By Marcel Spiegel Success and growth depend on constant innovation to stay ahead of the competition. Last May Harvard Business Review found that 10 times more money is spent on R&D than on advertising worldwide. Marcel Spiegel But for many traditional manufacturers, implementing digital technology into their workflows can still be seen as an insurmountable challenge, with major financial implications…

JAMADE’s Amazea breaks the mold for water sports innovation in various ways. The vehicle is an underwater scooter, which replicates a dolphin’s body ergonomics for faster movement, and it is also emissions-free with low noise operation—an attempt to minimize impact on the marine ecosystem. Another point of disruption: 75% of the Amazea—specifically, the scooter’s body and front parts—are produced with…

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are moving out—slowly, it seems. They’ve been talked about for decades, as far back as the 1930s at the New York World’s Fair. In 2020, there’s been more talk about their use, potential, application and the transformation they offer to the world. But design engineers creating autonomous vehicles must consider many factors. Operational accuracy and safety are…

A year ago, NVIDIA paid $6.9 billion to buy Mellanox, an interconnect solutions provider. This week, the company announced it's ready to pay roughly six times that amount—$40 billion—to buy the UK-based Arm, known for its energy-efficient microprocessor technology. Both acquisitions point to the GPU maker's ambitious plans and aggressive moves to dominate the emerging AI (artificial intelligence) market. NVIDIA…

Few would argue that robots, especially autonomous mobile robots (AMR), are moving from an emerging technology to another tool in the materials handling tool kit. That is especially true in the third-party logistics (3PL) industry, where Modern has featured AMR implementations at industry leaders like DHL, GEODIS, Rakuten Super Logistics and, in the July issue, UPS. See a detailed inside…

Everyone knows forecasts are always wrong, however… When it comes to peak periods, a wrong forecast is not nearly as debilitating as a maintenance failure that shuts down equipment for any period of time. Whether peak is a few months, weeks or days, maintenance has to be up to date and out of the way of operations for the duration,…

Not to make too much of this, but there’s something going on in the digitization of maintenance. And it has some parallels to 2007, which was a big deal in the digital world. That was when Apple launched the iPhone, Facebook and Twitter went global, Amazon released the Kindle, and the Cloud fell to earth. Not a bad year. But…
