6 Best Electric Car Charger Manufacturers

September 28, 2022 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

It is not news anymore that electric cars are not just the future but are fast becoming the mainstay of the present transportation industry for many countries worldwide. But as it’s often the case with emerging technology, many companies that deal with supporting infrastructure are usually not prepared for the sharp increase in demand.

The electric car charging manufacturing industry is facing this challenge with new EV charger manufacturers springing up regularly. However, some of these manufacturers do not meet industry requirements of quality.

Still, top-rated China EV charger manufacturers have kept their commitment to high-quality standards. Here are the top 6 in this industry. [Read more…] about 6 Best Electric Car Charger Manufacturers

Waypoint Robotics partners with Productive Robotics to build mobile manipulation robot

April 22, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Waypoint Robotics has teamed up with Productive Robotics to build a new kind of robot that aims to make mobile manipulation accessible for small to mid sized companies. 

The machine – called the Vector AMR – combines Waypoint’s omnidirectional autonomous mobile robot with Productive Robotics’ 7 axis collaborative robot arm, which the companies say makes it easier and more cost effective to implement mobile manipulators for manufacturing and logistics applications.

Workers can use this mobile platform to perform repetitive tasks such as machine tending, quality assurance sampling, material replenishment, packaging, and many others, so they can focus on the high skilled jobs for which they are uniquely qualified.

SICK launches ‘world’s first’ LiDAR multibeam scanner for small vehicles

April 9, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

SICK Sensor Intelligence has launched what it describes as “the world’s first” LiDAR multibeam scanner with safe, solid-state technology for line-guided small vehicles.

The scanGrid2 safe multibeam scanner from SICK is the first of its kind in the world. The compact sensor uses a novel and in-house developed solid-state LiDAR technology to increase the productivity of small autonomous and line-guided transport vehicles.

Certified as a Type 2/SIL 1 safety sensor according to IEC 61496-3, the scanGrid2 can protect hazardous areas up to performance level c and works well for collision avoidance. An app and cloning function also ensure a high level of up time and fast fleet deployment. [Read more…] about SICK launches ‘world’s first’ LiDAR multibeam scanner for small vehicles
