Industry automation myths debunked

June 26, 2018 by David Edwards

People are generally allergic to change, even if it can help them. We are used to living our lives a certain way and discourage change, often neglecting its benefits.

However, change is constant and you cannot stop it, especially when it comes to technology.

Consider escalators. They replaced stairs, which helps people climb quicker and without much effort, but when the technology came out, it was hated due to the myths and a lack of understanding about how escalators worked.  [Read more…] about Industry automation myths debunked

Oceaneering develops remote method for underwater ship inspection

June 26, 2018 by Anna

Oceaneering International, Inc. (“Oceaneering”) is pleased to announce a remote method for conducting underwater inspection in lieu of drydocking (UWILD) services.

Working with major classification societies, Oceaneering developed a program that provides a safer, faster, and more efficient process for class surveyors to oversee underwater inspections from onshore.

This remote process reduces mobilisation costs and associated risk exposure, while allowing class surveyors to manage multiple remote UWILD surveys, regardless of location.

Briefing – Design and Prototyping: CAD spells the end of paper and pencil

June 26, 2018 by David Edwards

In this article, Robotics and Automation News provides an overview of software available for designers of products, components, and systems 

It’s very unlikely that paper and pencil will disappear completely – the headline’s just journalistic hyperbole. But they’re certainly not used by as many people as in the past. 

Pencil and paper will probably always be used to sketch out ideas in the initial stages at least, but with more tablet computers around, along with digital pens or pencils designed for use with them, even those most humble of materials and instruments are getting serious updates.

It’s very unlikely that more than, say, one in a hundred people would continue to use pencil and paper once it has gone past the sketching stage into the actual design phase with a view to producing prototypes.  [Read more…] about Briefing – Design and Prototyping: CAD spells the end of paper and pencil

Genesis Robotics offers smaller radial flux ‘LiveDrive’ actuator

June 26, 2018 by Anna

Genesis Robotics and Motion Technologies (Genesis Robotics) is introducing a smaller, 110mm version of the LiveDrive TM actuator. This new, compact radial flux motor was developed to support a wider range of robotic designs.

The “LiveDrive 110” provides comparable high torque-to-weight, safe and precise actuation as the 250mm LiveDrive actuator, but its small size makes the actuator available for more versatile applications within and beyond robotics.

The LiveDrive actuator suite leverages three discoveries that contribute to the proprietary technology: amplified magnetics, structural-magnetic synergy and unusually high thermal conductivity.

Samsung certifies Mentor Tessent tools for 8LPP process 

June 26, 2018 by Anna

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., has certified Mentor‘s Tessent products for Samsung Foundry’s 8-nanometer (nm) LPP (Low Power Plus) process.

These tools provide design and test time improvements for very large designs targeting markets such as mobile communications, high-speed network/server computing, cryptocurrency, and autonomous driving.

Very large designs in today’s leading semiconductor devices can suffer from requiring large compute resources, and pattern-generation times that are too long or are being performed too late in the design flow.

General Motors has broken new ground on an all-new $65 million ACDelco and Genuine GM Parts processing center on a vacant 141-acre lot near the intersection of Genesee and Davison roads in the City of Burton, in the US.

The facility is being built within the Customer Care and Aftersales division of GM.

GM says the new building is the company’s largest single investment in a warehousing and logistics facility in the United States in nearly 40 years.  [Read more…] about GM breaks ground on $65 million ACDelco and Genuine GM Parts processing facility

Employers and employees alike ‘welcome robots’, says Epicor

Robot co-workers plug industry-wide skills gap, boost efficiency, automate mundane work, and don’t get involved in office politics, according to new report

With employers struggling to find people with the skills they need, even for entry-level jobs, industrial workers are increasingly seeing the benefits of working with robots, rather than humans, to improve productivity and relieve the pressures they are under.

This is one of the findings of the latest research from Epicor Software Corporation, a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software to promote business growth.

According to the research, which questioned around 2,500 business respondents in 14 countries, staff are aware of the many benefits of working alongside robots.  [Read more…] about Employers and employees alike ‘welcome robots’, says Epicor
