Honeywell to sell warehouse automation business Intelligrated and Transnorm as portfolio overhaul continues

by

Honeywell has agreed to sell its Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) business – which operates under the Intelligrated and Transnorm brands – to American Industrial Partners in an all-cash transaction, as part of a wider restructuring of its automation portfolio. 

The financial terms of the sale were not disclosed.

The deal, expected to close in the second half of 2026, follows closely on the company’s recent agreement to divest its Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) division to Brady Corporation for $1.4 billion.

Together, the two transactions mark a decisive step in Honeywell’s multi-year effort to simplify its business and sharpen its focus on core automation technologies. [Read more…] about Honeywell to sell warehouse automation business Intelligrated and Transnorm as portfolio overhaul continues

Humble Robotics emerges from stealth to bring autonomous electric haulers to real-world freight

by

Humble Robotics has emerged from stealth with what it describes as a “revolutionary new vehicle”: a fully autonomous, cabless, electric hauler designed for cost-efficient freight transportation.

The company also revealed it has raised $24 million in seed funding, led by Eclipse with additional participation by Energy Impact Partners and others.

The Humble Hauler is an entirely new take on the classic tractor-trailer combo, designed from the ground up with modern technology. [Read more…] about Humble Robotics emerges from stealth to bring autonomous electric haulers to real-world freight

Robots on demand: Why robotics-as-a-service on its own won’t solve warehouse automation

by

By Kevin Price, logistics consultant, Dematic

Supply chains are under intense pressure due to constantly shifting order volumes and increased customer expectations, which has made effective management essential.

At the same time, rising operational costs are pushing many warehouse operators to test new ways of running their businesses.

To meet this challenge many organisations have turned to on-demand robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) and warehouse-as-a-service (WaaS), particularly small and midsized operators. [Read more…] about Robots on demand: Why robotics-as-a-service on its own won’t solve warehouse automation

How to Cut Parcel Damage in Automated Fulfillment

by

To stop automated fulfillment lines, which will account for 85% of all warehousing nationally by 2030, from shredding your margins, you have to look at the physics of the floor.

Damage in a robotized environment isn’t usually about a single “drop” incident; it is a cumulative result of high-velocity vibration, G-force shifts during AMR acceleration, and rigid sorting hardware that lacks a human touch. [Read more…] about How to Cut Parcel Damage in Automated Fulfillment

MoviĜo Robotics launches new warehouse robot

by

MoviĜo Robotics launches a new robot technology platform for production logistics in industries such as food, pharma, automotive and the print industry.

The “Ŝharko5 Technology Platform” is developed based on the proven technology of the highly successful Ŝharko5 robot.

ABB Robotics launches high-speed PoWa collaborative robot range

by

ABB Robotics is combining the flexibility of collaborative robots with higher payloads and performance, with the launch of its new PoWa cobot family into the rapidly expanding global collaborative robot market, which ABB Robotics estimates will grow by 20 percent annually through to 2028.

Andrea Cassoni, head of collaborative robots at ABB Robotics, says: “Cobots are growing significantly faster than traditional industrial robots, driven by demands from both small and midsized companies starting their automation journey as well as large enterprises.

“These customers are seeking higher speeds and payloads, but also greater ease of use, and compact designs. Established manufacturers want to automate heavier, fast cycle applications, without the complexity and operational rigidity of traditional industrial robots.

7 Best AI Story Generator With Image Creation Tools for Visual Storytelling

by

AI doesn’t stop at the page anymore – it paints the scene, too. In 2026 you can draft a chapter and watch matching art appear in the same window.

Suites like DreamGen let you spin dialogue and drop illustrations without switching tabs, and analysts say that’s why storytellers are leaving “chat-only” bots for multimodal workspaces. One dashboard now keeps tone, pacing, and imagery in lockstep, trimming revision loops.

We tested 31 contenders, chose the top seven, and defined clear judging criteria – story quality, image fidelity, character consistency, workflow ease, content policy, and pricing – so you can pinpoint the right platform fast.
