The Robots Are Here to Stay: How Automation is Affecting Global Business

August 10, 2020 by Polly Leave a Comment

Robots are shaking up different aspects of the modern business world. Deloitte’s 3rd Annual Robotics Survey suggested that the implementation of robotic process automation (RPA) in organisations is in the rise.

Robotic Process Automation? What Is It?

Simply known simply as RPA, it is the use of robotics systems on computers or robots to support the processing of data, and thereby, making such data processing more effective.

RPA also comes with programs that prevent the need for human hands or humans to perform rule-based tasks that are mostly repetitive. Thus, RPA also leads to very time-efficient processes. [Read more…] about The Robots Are Here to Stay: How Automation is Affecting Global Business

A Guide to Understanding Internet-Based or IP Protocol Geolocation API

August 10, 2020 by Polly Leave a Comment

Do you know the location of your online clients? Can you identify whether the right clients in your network are all approved to access its information? Can you notice and block wary devices and traffic?

If “no” is your answer to the above questions, then you may be in trouble. Businesses are progressively aware that geographical information must be used to bring ought online efforts to the fullest prospective. Yet that is not as simple as it may sound.

Being efficient here needs leveraging the website client’s whereabouts, particularly with the information captured from their IP addresses. That is possible with IP Geolocation API. Here is an ultimate review of its competences. [Read more…] about A Guide to Understanding Internet-Based or IP Protocol Geolocation API

Rozum Café develops collaborative robotic system for coffee-making and serving

August 10, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Rozum Robotics has developed a collaborative robotic system for coffee-making and serving, calling it Rozum Café. (See video below.)

The labor shortage is a common challenge in manufacturing. Human-robot collaboration is a promising solution to this problem.

Production lines, where a human and a robot can work shoulder by shoulder, unite robotic efficiency and human creativity. [Read more…] about Rozum Café develops collaborative robotic system for coffee-making and serving

Airbus adds new satellite to its SpaceDataHighway constellation

August 10, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Aerospace company Airbus has added a new satellite to its SpaceDataHighway constellation.

The company says its EDRS-C satellite, the second node of Airbus’ SpaceDataHighway constellation, has completed its commissioning tests and is now ready to start operational services.

Following its successful launch in August 2019 and manoeuvring to its geostationary orbital slot at 31 degrees east, in-orbit testing has been executed and laser communication links have been established to the Copernicus programme’s Sentinel Earth observation satellites.

Airbus unveils autonomous helicopter

August 10, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Aerospace giant Airbus has unveiled an autonomous helicopter.

The prototype of Airbus Helicopters’ VSR700 unmanned aerial system has performed its first free flight. The VSR700 performed a 10-minute flight at a drone test centre near Aix-en-Provence in the south of France.

The company says this is a “significant step” in the programme following the first flight in November 2019 when the prototype was tethered to comply with regulatory requirements. [Read more…] about Airbus unveils autonomous helicopter

FedEx introduces robots to ‘most difficult’ job in sorting facility

August 10, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

FedEx has installed industrial robotic arms to do what is considered the “most difficult” job to automate in a sorting facility in Memphis, USA. 

As shown in the Wall Street Journal video below, FedEx has integrated Yaskawa robots and software from Plus One Robotics into a robotic system that performs a task which involves picking up parcels or envelopes from a tray and placing them on a conveyor.

While this is a simple job for a human, automating this step in a warehouse has proved very difficult in the past. [Read more…] about FedEx introduces robots to ‘most difficult’ job in sorting facility

Boeing to build four more satellites for SES’ space internet

August 10, 2020 by Sam Francis Leave a Comment

US aerospace giant Boeing has received a contract to build four additional 702X satellites from SES as the “space internet” provider increases the number of O3b mPower satellites in its Medium Earth Orbit to 11.  

These four additional O3b mPower satellites will enhance SES’s next-generation MEO constellation throughput and efficiency as well as expand its unique capabilities to deliver connectivity services ranging from 50 Mbps to multiple gigabits per second to a single user.

The system will allow telecommunications companies, mobile network operators, governments, enterprises, aircraft and ship operators, and more, to connect with their core network or extend cloud access worldwide. [Read more…] about Boeing to build four more satellites for SES’ space internet
