Stiga launches ‘world’s smartest’ autonomous lawn mower

March 18, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Stiga, a European manufacturer and distributor of garden machinery and equipment, has launched its Stiga A1500 Autonomous Robot Mower.

Stiga claims it is the “world’s smartest” autonomous law mower and the very first mower that combines RTK GPS with Stiga’s patented Active Guidance System (AGS) technology for a robust signal that runs sustainably, without stoppages and which delivers “faultless mowing accuracy”.

Launched recently, the Stiga Autonomous Robot Mower has been created by Stiga’s engineers to revolutionise lawn care with a completely intelligent, consistently-smooth, sustainable mowing system. [Read more…] about Stiga launches ‘world’s smartest’ autonomous lawn mower

ACC picks Segula to help build three gigafactories in Europe

March 16, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

The European automotive market is rapidly electrifying, and the need for batteries to equip vehicles is increasing.

According to the European Commission, demand will increase 12-fold between 2018 and 2030.

This is a revolution for the sector, which is now relying on reindustrialisation and the development of a battery ecosystem sized to ensure the necessary production on the European continent.

This challenge has been taken up by Automotive Cells Company, a company operating in the world of battery technology for electric vehicles, which has selected Segula Technologies, which designs and implements industrial projects, to support it in its plans for three gigafactories dedicated to the production of cells and modules for electric vehicles.

Halodi Robotics uses Ansys to simulate humanoid robots

January 10, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Halodi Robotics is using Ansys simulation software through the Ansys Startup Program to develop its humanoid robots designed to work among humans in everyday environments.

Humanoid robots can help alleviate the growing labour shortage, and free critical personnel to focus on tasks that require their high-level skills.

These robots will perform jobs such as patrolling buildings at night, stocking grocery shelves, and executing logistical tasks at hospitals. With Elite Channel Partner EDRMedeso, Ansys enabled Halodi Robotics to shorten development time by months. [Read more…] about Halodi Robotics uses Ansys to simulate humanoid robots

Changing of the Guard: MES or Not?

September 20, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

By Karan Talati, First Resonance

Innovation and operational changes are essential to maintaining your competitive edge in any industry. This is no different for manufacturing. Times are changing, and today’s manufacturers are re-evaluating their production processes.

Machine efficiency is necessary. It is important to the bottom line but doesn’t drive innovation. MES has been the go-to solution for manufacturers for decades, but it has lagged behind modern challenges facing today’s manufacturers.

Visionary entrepreneurs, startups, and incumbent companies with a new generation of engineers are looking to transform products of the physical world. To that, they need flexible and iterative workflows – not static efficiency measurements. Organizations across industries are rethinking legacy tools’ role in their operations.

ASME updates 3D printing standard to streamline production

June 11, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Since the 1940s, engineers have used a common design language – a set of definitions, symbols and practices – to draft engineering drawings that can serve as clear manufacturing blueprints or inspection checklists.

While this system still works well for many traditional manufacturing methods, it has not equipped engineers to produce clear and consistent design documents for additive manufacturing, commonly called 3D printing. And the absence of standard methods of communication leaves room for information about 3D-printing designs to be lost in translation.

This week the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) published an updated standard – based in large part on research by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) – that includes language specifically for 3D printing.

How Industry 4.0 is Changing the Employment Market

March 8, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

We’re now in the middle of a significant transformation in the way we produce things, thanks to Industry 4.0, the digitisation of manufacturing.

Also called “smart manufacturing”, Industry 4.0 refers to the digital transformation of manufacturing practices, leading to real-time decision making, flexibility, enhanced productivity, and agility.

The employment market has been adopting new technologies, including Industry 4.0. With smart technologies becoming more mainstream, it’s worth considering the impact of these technologies on society and the workforce. [Read more…] about How Industry 4.0 is Changing the Employment Market

Data Visualization Comes to Robotics

March 5, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

The growth of the robotics sector was nothing short of spectacular in 2021. In just one year, robot density in manufacturing processes doubled, leading many to herald the dawn of a new era. Robots are finally here in numbers that matter, and it looks like they’re here to stay.

Robot development, though, is changing. It’s no longer a logical codified process, Instead, it’s more about learning and training, similar to the approach you’d take with a human child.

Unfortunately, getting to grips with all that data is difficult. Not only is the way machines are being programmed changing, but also how engineers and software professionals troubleshoot and analyze outputs. [Read more…] about Data Visualization Comes to Robotics

Festo unveils extended version of robotic systems design software

February 25, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Festo has unveiled an extended version of its robotic systems design software, saying it enables the design of Cartesian robots “in minutes”.

Festo’s Handling Guide Online (HGO) now includes 3D cantilever systems in addition to linear, planar surface and 3D handling systems.

The company says these improvements mean that design engineers can now plan “extremely compact or extremely dynamic Cartesian robots in a matter of minutes” using the HGO’s intuitive configuration and ordering software.

How to Find and Hire the Best Mechanical Engineers

February 14, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Mechanical engineers design, build, develop, and test anything that moves – in machinery or the human body (as in the case of prosthetics).

As a result, they play a huge role in many industries such as automotive, biotechnology, computer and electronics, automation, aerospace, and manufacturing.

Essentially, they take a product from start to finish, focusing on the design for aesthetics, functionality, and durability. Sometimes, mechanical engineers dabble into other fields like civil engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering, etc.

So, you can see that mechanical engineers are valuable when it comes to manufacturing processes. However, finding and hiring the best mechanical engineers for your organization might seem like a daunting task. [Read more…] about How to Find and Hire the Best Mechanical Engineers

Engineers at Columbia University invent robotic lasers that cook food

December 16, 2021 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Engineers at Columbia University have invented software-controlled robotic lasers that cook food with “unparalleled precision”, retaining more moisture, and creating an entirely new, customized way to cook a tasty meal. (See videos below.)

Imagine having your own digital personal chef; ready to cook up whatever you want; able to tailor the shape, texture, and flavor just for you; and it’s all at the push of a button. Columbia engineers have been working on doing just that, using lasers for cooking and 3D printing technology for assembling foods.

Under the guidance of Mechanical Engineering Professor Hod Lipson, the “Digital Food” team of his Creative Machines Lab has been building a fully autonomous digital personal chef. Lipson’s group has been developing 3D-printed foods since 2007. Since then, food printing has progressed to multi-ingredient prints and has been explored by researchers and a few commercial companies.
