The seminar will explain how IEC 61499-based technology for distributed automation can be used to ease the development of complex real-time control applications in logistics, while also enabling a service-oriented mechanism to connect with IT and execute advanced optimization logics based on data analysis ...

1. Why do we see in the industry more and more robotic systems? One reason is for sure the simple design of those system. So, yes one robot is very complex and sophisticated, however applied in a system with a high number of robots makes the system very reliable. The complex robot gets thoroughly tested ...

Industrial automation has been around for 40 years, but ecommerce fulfilment and distribution centers are predicated on variability - not repeatability. A robot’s needs are perception-driven. Having fast, reliable 3D and AI-powered vision is what makes them go. What keeps them going on repeatable tasks ...

Crocs was challenged with a surge in demand for its innovative footware during Covid. It’s traditional supply chain planning cycles and build out of more highly automated capacity would take years to complete. Over the summer of 2020, Crocs (worked with Sedlak) and 6 River Systems to develop an alternative ...

In this session, OTTO Motors CEO and Co-Founder, Matthew Rendall and PULSE Integration's Chief of Strategy & Innovation, Matthew Chang, will explore one of the world’s first ‘at scale’ AMR deployments. Using a real-world example of AMR deployment at a F500 company, OTTO Motors and PULSE Integration will ...

Manufacturers are increasingly using Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) platforms for modernization and transformation of their material handling to decrease non-productive tasks for humans, improve safety, and increase productivity. Throughput is the core metric for measuring deployment success and the main ...

With the rising concerns of balancing labor and automation in the new normal, industrial robotics are enabling companies to accomplish more with less. From increased safety protocols, to reduced touchpoints and collaboration with the human workforce, robotic systems are increasing efficiency but also ...

Sensor technology is integral in robotic applications. See the role sensors play in functionality and safety. From item picking to safeguarding collaborative processes, sensors are the eyes and ears.

This presentation will emphasize key points that should be highly considered when developing a strategy around Micro-fulfillment. Micro-fulfilment refers to the idea of placing small-scale warehouse facilities in accessible, urban locations that are close to the consumer. This presentation will specify ...

With supply chains in flux and ecommerce orders surging, automation is increasingly being leveraged to reduce labor dependencies while also improving distribution efficiencies, fulfillment timeframes, customer service, cost savings and resilience. However, determining the right application for warehouse ...

From the introduction of the assembly line to the modern application of robots, automation can be an intimidating word. Whether it’s in reference to the scope of automation or the concern that robots will take away jobs, many companies are not sure how to approach automation. Before it was simply the ...

The increased choice, convenience and buyer control of modern commerce requires advanced fulfillment science to deliver on promises to the market and margins to the board. More companies are recognizing that a dedicated, intelligent and integrated operating system that spans the end-to-end range of DC ...

Standard conveyors have been a staple in warehouses and distribution centers for years. Often, new facilities default to conveyor solutions because of their reliability. Let’s face it, conveyor systems are not going away anytime soon. They serve a purpose and are designed to deliver. However, alternatives ...

The future of business is robotics. AMRs, micro-fulfillment and technology to connect robotics with devices are must-haves in our ever-changing digital world. At PULSE, we are experts in robotics and technology. Customers demand easy access to products, speed of delivery, and high-touch customer ...

Wireless chargers without contacts are revolutionizing the way energy is transferred to AGVs and industrial e-vehicles. By enabling "in-process-charging", the fast charging process of the batteries can take place during regular operation and process-related breaks. Vehicle downtimes due to charging pauses ...
