The technology is mature and ready for the field, say experts

Advanced engineering could be the solution for the sustainable intensification of agriculture, as technology for producing service robots reaches maturity.

Experts in robotics from University of Cambridge, University of Lincoln and Harper Adams University will be discussing the latest developments during Agri-Tech East’s Pollinator event on 11 October 2016.

So what exactly is a robot?  [Read more…] about Robots emerging as agricultural co-workers

The Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) says it is committed to connecting smart manufacturing to the automation industry. 

Today’s business marketplace is becoming more agile and intelligent as manufacturing is transformed by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), says CSIA.

Smart manufacturing involves aligning information and communication technologies with US manufacturers across the country to manage their energy, productivity and costs in real-time.  [Read more…] about Smart manufacturing a priority for CSIA

Daimler using deep learning to teach autonomous cars to drive themselves

July 27, 2016 by Sam Francis

German auto giant Daimler is using deep learning techniques to teach its autonomous cars how to drive, and is boasting it has produced the smartest car in its market. 

The company is also working with Bosch and others on developing a smart car parking system, whereby human customers can simply pick up or drop off their cars in a designated area, perhaps at the entrance of a car park, and the car will go and park itself, or will come to the customer, depending on what’s required.

Daimler owns the Mercedes brand, among others, such as Benz, which is named after Carl Benz, who is credited with inventing the first motor vehicle 125 years ago. The original vehicle has been a celebrated museum piece for many decades.  [Read more…] about Daimler using deep learning to teach autonomous cars to drive themselves

A brief history of smart factories and new gadgets available to today’s manufacturers

July 27, 2016 by Sam Francis

Jay Cadman, of Ubisense, talks about the history of smart factories and the new products today that are enabling many more businesses to realise the benefits of real-time location systems 

While the phrase “smart factory” is relatively recent, first coined at The Hanover Fair in 2011, the concept has been talked about in various forms for the past 30 years. And at Ubisense we’ve been creating smart factories for some of the world’s leading manufacturers in the automotive and discrete industries for more than a decade.

Ubisense’s Smart Factory product was originally designed to specifically help vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) tackle the challenges of managing ever increasing levels of complexity in assembly lines brought about by mass-customisation.

By placing ultra-wideband (UWB) tags on tools and mounting networked UWB sensors around the factory, we can locate and make sense of thousands of objects in a factory in real-time.  [Read more…] about A brief history of smart factories and new gadgets available to today’s manufacturers
