…Amazon Web Services, Cisco, John Deere, Medtronic, PepsiCo, and Siemens, NVIDIA said. To accelerate AI application development and deployments at the edge, NVIDIA has also created a Generative AI Lab for Jetson developers to use with the latest open-source generative AI models. Generative AI could transform industries Generative AI can ease development by enabling users to provide more intuitive prompts and change AI models, said NVIDIA. Those models can be more flexible in detecting, segmenting, tracking, searching, and even reprogramming anything, it said. In addition, models created with generative AI can outperform traditional convolutional neural network (CNN)-based models, NVIDIA noted.…

…as Amazon, Bosch, Coca-Cola, DHL, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Siemens, Walmart, and Zalando are among its users. It had a global network of 35 companies with sales of CHF 664.4 million ($720.75 million U.S.) and 2,500 employees as of 2022. Interroll's two-floor facility in Ticino, Switzerland, specialized in techno-polymer injection-molded parts, presented a logistical challenge. Materials handling between production and the logistics area required manual labor because existing systems couldn't provide the necessary flexibility for multi-floor operations in a dynamic environment with people and other equipment moving around. Interroll wanted to increase productivity while enhancing safety through autonomy. The company…

…stable, efficient, lifting, and storage solutions. Combilift collaborated with Siemens Gamesa to design the Combi-LC at its headquarters and manufacturing plant in Ireland. The system enables users to move massive wind turbine blades and towers – some as long as 115 m (377.2 ft.) and weighing in at around 70 tons. Combi-LC can move them through production stages and on to storage locations, which can sometimes be as far as 5 km (3.1 mi.) apart, Combilift noted. The concept of bespoke Load Carriers (with a patent pending design) is based on two fully customizable remote-control units with low-level chassis beds…
