…their roadmap for helping customers integrate robotics. Last month, MHI accepted the company into its SLAM Industry Group. (In this case, SLAM refers to “scan, label, apply, and manifest,” not simultaneous localization and mapping.) “The last 100 feet of the warehouse are critical for efficient operations, high throughput, and customer satisfaction,” stated enVista. Robotics 24/7 recently spoke with Dennis Andre, director of enVista, and Tom Stretar, vice president of technology at enVista, about SLAM line automation. Getting started with SLAM line automation How would you define SLAM line automation? Dennis Andre, enVista Andre: In optimizing that last 100 feet of…

…see. Hats off to the staff and leadership at MHI for pulling off a tremendous event at a time when there’s still a lot of uncertainty in the air. Exhibitors display incremental innovation So, what was my biggest takeaway from Atlanta? There’s nothing new under the sun. Well, that’s not exactly true – and it’s not meant as a criticism. On the new front, I saw a conveyance system powered by magnets at Beckhoff Automation that I’m still trying to wrap my head around. It’s called the XPlaner, and it’s easier to watch a video than for me to explain…

…IAM Robotics was one of the four finalists for MHI’s Innovation of the Year award. “We got some good attention that year,” Galluzzo recalled. The following year, the company’s first commercial robot went live at Rochester Drug Cooperative, where I watched it work flawlessly over a 3-hour period one evening in the summer of 2017. Robotics in warehousing and distribution have been on an upward trajectory since then. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and pure stationary piece-picking robots, like those from RightHand, have gotten faster acceptance than the solution combining the two that IAM Robotics brought to the market. In part,…

…navigation. Research shows high interest in robotics. According to MHI’s “2018 Annual Industry Study”, 65% of professionals surveyed now see robotics and automation as a major source of disruption and/or opportunity, up from 61% last year. Analyst firm Interact Analysis forecasts the market for autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and smart automatic guided vehicles (AGV) for logistics will grow from $300 million in 2017 to $3 billion by 2022, or roughly a 10-fold increase. “We are seeing true exponential growth now,” says Ash Sharma, a research director for Interact Analysis. “While numerous companies have been doing pilot projects for the last…
