Warehouse labor challenges continue to support a strong case for automation. Competition for a limited labor pool is driving annual warehouse turnover to nearly 50%, while year-over-year wage increases of 11% keep driving costs higher. But adopting automation is no simple task. A truly effective order fulfillment system requires assembling the right mix of material handling technologies and software – and seamlessly integrating them to work in sync. So, when planning to invest in automation, what technologies should you consider?

Benteler EV Systems GmbH, Beep Inc., and Mobileye Vision Technology Ltd. this week announced a partnership to develop and produce fully electric and autonomous shuttle buses in North America. The companies plan to have the people movers on public roadways by 2024. The trio said the partnership will be fruitful because each company has years of experience in different aspects of autonomous vehicle development. The SAE Level 4 self-driving shuttle will be built by Benteler EV Systems and be underpinned by Mobileye’s Mobileye Drive autonomy system. Beep's deployment and operations systems, technology, and services will support the shuttles, according to…

The power of video in robot monitoring Video telemetry is a powerful information source used to understand the context in which you’re operating. At Formant we’ve worked to maximize the utilization of human visual recognition by bringing tools specifically tailored for video telemetry in robotics. Why video matters Video is incredibly important for understanding operations in particular. Identification of visual entities around your machine is only one part of vision data. Like any investigation, we try to answer who, what, when, where, why, and how. Video is what enables us to understand the time dimension of how a robot interaction…

In early 2000, Dr. Karthik Ramani experimented with a shape-based search system that allows engineers to use visual references to identify and search for mechanical objects, but it soon became clear to him the computing power was insufficient. Twenty years later, with far more computing power at his disposal, he revived the project, applying machine learning (ML) to crawl through a database of gearboxes, bearings, brakes, clutches, motors, nuts, bolts, and washers. The outcome is an open-source annotated database of more than 58,000 3D mechanical parts. Using machine learning to sort mechanical parts Ramani, a Distinguished Professor in Mechanical Engineering…
