In today’s tech-driven world, more and more companies are resorting to automation and taking help from relevant software programs to increase effectiveness and boost performance.
While some still consider it a threat, automation can enhance your company’s progress if used in the right way. Software robots and machine learning are also a part of automation that reduces human labour and increases productivity.
Companies use automation tools to increase efficiency as most takes are operated by robots, software tools, and artificial intelligence. With time, machines have learned to use logic and streamline processes applied in a professional work front. [Read more…] about How Automation Increases the Effectiveness of an Organization
Realtime Robotics, a developer of autonomous motion planning systems for industrial robots, has agreed a partnership with Dematic, a global intralogistics company.
The use of Realtime’s advanced multi-robot coordination and spatial perception technology paired with Dematic’s automated palletizing software will vastly improve the accuracy, cycle time and stability of mixed case palletizing cells.
In the hyper-competitive logistics space, solution providers are being challenged to reduce cost and time to deploy all while continuing to increase key productivity metrics. [Read more…] about Realtime Robotics partners with Dematic to develop ‘new capabilities’ for mixed-case palletizing
Locus Robotics, a provider of autonomous mobile robots for fulfillment warehouses, says that it has now passed the 250 million units picked volume level heading into the 2020 holiday peak season.
Locus robots now pick more than 10,000 units every 15 minutes, a 263 percent increase in units picked compared with the same period last year.
Locus’s 250 million pick milestone reflects the rapidly growing volumes at customer sites throughout this pandemic-impacted year, with some customers’ daily orders often reaching Black Friday levels. [Read more…] about Locus Robotics reaches picking milestone of 250 million units in warehouses
A startup company aiming to bring digital project management techniques to the construction sector has raised $14.25 million in Series A funding, bring the total raised to $24.7 million, according to Business Insider.
Mosaic Construction says its fundamental offer or service is to provide a method for analyzing building plans and categorize them according to which contractor will do what task in what time frame and so on.
This could enable traditional property developers and builders to move more of their tasks into the factory for prefabrication, bringing prefabricated construction into the mainstream.

The dawn of industrial robots in the manufacturing landscape has been a game-changer for many industries. Today, industries of all sizes, big, medium, small, across all fields, are investing in this technology.
Why? Because robots offer indispensable value to your business. They increase your speed, efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
In recent years, industrial robot manufacturers have shifted gears in their production. They’re no longer focusing on production for the ‘giants’ in the industry; they’re now considering small businesses as well. [Read more…] about How Industrial Robot Manufacturers are Benefiting Small Businesses
Have you ever had a situation arise where you need access to your laptop but don’t have it on you?
For example, you need to finish working on an important project from work or perhaps you just want to share photos with a friend.
We use our laptops on a daily basis, our laptops slowly become an extension of us. [Read more…] about Remote Access a Valuable Tool for Business
The manufacturing industry is critical to the global economy. Imagine a world where no one produces flat screen TVs, automobiles, or ballpoint pens.
It’s so hard to overlook the fact that everything that we have ever bought at the mall and used at the office are made at factories producing such goods everyday.
You know this if you are the owner and manager of a manufacturing facility. You need to ensure that the supply chain is fed and consumers get the items they need or want. [Read more…] about 4 Tips to Enhancing Productivity in Manufacturing
ABB has unveiled a new 3D inspection robot cell which it claims makes quality control testing “10 times faster”.
The industrial automation giant says its 3D quality inspection (3DQI) robot cell is “capable of detecting defects of less than half the width of a human hair and imperceptible to the naked eye”.
It adds that the cell will “dramatically accelerate production by providing fast, accurate testing to make metrology easier and less time consuming”. [Read more…] about ABB says its new 3D inspection robot cell makes quality control testing ‘10 times faster’
