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
Assets, both tangible and intangible, are a major and valuable investment in your business. Asset management software provides you with a centralized platform that enables smooth asset tracking and allows you to have greater visibility of your assets. This helps improve asset management processes like maintenance, tracking, cost optimization, and more.
With a holistic view of your assets and associated costs, you can make wiser decisions pertaining to procurement and management. You can also better manage your assets by taking several actions, as simple as checking asset management metrics in a faster and more convenient way.
MarketsandMarkets reports that the asset management software market is likely to hit $4.8 billion by 2026. Some reasons for this are being compliant with regulations, optimization of asset purchase, maintenance, and deployment – the core driving factors of asset management software.

Aerones has demonstrated for what it claims is the “first robot that offers full-service leading edge wind turbine blade maintenance and repair”.
The robot performs maintenance 5x faster than humans, and makes use of various attachments to perform different tasks, including refinishing blades with RELEST coatings from AkzoNobel.
The robot is able to perform maintenance and repair for Level 1-3 Leading Edge Erosion (LEE), proactively addressing erosion in a cost-effective manner and halting progression to Level 4-5 erosion. [Read more…] about Aerones demonstrates ‘first’ robot for wind turbine maintenance and repair
SICK has launched a new linear encoder product family for high-precision detection of piston positions in hydraulic cylinders and the monitoring of linear movements in machines. The DAX linear encoder product family provides flexibility for countless industrial applications.
The product family offers three designs to suit these applications, all with industry-appropriate measuring ranges. An Online Configurator provides step-by-step assistance to users in selecting a suitable DAX.
For applications with special requirements, the smart and flexible system architecture of the product family allows for tailored and efficient customization. [Read more…] about SICK launches new linear encoder for industrial applications
Aerones, a Latvia-based company specializing in robot-enabled wind turbine maintenance and inspection, has secured $30 million in growth capital to scale its business globally.
The capital will be used to help the Company meet surging demand in a market which is expected to reach $50 billion in value by 2028.
The funding round was co-led by Lightrock, the global growth equity investor, and Haniel, the European family-owned purpose-driven investor. [Read more…] about Aerones raises $30 million to develop wind turbine maintenance robot
Kodiak Robotics, a self-driving trucking company, has demonstrated how its proprietary SensorPod hardware “simplifies autonomous truck maintenance and increases truck utilization” by eliminating the need for a specialized technician to replace autonomous vehicle sensors.
As part of a technical partnership with Southern Tire Mart/Southern Tire Mart at Pilot, Kodiak has demonstrated that its pre-calibrated, pre-built SensorPods, which replace the truck’s stock side-view mirrors, can be completely removed and replaced by a mechanic without specialized training.
Servicing and maintaining most autonomous truck sensor systems requires significant time and specialized training, which complicates repairs since long-haul trucks can travel thousands of miles per trip and may need service in remote locations.

The Covid-19 outbreak has forced industries to automate processes with Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) and digitize their operations as much as possible.
Within manufacturing and supply chain industry, most organizations have taken measures to transition to Industry 4.0 so they can continuously automate and improve conventional industrial and manufacturing processes and cut down wherever possible during this recession.
Following are a few IIOT trends that we are hoping to see for the rest of 2022. [Read more…] about IIOT trends in 2022
EDF has installed a uniquely customised remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to carry out what is believed to be the first autonomous wind farm foundation inspection at its Blyth Offshore Wind Farm.
The ROV, equipped and operated by researchers from the ORCA Hub, a strategic project within the National Robotarium, was modified to include cutting-edge robotic technologies for autonomous inspection capabilities and carried out visual inspections of the gravity-based foundations of three offshore turbines over the course of four days.
The inspections were undertaken as part of a partnership between EDF and the ORCA Hub to investigate a wide range of potential applications for drone technology to assess offshore wind turbines. [Read more…] about EDF employs ‘unique’ underwater drone to carry out ‘first ever’ autonomous robotic inspection of wind farm foundations
