Brain Corp debuts autonomous supply chain robot

April 2, 2019 by Sam Francis

brain corp new vehicle copy

Brain Corp, a San Diego-based artificial intelligence company specializing in robotics, has launched a new delivery robot which it calls “AutoDelivery”. (See video below.)

AutoDelivery appears to be designed to operate within warehouses and stores, or facilities where it will generally be alongside human staff, rather than make deliveries to consumers’ addresses.

The proof-of-concept robot is powered by BrainOS, the company’s commercial operating system for the production, installation, and support of autonomous mobile robots, or AMRs.

BrainOS currently powers multiple machines within the robotic floor care industry, including those made by Tennant, Minuteman, ICE, and SoftBank Robotics.  [Read more…] about Brain Corp debuts autonomous supply chain robot

German Chancellor and Swedish PM visit ABB ‘factory of the future’ in Hannover

April 2, 2019 by Anna

German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven were given a glimpse into the factory of the future by ABB CEO Ulrich Spiesshofer

Mr Spiesshofer explained how a production cell would work in the factory of the future, where robots will collaborate with humans.

They were shown how two-armed YuMi robots together with single-armed YuMi put together wristwatches individually with unparalleled precision, using the transport system from ABB’s newly formed Robotics & Discrete Automation business.

April 2, 2019 by Sam Francis

The world’s leading industrial technology event, Hannover Messe, is this year highlighting smart factory technologies and artificial intelligence. 

The organizers of the show have decided on the theme of “Industrial Intelligence”, which probably encapsulates the trends perfectly.

However, its always going to be difficult to summarise what is going on such a large trade fair, let alone distill it into two words.  [Read more…] about Hannover Messe highlights smart factory technologies and artificial intelligence

Festo says its VTEM automation platform speeds up tyre production

April 2, 2019 by Anna

With a global production volume of 1.8 billion car tyres per year, the focus is very much on efficiency and productivity.

This is where the Festo Motion Terminal VTEM comes in: it digitises pneumatics, thereby speeding up processes and reducing costs, for example when transferring the rubber layer to the tyre building machine.

Before the green tyre is produced in the tyre building machine, the incoming rubber plies are imprinted with different patterns so as to prepare the tyre material perfectly for the tyre-building machine.

Renault pilots large-scale vehicle-to-grid charging from electric vehicles

April 2, 2019 by Anna

Groupe Renault is beginning the first large-scale pilot schemes in vehicle-to-grid charging, also called reversible electric charging.

A fleet of fifteen Zoe vehicles with vehicle-to-grid charging will be introduced in Europe over the course of 2019 to develop the company’s future portfolio in reversible charging and lay the groundwork for future standards.

These pilot schemes began in Utrecht (the Netherlands) in an ecosystem developed by We Drive Solar and on Porto Santo Island, in Madeira, Portugal, with Empresa de Electricidade da Madeira. More pilot schemes will be introduced in France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark.
