…like what SVT Robotics has brought to the market? Will it be from the likes of Apple, Google, or Microsoft? I’m betting on the new layer of software, and I think it’s essential to moving robotics forward in our space. Those are some of the questions I want to see explored at this year’s NextGen Supply Chain Conference in Chicago.

…software, APIs, and frameworks for generative AI running on Microsoft's Azure cloud using real-time factory data and 5G networking, enabling collaboration among multiple users around the world. “Everything is ray-traced. We do everything in CAD; no art is necessary,” Huang said. “It's one source of data across your company.” He mentioned that NVIDIA is working with WPP to build an advertising content engine using Omniverse (see video below). “Accelerated computing and generative AI—this form of computing is not like general-purpose computing,” said Huang. “It's full-stack, data center-scale, and domain-specific. We're extending it in multiple directions, from the cloud to digital…

…derived from cloud-based robotic operations. It has worked with Microsoft for supply chain management on the Azure cloud platofrm, and it recently partnered with FoodX for grocery fulfillment. “If you start to look at certain parameters, AI can suggest where to tune things,” Dickinson said. “For example, if the total open order pool is 60% of stated throughput, there's no reason to run it at 100%, or you could reduce the speed to delay maintenance windows.” “How can we get more throughput out of fixed assets—anything that can touch items, such as lift trucks, conveyors, or operators?” he asked. “Most…

…rugged cases for iPads and rugged computer/enclosure bundles for Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 computers. They added tablets after the introduction of the iPad in 2009, when customers came to them with stories of trying—and failing—to use tablets in factory settings. Once MobileDemand got a few years of experience under their belt selling tablets for manufacturing environments, they commissioned a study comparing the use of consumer-grade and ruggedized mobile devices. Findings include: The average organization budgets for a mobile computing device to be useful for 3.5 years, yet less than one in five non-rugged devices last that long. Rugged mobile computing…

…low cost of computing, powerful but lower priced sensors, Microsoft opening up the Windows API – it’s core set of application programming interfaces - and “a lot of new open source codes that has enabled new libraries to classify and utilize data.” Parrott believes the early wins in this space are going to come “from modifications to goods-to-person solutions that become goods-to-robot solutions” and that the long-term winners are going to be “the early adopters who take a slow approach to implementation.” So, what is the state of piece picking robots? I spoke to three startups with projects that have…

…backdrop. The use of AI has already crept into average consumer tech, evident in iPhone's personal assistant Siri and Microsoft's Cortana, and in Google's autocompletion of user sentences. NVIDIA's betting it will become part of enterprise workflow, largely driven by the parallel-processing power of the GPU. The acquisition, new products, and featured speakers at the NVIDIA's GTC reinforces this belief. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang introduces the JETSON Nano, a $99 AI computer for the maker community.

…but it worked out really well. We moved to Microsoft Teams, and more importantly, we engaged with our customers and support teams and showed them the cool things we do in automation. There's a desire to understand how it would look in their environments. UR also had to move quickly to show customers cool innovations as we did at events. To that end, we now have 80 sites around the world that do training with our partners. We invited customers in, and fortunately, they rated it very highly. The sites for training vary by country. Sometimes, Universal Robots opens its…
