…company, which has offices in Virginia, Colorado, and the Netherlands. The vision system also detects packaging problems such double wraps or bad product size. The carton loader can pick and place any product count or configuration. FANUC At Pack Expo, FANUC featured a few different vision-enhanced robots. The CRX-10iA/L collaborative robot used its iRVision 3DV/200 vision sensor to locate a box, pick it up from one pallet, and place it on another pallet. The CRX cobot supports several of FANUC’s advanced features, including the company’s iRVision technology. The same technology was part of FANUC’s DR-3iB/8L food-grade delta robot, which also…

…wide variety of shoes. In its warehouse in Neede, Netherlands, TORU, a picking robot developed by the robotics firm Magazino, uses a 3D camera and a variety of sensors, to work autonomously every day, all day. The robot can be programmed for inbound, as well as outbound warehouse traffic and logistics. It's an ideal solution that helps meet orders during peak seasons and keep the flow of order fulfillment moving, day and night. Using vacuum grippers, the robot grabs hold of individual shoe boxes from shelves, sorts them correctly, and concurrently replaces the void that it created with more inventory.…

…health and beauty retailer. In that deployment in the Netherlands, more than a dozen robots from IAM Robotics will manage about 50% of the facility’s e-commerce picking, according to Galluzzo. Recently, I asked Galluzzo about that evolution. He told me that at the time of the company’s founding, he was working on a project to do autonomous manipulation for DARPA – think a robot that would combine the mobility of an AMR with the picking capability of a robotic arm. “I was excited about the commercialization prospects for the technology and started thinking about simple material handling,” he recalled. Around…

…including AI research in France, customer-service robots in Singapore, drones and assistive systems in Israel, marine systems in the Netherlands, and collaborative robot arms and mobile robots from Denmark. And that's not even counting the billions of dollars currently flowing into autonomous vehicle development, with China and the U.S. as early leaders. As each country and region seeks robotics leadership, common themes include technological innovation, manufacturing competitiveness, and the ability to coordinate R&D across academia and industry. While some governments are focused more on healthcare or military applications, the robotics advancements they fund could benefit the entire world.

…KNAPP robotic arm that we've been trialing in the Netherlands. It can determine on its own what it's picking up, from a feather to a car battery. This has great potential to partially automate packing environments. We've deployed Cognex scanners across sites, and they've increased productivity by 5% to 20%. They allow warehouse associates to work hands-free. If the scanners cut down scan time by 1 second per scan, at 100 million scans per year, these scanners save 27,000 man-hours. Operators can get their return on investment [ROI] in one year. We've deployed nearly 400 ProGlove wearable scanners in European…

…officially opened today in Amsterdam. Queen Máxima of the Netherlands participated in the ceremony in the city's oldest neighborhood. Dutch startup MX3D proposed the architectural project in 2015 using its large-scale, robotic 3D printing technology. “When we started with the concept, the bridge was more than 100 times bigger than any part ever 3D-printed in metal, and now [that] it’s finished, I still have good reasons to believe the bridge will remain the largest metal printed object for years to come,” said Gijs van der Velden, co-founder and CEO of MX3D. From design to 'living laboratory' The project was funded…

…transporting roses and avocados traveling from Kenya to the Netherlands. The journey took 34 days – 10 of which were idle waiting for paperwork. A Maersk executive told Bloomberg Reporter Kyunghee Park, “The paperwork and processes vital to global trade are also one of its biggest burdens. The paper trail research that Maersk did uncover the extent of the burden that documents and processes inflict on trade and the consequences.” Maersk has commissioned IBM to monitor its cargo and documents in real-time, using blockchain. The litany of required customs documentation is costly and just plain burdensome. The good news is…
