Comau unveils new ‘perception-based’ robotic picking solution

September 5, 2023 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Robotics and automation specialist Comau has launched what it calls the “MI.RA/Picker”, describing as an intelligent advanced automation solution for perception-based random bin picking.

Adaptable to any brand of commercial robot, customized bin or customized gripper, the fully automated picking solution uses two high-resolution laser sensors and a central camera to autonomously recognize, locate and grasp randomly placed objects at a rate of up to 40 pieces per minute (PPM).

Furthermore, its streamlined virtual simulation tools and predictive algorithms guarantee optimal path management and collision-free trajectories, for precise and reliable performance while lowering costs and potential risks.

Worldwide installations of automated guided vehicles at seaports to exceed 150,000

June 19, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Seaports globally have increased their automation solutions or kickstarted automation initiatives to mitigate port congestion.

Equipment like gantries, automated port gates, stacking cranes, and horizontal transport solutions, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that transport containers and loads to and from ships, have been the most productivity-enhancing solutions in seaports.

According to ABI Research, a global technology intelligence firm, worldwide AGV deployments in seaports will have a compound annual growth rate of over 26 percent from 2022 to 2027 and exceed 150,000 global deployments by 2027.

Interview: Formic aims to change the way you integrate robotics and automation into your facility

January 31, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Formic Technologies is a new type of company which, itself, is the result of the huge changes that are occurring in the robotics and automation market, what with all sorts of new robots and technologies emerging, none of which is cheap to buy, and creating an increasing amount of complexity when it comes to implementing them in an integrated system at, say, a factory. 

In simple terms, you can hire robots – for example, Universal Robots collaborative robots – and other automation technologies from Formic. But it’s more than that. You can also have Formic design the implementation, and handle the integration, for which the startup company has many established partners.

And possibly Formic’s unique selling point is its promise to link its income from its customers to those customers’ success with the automation systems Formic installs. In other words, it’s a kind of like a robotics-as-a-service company which you can pay as you go according to a sliding scale – or “Easy to start, easy to scale”, as Formic likes to put it.

3 Aspects that Impact Car Insurance Rate

January 11, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Auto insurance may be a little like fashion – it should be the correct match and will be comfy to the wearer. Coverage and services vary from one person to another. The premiums additionally vary and are distinctive to individual needs, professions, and characteristics.

The rates for two individuals might take issue even if the vehicles’ values are similar. Below are the kind of things you are likely to be told a lot regarding the factors that influence automobile insurance rates.

1. Age and Gender

Though it’s entirely out of your hands, age is maybe the foremost important rating factor. Younger drivers are thought of as riskier, so paying a higher insurance rate.

Younger drivers incur the highest insurance rates and people within their mid-lives (about 50 years) pay the lowest rates. Younger drivers might ante up to $5,500 per year, unlike quiet drivers in their mid-life stage.

Automobile insurance corporations base such selections on facts, in line with the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT).

Road accidents are the leading explanation for death in the US for people under 54 years. About half of these deaths are healthy young adults aged 15 to 44.

The agency paints a grim image of reality: every day, seven teens aged 13-19 die because of automobile crashes.

With such statistics, it’s straightforward to envision why insurers charge younger drivers higher premiums. However, the question is, why do auto insurers charge senior drivers more than individuals in their 50s?

2. Where you live, what you do, and how you manage your finances

Since each state in the US is semi-autonomous, auto insurance laws vary from one state to another. Therefore, insurance rates by car make and model vary depending on your location.

The most recent analysis shows that if you reside in Michigan, the typical motor car insurance rate is over $5,000. The typical auto insurance rate in states like Iowa, San Diego, and Wyoming, is well below $500.

The rates might additionally vary even among a state. Drivers in rural areas pay below those in cities and concrete centers. Why? There’s a higher probability of your car being hit, vandalized, or purloined if you live in cities rather than in rural areas.

Excluding wherever you live, your job and the way you manage your finances also matter to automobile insurers. Some insurers consider the rate.

Careers like home health care employees or US Army veterans are factors in computing the premium. Also, in some states, insurers apply credit score insurance ratings.

An improved credit score interprets to a lower motor car insurance rate and vice versa. However, in California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Washington, this practice is illegal.

3. Your Relationship With Auto Insurers

Motor car insurance corporations take into consideration the history they have with their clients. Depending on the length of your relationship, your consistency, and therefore the demands you make, they’ll vary your premiums rates.

Insurers consider first-time consumers as riskier. Thus, they charge more for new customers. Also, if you have had an inconsistent relationship – your record has amounts of coverage breaks – the non-depository financial institution can interpret it as an indicator of higher risk.

They perceive it as a period after you were driving as uninsured. In addition, if you have a history of many insurance claims (or claims filed against you), expect a higher premium rate.

Are 4Runners expensive to insure?

There is also a question: Are 4Runners expensive to insure? The age of your Toyota 4Runner can impact your overall auto insurance premiums.

Older 4Runners tend to be more cost-effective to insure than newer 4Runners. 2003 4Runner insurance prices are under Toyota 4Runner auto insurance rates for a more modern model.

The truthful market varies of a vehicle confirmed principally by its age, and that’s however insurers determine what quantity your vehicle has to be covered.

It additionally depends on if you get a rear-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive, or front-wheel drive, yet as alternative choices which will have an effect on your mileage, weight, cubiform feet of freight space, and fuel economy and systems efficiency.

Keep Your Premiums in Check

A lot of factors among your management affect your automobile insurance rate. Currently that you simply recognize those, change your driving style and how you relate with insurers to keep your premiums in check.
