…to be performed, environmental constraints and energy budgets to programming flexibility, throughput requirements and cost. Designed to bring intelligence to the edge, FogHorn Systems’ edge lighting software promises to support sensor fusion, simultaneously processing multiple streams of different types of data. In addition, the company says the 2.0 version of the software supports the Predictive Model Mark Up Language, which enables compliant machine learning models to be run at the edge.

…software like a warehouse management system (WMS) using application programming interfaces (APIs), but also be capable of being quickly set up standalone. The software platform for most robotics solutions also employs AI to constantly learn from operations and dynamically adapt to tasks and routes as the work unfolds. “The most important part of a solution is the software, which is AI-based software that is real-time in nature,” says Cashman. Robotics software, he adds, should be able to adjust tasks on the fly, based on factors like what’s currently coming into the order pool, where each robot is, and the current…

…in combination with robot software, to test the robot’s programming in a virtual environment before building out the physical machine reduces risks of having quality issues to fix afterwards. While this can vastly accelerate the development timeline, it can also drastically cut costs for building and testing robots and AI models while ensuring safety. In addition, robot simulation can help connect robots with business systems, such as inventory databases, so a robot knows where an item is located. Simulation of cobots, or robots working with humans, promises to reduce injuries and make jobs easier, enabling more efficient delivery of all…

…Notch and 6RS worked remotely to build the application programming interface (API) and integrate the systems. Initial deployment done in phases The project got under way in May 2020. When the robots arrived in Carson City, 6 River Systems gave the Top Notch maintenance team remote instructions on how to set them up. The Nevada facility went first because Top Notch was in the midst of moving into its new DC in Missouri. The rollout took about three weeks because of the pandemic, according to Houlihan. “We had to quarantine about a third of our warehouse staff for a brief…
