Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Continental is to build a new plant to make advanced driver assistance systems.
The new plant will be located in New Braunfels in the US state of Texas.
The purpose of the new building is to expand its capacity for the production of radar sensors, says Continental. [Read more…] about Continental builds new US plant to make advanced driver assistance systems
Kuwait is a country that has defied all odds to record a positive outcome economically than earlier anticipated. Only a couple of years Kuwait were at war after the Iraq invasion.
Additionally, in 2017 the country experienced a historic fall of oil prices are some of the things that many thought Kuwait had a long way to go before experiencing any visible change, but today it is a different narrative.
According to the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK) Governor, Mohammad Y. Al-Hashel, the country economy is resilience and ability to overcome the challenging environment. [Read more…] about Kuwait: Banking On Growth
Teradyne has embarked on a project to build what it says will be “the world’s largest collaborative robotics hub” when it is finished.
The facility (main illustration) is located in Denmark and its eventual cost is estimated at approximately $36 million.
Denmark’s minister of industry, business and financial affairs, Simon Kollerup, unveiled what will become the new home of Teradyne’s robotics business units, Mobile Industrial Robots and Universal Robots, both of which it acquired in the past year or so.

Given the proliferation of warehouses, distribution centers, direct to consumer (D2C) business models, fleets of AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), questioning the validity of innovation is worthy of examination.
Unlike in prior years when attendees would walk the show floor for days, many are using the MHI MODEX app and visiting for just a single day.
For that reason, a compelling innovation from ForwardX (Booth 1207) should be the first stop for serious AMR decision-makers. [Read more…] about ForwardX Aiming to Deliver ‘Best-in-Class’ Autonomous Mobile Robots
Groundbreaking technological evolutions in recent years have provided a significant boost to the robotics domain, particularly pertaining to human-robot interactions.
Robotic technologies have evolved significantly over the years and are poised to transform the industrial landscape across the globe.
As a matter of fact, reports from the International Federation of Robotics suggest that over 3 million industrial robots will be used in factories by 2020. [Read more…] about Collaborative robots contribute towards changing perceptions of automotive robotics
Brain Corp, a San Diego-based robotics and artificial intelligence company, says it achieved “record sales and revenue growth in 2019” as retailers increasingly turn to robotic solutions to reduce costs and enhance in-store experiences.
Brain Corp achieved more than a 300 percent increase in revenue last year, fueled by a surge in interest for BrainOS-powered floor care machines by major retailers, including Walmart.
The company also saw a 760 percent increase in global deployments. It now provides the intelligent backend for one of the largest fleets of its kind in the world – approximately 10,000 robots deployed or enabled.

Boeing has reportedly abandoned the use of some robotic systems that were being used for fuselage work such as drilling and fastening.
According to the Seattle Times, the implementation of the robots “proved painful to set up and (was) error-prone”.
The news website quoted Jason Clark, Boeing vice president of 777/777X operations, who said back in 2015, when the robots were first introduced: “It’s a little tough in the teething. But as we get through it, it will create the rewards necessary for us to compete.” [Read more…] about Boeing ‘abandons’ robots in favour of humans
