…concerned about the depletion of available space for future infrastructure growth. Therefore, Sargento sought a solution that would increase the DC's capacity and extend its life. Critical to this strategy was the desire to couple the manufacturing process with the warehouse, thereby ensuring that no product was being double-handled, or worse, moved to off-site storage. The construction and transition plan to use the existing DC extended the overall schedule, but the savings associated with keeping all distribution activities under one roof were too high to ignore, said Westfalia. As a first step, the team determined important data points, including the…

…won a NASA contract to develop technology for industrial infrastructure inspection. The company provided its systems to the K-MAX TITAN, which Kaman Air Vehicles described as “the world's first heavy-lift, unmanned helicopter for the commercial market.” The U.S. Marine Corps planned to test the K-MAX TITAN this month. Understand the applications “Users don't care how you got the data. Nobody wants a point cloud for its own sake,” said Barry Rabkin, director of marketing at Near Earth Autonomy. “We realized that it's not about the drones or the autonomy but the customer value enabled through the drone.” “When we talk…

…for floor tape, wires, magnets, or other cumbersome facility infrastructure. AMRs not only present opportunities for increased productivity and faster returns on investment (ROI), but they can provide safer working conditions and reduce or even eliminate the need for workers to: Perform dull and repetitive material movement tasks that result in distraction, fatigue, and ultimately injuries. Operate large-scale equipment that uses force at high speeds near people. Unlike AMRs, manual forklifts, production equipment, and other industrial machinery lack vision and sensing equipment to stop motion when a person’s body or limbs get in the way. Lift and transfer heavy items:…

…tasks. There is tremendous interest from power generation, construction, infrastructure maintenance and repair, and oil and gas. My personal gut instinct is that the Guardian XT will be an even bigger hit in its early hears than the XO. There are no issues of training operators or walking around with it. We'll see higher volumes of Guardian XTs shipping in the first few years, then it will flip on its head with the Guardian XO. Imagine in a pre-hurricane situation, where utilities are trying to cut as many tree limbs as they can, but it's still rainy and cold. But…
