…vendor has its own software package. The dream of interoperability is that it will streamline the setup and monitoring process for customers. “I think all of a sudden, everyone is highly incentivized to figure out how to make their robot play nice with other systems,” said Pestoni. “I think that's a positive trend. To me, it showcases that the industry is maturing.” The market has grown in the past five years, and customers no longer see AMRs as novelties, he added. With a vast array of options to choose from, it's increasingly likely that customers might have a range of…

…products faster, the companies report. The new collaboration advances interoperability between EOS and Ansys technologies. As a member of the EOS Developer Network, Ansys will enhance user AM processes via Ansys simulations and expedite printing by sending jobs directly to EOS' 3D printing systems. Additionally, to enhance simulation fidelity, Ansys simulations integrate EOS-specific data by leveraging EOS' open-source application program interfaces. This integration will help improve part geometries by predicting and compensating for distortion and other issues to reduce build failure and upgrade manufacturing processes to increase productivity. It will also improve material property selection by forecasting how design changes…

…optimisation software and underlines our commitment to openness and interoperability with third party products,” says Dr. Hendrik Schafstall, CEO and managing director at Simufact. “With the integration of the QuantAM build processor, we can provide an end-to-end build optimisation process, helping the users of Renishaw systems to produce AM components with repeatable dimensional accuracy right first time.” The collaboration extends to improving the simulation process itself. The increasing adoption of multi-laser LPBF systems for production applications presents new simulation challenges. Faster energy input from multiple lasers means that metal components often experience higher temperatures during the printing process, affecting their…

…be dedicated to the entire value stream. AI and interoperability What's the role of artificial intelligence in automating processes and working with employees in multipurpose fulfillment centers? Kohli: GreyMatter is built with the understanding that humans and robots are going to coexist. With large-scale systems, we take the robot as not as perfectly reliable as a big machine would be. With humans in the loop, it can be over 95% accurate, and GreyMatter takes a feedback loop 100 times a second. Human pick rates change, depending on the shape and size of the goods they're handing and the individual pickers.…

…$6.4 billion raised in June 2021. With fleet management, interoperability, training via simulation, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence growing in importance to robotics, it should come as little surprise that software firms participated in $754 million worth of transactions last month. That was more than double of the previous month. The global market for robot software will grow from $4.27 billion in 2020 to $47.24 billion by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.3%, according to Allied Market Research. Research and Markets predicted that the market will grow at a CAGR of 45.5% from 2021 to 2026, thanks…

…worker about what work needs to be done.” Expanding interoperability Jan Nicolay, global account director of logistics at Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), said the company has been able to take advantage of 5G technology to expand the coverage area of its AMRs. No longer will customers need to rely solely on Wi-Fi to get their robot to operate properly. “All the sites we are going into do, of course, have Wi-Fi, but often when we do a site audit, we do identify some areas where the coverage is slow or the signal is weak. Therefore, 5G is really an enabler…

…As a result, organizations are facing major challenges with interoperability between devices and machines that use different protocols and architecture. They’re often dealing with multiple vendors with multiple, disparate IoT hardware and sensor solutions. So how do you bring it all together? Establishing a common IoT platform for the data stream will allow multiple sensor technologies to communicate seamlessly; this is what Tapestry’s Enterprise Sensor Integration (ESI) is all about. Why is Enterprise Sensor Integration so Appealing? It all boils down to situational awareness: Manufacturing and supply chain operations want complete visibility of their enterprises, not spreadsheet reports. They need…

…addition to ease of use, standards for safety and interoperability are crucial to encouraging businesses to use robotics. “Safety is critical,” Burnstein said. “The Washington Post recently talked to me and Boston Dynamics, and it reported that one of the main barriers to robot butlers in the home is the technology for working in different environments is still not there yet.” “Standards are always going to be a critical issue,” said Burnstein. “We're working on standards for communications among mobile robots.” Source: A3 “For interoperability, we're working with groups like MassRobotics and the ARM [Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing] Institute,” he…

…grow in warehouses and elsewhere, concerns have arisen around interoperability among robots from multiple vendors. Locus, Waypoint, 6 River Systems, InOrbit, Mobile Industrial Robots, Vecna Robotics, and FedEx participated in MassRobotics' AMR Interoperability Working Group, said Saad. At the AMR and Logistics Conference held by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) in Memphis in October, the working group conducted the first demonstration of a standard for communications among mobile robots. The group plans to address batteries and power management next, Saad noted. He added that MassRobotics will address climate change and robotics in the coming year. “We have a lot…
