…cost, they require no complicated infrastructure. But they also have many shortcomings, according to Adrian Jennings, VP of real-time location systems at Ubisense. “For example, when people are turning their backs toward each other, the devices may overestimate the distance between them. Their signals could be blocked by human bodies. And [the devices] don’t recognize barriers, like walls,” he observes.…

…further investment in automation. As infrastructures within warehouses and fulfillment centers become more automated, Feuell said maintenance technicians will play a crucial role in helping limit downtime. Companies can leverage data-driven insights from a connected architecture of software and sensors through solutions like Honeywell Intelligrated’s Connected Assets to perform preventative maintenance to maximize uptime. Direct-to consumer e-commerce sales continue to…

…system, which would require minimal infrastructure changes beyond a few adhesive reflectors. This type of navigation was more common in AMRs than AGVs. “I knew I didn’t want a system that follows tape,” he says. “Our vehicles run off data from a 360-degree navigation scanner and use Wi-Fi to communicate.” Lockhart says his team decided to jump off the deep…

…is supported by DOCA, a data-center-infrastructure-on-a-chip architecture that enables enhanced networking, storage and security performance. “The entire data center can now be provisioned as a service using virtual switches and routers,” Huang said. “That is a huge tax on the CPUs. At least 30 percent of CPU cores are consumed running the infrastructure.” Huang laid out the company’s three-year DPU…

…This technology uses some guidance infrastructure to transmit instructions to compatible trucks, overriding manual controls to allow for precision guidance. With ZaP guidance, the most efficient paths are always taken, says Kaumo. “It’s a semi-automated path to start seeing some of the benefits of automation,” he says. Lift truck provider Crown Equipment offers autonomous trucks such as a tow tractor…

…a multi-cloud high performance computing infrastructure, allowing researchers to scale and accelerate research as needed on a single platform, accessible at anytime and anywhere. Until now, the Hyundai Motor Group Research Institute’s Aerodynamic Development Team was restricted by the resources of an existing on-premise infrastructure, limiting the number of simulation tasks that could be processed simultaneously. By moving to a…
