…validation of a challenging metal component being manufactured by Honeywell Aerospace using laser bed powder fusion. The conclusion: “This work has demonstrated that a combination of physics-based modeling and experimental verification and validation can enable early-stage identification and elimination of potential problems.” PrintRite3D is platform independent, it can work with most existing metal AM systems. Using it means you gain an independent third-party source for Quality Assurance. You can retrofit PrintRite3D to existing AM installations or integrate it into new purchases, and the platform is compatible with existing OEM supplied sensors. Here’s how the process works. The software modules acquire…

…upon with the customer or exceed it,” he said. Honeywell invests in software for smart robots Pick-and-place automation is very software-driven, using machine learning (ML) smarts to enable the solution to adjust to variations in SKUs or packaging. That means the efficacy of pick-and-place robots in the real world rests heavily on software expertise. To support this, Honeywell Robotics has invested in software-related “building blocks” for robotics, said Thomas Evans, CTO of the unit of Honeywell Intelligrated. For example, Honeywell’s Smart Flexible Depalletizer, launched in September, features a robotic arm and AMRs from partners to transport pallets. The robotics control…

…an autonomous forklift and has partnered with Siemens and Honeywell. The company also recently released analytics software to provide greater visibility into materials handling processes. Last month, OTTO Motors said Guidance Automation Ltd. has become the first reseller of its AMRs in the U.K. “Often, automation is seen as a complex disruption which will completely overhaul existing processes—particularly for SMEs [small and midsize enterprises],” said Paul Rivers, managing director of Guidance Automation. “But logistics businesses do not need to completely understand or have the skills and knowledge to achieve automation success.” “Instead, we will be doing this for the customer,”…

…of Retrotech, Egemin and Dematic by Kion; Intelligrated by Honeywell; and Toyota’s acquisition of Bastian and Vanderlande. But it doesn’t stop there. Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal reported that “Plug Power granted Amazon the right to buy up to 20 percent of its shares” based on meeting contract goals. While Kion, Intelligrated and Toyota are taking different approaches to the market, in conversations with their executives, they each predicted an increase in R&D spending that will benefit their individual companies but also the industry – and increase the clockspeed. New business models: The traditional industry business model is that a company…

RAPID+TCT panel on Trends in Additive Manufacturing included leaders from Ford, Honeywell Aerospace, Jabil and Siemens. Dulchinos kicked things off with an obstacle. “One of the challenges today is if you design for additive you don’t have a backup plan to go produce in a traditional manufacturing process. That’s problematic, because there isn’t really a rich supply chain today. We’re really big advocates around open systems, around having partnerships and ecosystems that come together to set standards and…

…quit, says Jason Franklin, director of product management with Honeywell Intelligrated (pictured right). With Honeywell’s LMS, machine learning technology is being used to more accurately predict employee attribution based on historic separations. “The software considers the behaviors individuals in a facility tend to exhibit right before they quit and match it to people who may be in a similar scenario, that allows time to set up an engagement model that could help us avoid that separation and the costs involved.” Work execution insights Lucas Systems isn’t an LMS vendor, but its “Work Execution” software optimizes processes and gives supervisors tools…

…picking, retrieving, replenishment, or transferring of bulk stock. Also, Honeywell’s Momentum WES utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms and data-driven optimization techniques to solve warehouse automation. The Honeywell Robotics subsidiary offers AMRs from OTTO Motors with Momentum. How do warehouse systems work with robots? Here are some specific examples of how warehouse management control (WMC) and other software can work with robotics: A WMC system can instruct an ASRS to store and retrieve items within a warehouse. For example, when a customer places an order, the WMC can direct an ASRS to retrieve and transport items to a picking station. A…
