…minutes) but that require fueling infrastructure. Some leveraging of online selection tools could help managers decide among these options, says LaFevers, but also go to your operators, and find out more about their issues and practices related to charging intervals and equipment swaps. Another tip, says LaFevers, is to know your current ratio of lift truck units per shift to…

…thought in robotics As more infrastructure is being architected, different schools of thought are emerging. Proponents of a particular school have their own world view on how robots will become ubiquitous and help mankind. There are three distinct schools of thought: 1) no-code programming, 2) artificial general intelligence (AGI), and 3) end-to-end robotic work cells. The no-code programming community is…

…the touch of a button. Infrastructure-free navigation, using LiDAR simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology, allows the trucks to integrate into existing operations by mapping structural features, without laser reflectors, guide wires or magnets. The ability to deploy a single unit before expanding also helps provide a lower cost of entry and greater scalability for customers, according to Hyster.
