…SA last week said it has successfully installed four very narrow aisle, or VNA, robots at Singapore Storage and Warehouse Pte. Ltd. The Arcueil, France-based company claimed that they are world's tallest autonomous VNA systems, with a lift height of 16.8 m (55.1 ft.). BALYO collaborated with Linde Material Handling on the project. “This project shows the tremendous superiority of Linde-BALYO’s technology on the high-bay storage and VNA applications,” stated Pascal Rialland, chairman and CEO of BALYO. “Singapore has been the perfect hub to launch applications at extreme heights due to space scarcity and customer engagement toward robotics. We will…

…traditionally, robots have acted as “sole agents” focused on narrow tasks and are thus historically not adept at operating collaboratively in integrated, multi-agent settings. But that is changing via interoperability with other types of automation, as well as people-centered workflows and data capture devices and technologies like printers, she said. After the panel, Wise said the value of mobile robots will increasingly come from how easily they integrate with other automation and with software and devices, so that user companies can speed the overall fulfillment process and have robots that work well in tandem with people. “When you look at…

…able to navigate and move around autonomously in tall, narrow aisles, with frequently changing inventory and very few fixed physical features to guide them. San Francisco-based Ouster said it is combining its high-resolution lidar data with the MOV.AI Robotics Engine Platform, advanced simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) navigation, obstacle avoidance, and risk-avoidance systems. The companies said they will help AMRs operate efficiently and continuously in dynamic environments, environments with little static information, and environments with repeated structures. “MOV.AI's mission is to speed up robot development and to provide AMR manufacturers and integrators with everything they need to develop and operate…

…Grey to increase that to 70%. “There have been very few products that we have been unable to send to the robotic system cells,” added Okabe. SB Logistics claimed that the Ichikawa facility is the first fulfillment center to completely automate the picking and packing process after receiving customer orders. In Okabe’s view, the technology to achieve full automation is already available; it just can’t yet deliver the required return on investment (ROI). “But I do believe in the coming years we will be able to reach that goal,” he said.

…and carts, repetitively pick items, and operate machinery in narrow spaces. Industrial mobile robots (IMRs) promise to improve worker safety and reduce physical strain while also increasing throughput and ultimately profits. The challenges of recruitment, retention, and accelerated e-commerce demand have led more operations to adopt automation. However, both developers and users need to be aware of safety requirements and emerging standards. The American National Standards Institute and the Association for Advancing Automation (formerly the Robotic Industries Association) have issued ANSI/RIA R15.08, a safety standard for the use of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in industrial environments. It is based on…

…and consulting services. The Automated TRT is designed for very narrow aisles. Source: Raymond Transtacker offers dual modes Raymond said that its new Automated TRT offers dual-mode operation: automated mode for full pallet moves and manual mode for case picking. “With no need for operator breaks, this means more hours on the floor and more pallets moved per shift, increasing productivity,” claimed the company. “The Automated TRT’s Order Manager software fully integrates with your warehouse management system (WMS) to optimize performance and eliminate errors.” In addition, the Automated TRT is designed for very narrow aisle (VNA) applications such as e-commerce,…
