…Cyber Security Education and Research at North Dakota State University. “In a technology field growing and changing as much as additive manufacturing is, it’s difficult to anticipate everything that could represent a cybersecurity threat or other threats to the operation of the system.” Deploying AM for product prototyping is a wholly different scenario than wielding the technology for production purposes, which then opens the door to various issues. Simply put, Straub contends, the stakes are much higher. “With prototyping, the security issue is a throwaway compared to producing something that’s going to be used especially if safety is critical to…

…and automation. He was previously a research scientist at Carnegie Mellon University and iRobot. “I'm an engineer by training and have been working on putting computer vision in things that fly, drive, or have arms for 25 years,” said Geyer. “I'm part of the interface between engineering, sales, and marketing.” Demographics and supply chain shifts We've heard a lot about the labor shortage being the biggest challenge for supply chains. How does that help or hurt robotics? Geyer: Companies are looking at their strategies and are seeing the demographics. Boomers are retiring, birth rates are plummeting, and even now, customers…

Berkshire Grey's Robotic Process Sortation and Identification (RPSi) can pick items off conveyor belts, release them through a barcode scan tunnel, then sort the product into a cubby or bin. Source: Berkshire Grey Automation for loose and unpackaged item sortation Can the same type of equipment be used for both returning and goods-to-person processes? Geyer: The automation systems that we use to sort goods can be used in multiple workflows in a warehouse. Could returning and goods-to-person items all pass through one stream instead of two…

Founder Series MK-V features Using a Monarch MK-V instead of a comparable diesel tractor can reduce emissions equivalent to removing 14 passenger vehicles from the road, according to Monarch Tractor. Considering nearly 25% of global emissions result from agriculture, the new tractor could help reduce emissions at scale in an industry that has been historically difficult to decarbonize, it added. “With precision ag, autonomy, and AI, data will decrease the…
