…Frontrunners using edge computing include Intel, Thales Group, and GE Aviation. Computer vision: Machine vision enables autonomous drones to observe and interpret their surroundings, allowing them to navigate complicated landscapes and avoid obstacles. Vendors such as Rockwell Collins and General Electric are using computer vision to enhance the accuracy of their products. Swarm technology: This technology has the potential to enable large groups of drones to collaborate on missions like search and rescue or military surveillance. For example, leading manufacturers like Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Aurora Flight Sciences, and AeroVironment have developed swarm technology. Autonomous systems market is competitive…

…(MTI). They are best known for their work with GE Aviation’s 3D-printed LEAP Engine fuel nozzle used in commercial aviation, said the company. In an industry with exacting standards for the safety and quality of manufactured parts, the nozzle was one of the first metal additive manufactured (AM) parts to be certified for flight by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Morris is also recognized for his early expertise in industrial metals such as titanium and for integrating AM with traditional manufacturing floor systems. MTI was acquired by GE Aviation in 2012. Morris, Rengers, and Warden then applied their decades…

…keeping tabs on what’s happening during that flight, while GE Aviation monitors the engines and a third-party maintenance provider collects performance data used to schedule repairs. It’s become a commonplace, mature technology. In the materials handling industry, major systems integrators like Dematic, Intelligrated, Knapp and Schaefer Systems have remotely monitored their customers’ integrated system installations for some time, covering conveyors, shipping sorters, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and automatic guided vehicles (AGVs). Today - with the increasing expansion and acceptance of machine-to-machine (M2M) Internet of Things (IoT) technologies that provide exponentially more Big Data all the time - that…
…keeping tabs on what’s happening during that flight, while GE Aviation monitors the engines and a third-party maintenance provider collects performance data used to schedule repairs. It’s become a commonplace, mature technology. Stand-Alone Automated Equipment Muller LCS, a manufacturer of stretch wrap equipment, recently added a remote monitoring offering to its line of high-speed, high-volume Octopus rotary ring stretch wrap machines. The service, says Neil Weisensel, brand and marketing director, grew from the company’s desire to provide more information to customers on a daily or hourly basis - an expansion of on-site quarterly or monthly equipment audits conducted by Muller…
