those indoors. When…
