BlueBotics unveils new asset tracing and transport flow system

March 21, 2025 by David Edwards

Autonomous navigation and fleet management software provider BlueBotics – whose ANT navigation technology drives over 6,000 AGVs and AMRs around the world – has launched ANT locator, a new and “highly flexible” vehicle tracking and mixed fleet management solution that will be commercially available from June 2025.

Dr Nicola Tomatis, CEO of BlueBotics, says: “Based on our proven vehicle positioning technology, ANT locator allows companies to understand exactly where their forklifts are, and therefore where their pallets are too, whether inside or outdoors.

“ANT locator also addresses an evolving challenge for internal logistics teams: how to ensure effective interactions between manual forklifts and driverless AGVs and AMRs, by enabling traffic light systems for mixed vehicle types, smart interactions in pre-defined zones, and the integrated monitoring of all vehicles.” [Read more…] about BlueBotics unveils new asset tracing and transport flow system

How Does a Laser Hair Growth Device Work: Technology Explained

October 28, 2024 by Mark Allinson

About 85% of men and 40% of women experience hair loss by age 50. This translates to millions of people dealing with thinning hair and bald patches worldwide.

In severe cases hair loss may cause total baldness and this can be very distressing. Remember the infamous Will Smith at Chris Rock slap? Yes, that’s how “emotional” hair loss can get.

Hair loss can be caused by several factors including genetics, hormonal changes, medications, stress, radiation therapy, and poor hair management among other reasons. [Read more…] about How Does a Laser Hair Growth Device Work: Technology Explained
