As global manufacturing continues to upgrade, capacity expansion and automation are advancing in parallel. Yet as production takt time accelerates, a critical question emerges: Can factory logistics reliably sustain higher operational intensity?
Peak season pushes the limits of your building, but when done right, robots work quickly and continuously, smoothing out material flow. This results in better operations and increases warehouse output. This is the real value of robotic automation.
Companies are pushing semi-automated and Fully automated solutions to address Ergonomics among many other challenges like Efficiency, SKU proliferation, Labor Challenges etc.
Invited by the organizers, the team presented Reachy 1 for the semi-finals, and the version successfully passed the tests. However, to hope to win the final, it became necessary to improve the robot's capabilities in terms of robustness and payload.
Designed for extra-large work envelopes, the ROCAP spans up to 900 m², lifts payloads up to 250 kg, and supports a wide range of end effectors. Anchored to the facility’s existing structure, it eliminates the need for bulky gantries and rails.
In logistics, every physical touch point is a cost, a risk, and an opportunity. Vacuum technology, gripping intelligence, and ergonomic lifting are not just technical details; they are strategic levers to unlock capacity, protect people, and decarbonize operations.
By integrating NVIDIA’s Physical AI into DELMIA’s Virtual Twin technology, Dassault Systèmes is moving the industry from static automation to autonomous software-defined systems that “learn” the laws of physics before the first part is made
In an era where resilience, quality, and speed are strategic differentiators, shifting decisions from “repeat what you were told” to “decide what must happen next” may be the most consequential automation upgrade of the next decade.
For automotive parts manufacturers, reliable and high-quality component supply is essential to ensure vehicle safety and performance. The need for intelligent and digital transformation across manufacturing and intralogistics operations has become increasingly urgent.
Saddle Creek partnered with Anyware Robotics, a leader in multi-purpose mobile robots equipped with physical AI. Their robot, Pixmo, is an AI-powered box handling mobile robot designed to autonomously unload containers and trailers.
The following real-world examples from Wind River customers illuminate the challenges of, and the technical remedies for, the development of mission-critical systems.
Choosing an appropriate finish is critical to preserving vulnerable mechanisms, such as robot frames, which can deteriorate with the wrong finish. Uncover when and how to use anodization and powder coatings for robotics in the most productive and sustainable ways.
Robots should handle the heavy, repetitive, behind-the-scenes work that wears people down. When that happens, employees can spend more time on service, communication, and the parts of the job that improve the guest experience.
STL partners with LE34, a certified HP SitePrint Service Provider, to precisely position QR codes for AMR navigation with ±2 mm accuracy—cutting project schedules from weeks to days in warehouse automation.
Traditional automated systems were too expensive or too rigid to meet their needs. What they required was a flexible, cost-effective, and operator-friendly palletizing solution that could keep up with changing carton formats and high volumes — without disrupting production.
