I just finished creating a quiz about the IIoT — the Industrial Internet of Things — and it reminded me of a job interview I had 22 years ago. After working as a design engineer, I wanted a change, so I applied for an editing position at a new magazine about the electrical industry. While I was making the rounds of the parent organization, a vice president asked me, based on my engineering experience, what important new trends I expected in the field. Although I hadn’t thought about it before, an answer popped into my head ..read more

By taking over the dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks, collaborative robots, or cobots, continue to prove their effectiveness in industrial applications. Cobots are robots designed to work alongside humans rather than in their own space on a broad range of tasks ..read more

The warehouse industry is changing. Labor shortages are driving AMR adoption in warehouse and logistics environments, and artificial intelligence (AI) empowers warehouse automation. AI-powered algorithms optimize order-picking routes, considering factors such as product characteristics, picking frequency, and real-time order priorities. By intelligently sequencing orders and optimizing travel paths, warehouses can improve order accuracy, increase throughput, and reduce labor costs. AI allows AMRs to make decisions autonomously but without sacrificing safety. In this 60-minute Webinar from the ..read more

In December, Neya Systems was one of three companies selected to participate in the Defense Innovation Unit’s (DIU) Ground Expeditionary Autonomous Retrofit System (GEARS) project. Under the GEARS project, the three companies are developing autonomous navigation kits for the Army's Palletized Load System (PLS) vehicles ..read more
