Geek+ to debut new robotics solutions at LogiMAT 2022

May 23, 2022 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

Geek+, a manufacturer of warehouse automation technology, is returning to the LogiMAT logistics trade show to showcase its latest award-winning autonomous mobile robot solutions, the revolutionary PopPick and RoboShuttle 8 solutions.

Geek+ developed PopPick to transform what a picking station can be by maximizing storage space utilization and throughput capacity while reducing costs by 50 percent and making the working environment more comfortable for warehouse personnel.

PopPick represents the future of warehouse management, with fleets of autonomous robots fetching goods from storage racks and bringing them to warehouse personnel at a central picking station. [Read more…] about Geek+ to debut new robotics solutions at LogiMAT 2022

Opinion: Warehouse robots are playing a vital role in keeping supply chains from completely toppling

December 2, 2021 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

In the warehouse, robots aren’t replacing workers. They’re playing a vital role in keeping the supply chain from completely toppling, says Mike Futch, CEO of Tompkins Robotics

What do robotics look like in the modern world of warehousing and distribution?

If you’re like many, you might envision a large, heavy, steel system that’s bolted to the floor, with an arm twirling in a repetitive motion performing some task of sorting or tagging. The machine is stationary. It stays in one spot, performing the same function, day after day.

Let me tell you: That’s your grandad’s robotics. Today, the supply chain relies on a growing fleet of small, automated robots that are portable, scalable and modular. They’re also configurable, so their jobs can change as needed by their users, whether it’s warehouses and distributors, retailers, manufacturers, third-party logistics providers, freight shippers and so on.

Fugro launches its new generation of uncrewed surface vessels in the Netherlands

November 10, 2021 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Fugro’s Blue Essence, an offshore certified uncrewed surface vessel (USV) with an electric remotely operated vehicle (eROV), will begin its first project in the Netherlands. 

During operations the vessel is controlled from an onshore remote operations centre (ROC) via a satellite connection and will be used for the inspection of offshore assets, construction support services, and hydrographic and geophysical surveys.

USVs play an important role in the future of the maritime sector by improving safety, reducing carbon emissions, and delivering data more efficiently. [Read more…] about Fugro launches its new generation of uncrewed surface vessels in the Netherlands

BMG unveils robotic paper cup manufacturing system

November 19, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Brown Machine Group (BMG) has designed a robotic paper cup manufacturing system for use in paper cup manufacturing applications.

BMG says its aXatronics C-Rush System is the first of its kind to automatically remove sidewalls, or Blanks, from high-speed, vertical die-cutters and robotically place them into work-in-progress containers, the C-Rush System significantly reduces manual labor and improves die-cutter productivity.

C-Rush is equipped with Smart-Dola – a new patent pending die-cutter output lane assembly (Dola) fixture that dramatically improves overall system throughput. [Read more…] about BMG unveils robotic paper cup manufacturing system

Panasonic’s exoskeleton to be used at Paralympics

October 4, 2019 by Mai Tao

Panasonic, an Official Worldwide Paralympic Partner, says it will be providing its Power Assist Suit – an exoskeleton – for use at World Para Powerlifting events and the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

The suits will be worn by spotter / loader personnel tasked with moving weights and spotting lifters during the competition.

The suits feature built-in sensors that detect limb movements and motors synchronized to provide wearers with mechanized power for performing strenuous tasks easily and safely. [Read more…] about Panasonic’s exoskeleton to be used at Paralympics
