💬 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗰𝗞𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘆, AI-driven supply chains can cut costs by 15%, reduce inventory by 35%, and improve efficiency by 65%. Integrating AI with warehouse robotics can boost the operational efficiency of your logistic processes by up to 35%. And it isn't just about automation; it's about intelligent automation. Even as human employment worldwide rises, the bots are gaining ground too. For example, 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 one of the big tech giants has been building up its robot fleet for years and now it says it𝗵𝗮𝘀 "𝟳𝟱𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀."📈 One of their solutions — the robotic arm (in question does not look as futuristic as you might imagine). It looks like a hand with an off-the-shelf metal pincher rather than some novel grasping device. Amazon says the robot could handle more than 1,000 items an hour, meaning it could pick and stow items at rates several times faster than a human worker could. If we are talking about warehouse workflow — many inefficiencies often stem from manual processes, human error, and outdated technology. But AI-driven robots can learn and adapt to varying warehouse layouts and product placements, optimize routes for picking and packing, and even predict maintenance needs. This means faster operations, reduced errors, and a significant decrease in downtime. 🤖Django Starts takes a list of some 𝗔𝗜/𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: ⚙️Autonomous Mobile Robots — can navigate warehouses and move items from one place to another.  ⚙️Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) — systems that pick, pack, and transport items in a warehouse.  ⚙️ AI-based technologies — can increase efficiency in their everyday tasks.  ⚙️Sensors — can help monitor the temperature, humidity, and air quality.

Meet the Blue Collar Robot - "Digit" from Agility Robotics Below you can read about how Digit the robot is currently doing paid work for a number of companies already, including Amazon. These investments are expected to provide return in less than two years and, in the fullness of time, their costs are expected to be in the $2 - $3 an hour range. Digit is doing manual tasks for now but the investment in research and development in this area is enormous with over a dozen major companies each fighting for supremacy. Are we prepared for a world where even the most specialist and premium professional services are available for just a few Pounds or Dollars an hour? I'm really not sure we are. https://lnkd.in/eXP_-wfA

Technologies such as automation, robotics and machine learning AI are providing solutions to many of the challenges, whilst also providing the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing market needs. 🤖💡 Read more in the link below 👇 https://lnkd.in/gSPtzDWi #manufacturing #robotics #automation #gibsons #aegibsonandsons

In today's fast-paced world, our idea of automation conjuring the images of futuristic, humanoid robots taking over our jobs is coming into existence. But it is far more accessible and beneficial for businesses of any size. Automation doesn't have to be complicated or intimidating. In fact, it can be as straightforward as: 📊 Processing data from files 📈 Generating reports with a click 🛒 Creating new purchase orders from previous ones These simple automations can significantly enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and free up valuable time for more strategic tasks. Whether you're a small startup or a large enterprise, integrating process automations can transform your daily operations. At GiSax Technologies, we specialize in developing intuitive apps that leverage the latest live-action features to make automation seamless and user-friendly. Ready to explore the possibilities? Let's connect and discuss how we can help your business thrive with the power of automation. info@gisaxtechnologies.com #Automation #BusinessEfficiency #TechInnovation #ProcessAutomation

Customers primarily care about two things when it comes to robotic induction and depalletizing applications, throughput and entitlement (% of materials that can be handled by the robot). Today, we are announcing two updates to our product offerings that bring a STEP CHANGE to the level of ENTITLEMENT. Our depalletizing systems are now able to handle the additional complexity of GROCERY items. Shrink-wrapped packages, trays, cans and other items specific to grocery our now easily identified and handled with our industry leading AI. We are also releasing a leap in induction end-effector technology, the Individual Cup Control Gripper (ICC Gripper). The ICC Gripper enables handling of parcels, small to large of ANY type. By closely integrating the ICC Gripper with our software, our AI software optimizes which cups are used based on the individual package geometry and type, resulting in superior handling. Come see both of these improvement in action at #MODEX2024 Visit the Plus One Robotics booth hashtag #C6673 https://lnkd.in/gNVY_P3X

In a world where automation is reshaping industries, Brad Porter, the visionary behind Amazon's warehouse robots, is making another bold move. Enter "Proxie," a part of Cobot's initiative to make AI-powered helpers available to all. 🚀 Unlike the humanoid robots still in development, Proxie works now. With testing underway at Maersk and the Mayo Clinic, this two-armed, four-wheeled assistant is set to revolutionize how companies handle mundane tasks across sectors like logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing. Proxie is more than just smart tech—it's a practical solution for real-world challenges. With its swap-out battery, it minimizes downtime and keeps operations flowing. Amid the buzz around humanoids, Proxie demonstrates that effective robotics doesn't have to mirror humans but should complement them efficiently. As our workplaces become more collaborative, the role of robots like Proxie will only grow. They’ll alleviate the burdens of repetitive labor, allowing human counterparts to focus on strategic, high-value tasks. Porter’s approach underlines a crucial shift—robots as allies, enhancing our capabilities rather than replacing them. Are you ready for a workplace empowered by AI and robotics? What tasks would you gladly hand over to a Proxie? 🤖

Today, Mytra officially launches out of stealth with our series B announcement! 🎉 Mytra’s mission is to supercharge industrial productivity by automating the most common industrial task: moving and storing material. I met Chris Walti about a year and a half ago while working at another AI robotics startup. Mytra was about 3 months old at the time and I remember seeing the modest, wooden 2D matrix behind him on the floor and conveying, “let’s stay in touch as you continue to build.” In the next ~6 months the wooden matrix quickly turned into a full scale 3D steel structure running a prototype robot in all directions (XYZ) and SW progress to match - building a working prototype alone can take years.  After seeing the speed of progress and meeting more of the team, I knew I wanted to be a part of it so I took steps to join shortly after. I continue to be impressed with the speed of progress and iteration by this growing team. In the last two years, Mytra has continued to shorten the feedback loop for in-house iteration and deployed our system to Albertsons. The need for what we are doing continues to grow with reshoring of operations to the US, significant shortfalls in US manufacturing jobs, and a change in consumer shopping preferences where getting your item within 24 hours is expected. If this work resonates with you, we are hiring 🤖 Learn more about our mission, team, and open roles at mytra.ai #MytraRobotics #Robotics #Automation #AI https://lnkd.in/gfcvr4x6
