The Rise of Autonomous Freight: 7 Robotics Innovations Reshaping Logistics
The rise of autonomous freight is more than a technological upgrade — it’s a fundamental shift in how goods move around the globe. Robotics innovations are rewriting the rules of efficiency, sustainability and safety.
The Collaborative Revolution: How AI, Digital Twins, and Cobots are Reshaping Manufacturing & Industry
The manufacturing and logistics industries are undergoing a significant transformation due to the integration of AI, digital twins, and collaborative robots. AI acts as the intelligent core, optimizing cobot control, predictive maintenance, and supply chain management.
Real-Time KPI Dashboards: Lessons from the Top 10 Car Makers
Let us once discuss what these industry leaders teach us about tracking lean manufacturing software, why manual KPI tracking methods are losing relevance, and how your factory- from the smallest to a giant-would benefit from the power of digital solutions for manufacturing.
Meet, Find, Follow: Comparing 3 Ways to Automate With Order Fulfillment Robots
When considering implementing an AMR fulfillment solution, it’s important to compare your options and pick the right robotic system for your operations’ unique challenges and needs.
Calculating the ROI of Offline Robot Programming Software
Capital investments in advanced manufacturing environments require careful consideration, especially if that investment is for a new process or technology. If you are looking at investing in OLP here are some things to consider about the potential return on investment
Purpose-Built, Specialized Robots are the Future
Wheeled robots like ours are more efficient for the same reason cycling is more efficient than running, which includes less of a fight with gravity. The efficiency, as well as the sheer complexity of humanoid robots adds up to something that may be very much higher cost.
How to Integrate New Robotics Without Disrupting Your Workflow
Many fulfillment and 3PL facilities struggle with the idea of automation, fearing downtime, technical headaches, and compatibility issues. But what if robotics could smoothly enhance your workflow instead of disrupting it?

Eyes on the Prize: Why 'Automation-or-Bust' Thinking Gets It Wrong on AI
Along the path towards AGI, we should not seek to automate just because we can, but because it makes sense from a business and safety perspective. We should be preparing for an economy that integrates AI and human labor, not waiting for one to fall in our lap.
Robot Hand Could Harvest Blackberries Better Than Humans
The robotic gripper has three “fingers,†each made of a soft, pliable material. When a “tendon†— in this case a guitar string — is pulled, the fingers retract.
