…steady, high-accuracy operations, even around farms with weak Internet infrastructure, said XAG. XAG has also upgraded the three task systems on both P100 and V50 to further improve efficiency and precision for various applications. The XAG RevoSpray 2.0 system includes “intelligent rotary atomization technology” that can accurately spray fine droplets between 40 and 600 μm and therefore greatly cut down the use of pesticides, it said. The XAG RevoCast 2.0 system was redesigned with dual vertical centrifugal discs and a new smart screw feeder that can achieve a broadcast efficiency of 80 kg (175 lb.) of urea per minute. In…

…operate safely alongside shoppers and employees and doesn't require infrastructure changes to stores, said Simbe. It added that Tally is designed to be easy to use and to fit into retail environments. Tally can scan entire stores up to three times per day and provide timely information to associates, added the company. Simbe said its cloud-powered software, in combination with computer vision and machine learning, can help retailers streamline store performance, maximize customer satisfaction, increase sales, and optimize operational expenditures. Simbe touts accomplishments Since launching Tally, Simbe said it has “made significant strides” in refining its retail automation. In 2020,…

…already a problem. Now, with stuff changing so fast, fixed-infrastructure automation is not as attractive as it used to be. It has a place to be sure, but we recently talked with a customer about a warehouse full of conveyors. 'It's five miles of the most expensive scrap metal,' they said. It can't be moved to new facilities like robots. A big part of our Mark 3 message is that it and our AMRs can close the gap between humans and robots for pallet-handling applications for greater throughput. You mentioned the speed update—how fast can AMRs with the Mark 3…

…U.S. annually and billions of dollars to repair the infrastructure. “Experts around the world are unanimous in saying that robotization of railway operations can solve the problem of traffic safety,” said Uskova. “The locomotive driver profession is one of the most difficult and dangerous—you have to work to the limit. Robots can take away the driver's routine workload and provide assistance in emergency situations.” “When our Cognitive Rail Pilot goes into mass production, we are confident that the level of safety in railway maneuvering operations will rise to a whole new level, with incidents falling by up to 70%,” she…

…shortest time possible, ABB said. Operators need the right infrastructure for maximum flexibility that can pick and handle a wide variety of goods in the widest range of combinations and in the shortest possible time. The IRB 390 FlexPacker robot is available as a four- and five-axis variant delta robot. It is 35% faster than the IRB 360-8/1130 FlexPicker, with a 45% increase in reachable volume and a payload of up to 15 kg, said ABB. Distribution centers need their robots to be operational with minimal downtime to meet tight logistics schedules. ABB’s new Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) service, announced at…

…supply chain tech, thanks mainly to availability and reduced infrastructure demands. Cloud services also give companies a lot of processing power on-the-go. The next step in this evolution is likely to be the adoption of robotics and automation tools, as well as predictive analytics. Robotic process automation (RPA) is a prime target for an initial investment. This is where you show a bot how to complete a task, and then it follows the exact same steps each subsequent time it is needed. You can turn a manual, intense, time-consuming task into something that happens at lightning speed. Plus, there is…
