The projects are part of a push for continuous improvement and the cultivation of an energy-conscious mindset Employees recognize that our sustainability efforts will have far-reaching impacts for our customers The goal: To be one of the most efficient casting facilities in Europe The plant’s 550 employees make cast products for the understructure of premium car bodies such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 3 Series Data collection is a critical part of monitoring energy usage The team also has an ambitious goal to recover heat used in the manufacturing process and then use it to provide cheaper heat to homes in the region products and processes at Markt Schwaben – and our 347 divisions in 28 countries – are making the world a safer thoughts and inquiries or engage in the conversation on social media You can stay connected with Magna News and Stories through email alerts sent to your inbox in real time charged with murdering one man and mutilating several others in illegal procedures A man has gone on trial in Germany accused of murdering one man and mutilating several others by performing illegal operations on their genitals The 66-year-old electrician told a regional court in Munich that he performed the procedures at the men’s request whose name was not released for privacy reasons claimed he initially offered sexual services on sadomasochistic websites in order to earn money to pay off debts the man allegedly began performing operations on his kitchen table in the town of Markt Schwaben telling his victims he was a trained medical professional The defendant told the court he castrated or partially amputated the genitals of eight men between July 2018 and March 2020 But he denied responsibility for the death of one man The dead man’s body was found in a box by police three weeks later Prosecutors have charged the defendant with murder for failing to call help in the case of the man who died and with serious and dangerous bodily harm The Robot Report By | March 22 SAFELOG’s mobile robots can operate in a range of warehouse and factory settings using Opteran Mind Opteran Technologies this week announced at LogiMAT a partnership with SAFELOG GmbH a manufacturer of order-picking and transportation robots for warehouses and factories SAFELOG will integrate its mobile robots with Opteran Mind “We are delighted to announce our partnership with SAFELOG as this is another significant milestone on our path to commercializing Opteran Mind,” stated David Rajan co-founder and CEO of Opteran Technologies “We are seeing a rapid take up of our technology across the U.S. so today’s agreement with SAFELOG underlines why our technology is best in class for localization and mapping for mobile robots,” he added “It also shows that while ‘natural intelligence’ is unique in the market making Opteran Mind a simple and attractive solution to integrate with existing mobile robots.” The companies said the multi-year agreement will enable SAFELOG to address the urgent need for greater productivity from autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) operating in hazardous and dusty environments Opteran claimed that its technology can enable AMRs to handle dynamic lighting and ever-changing obstacles without GPS Germany-based SAFELOG said it is developing a new generation of mobile robots that combine robustness and efficiency A key objective of its project with Opteran is to reduce robot failure rates because of localization errors with existing 2D and 3D lidar as well as with visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM) Another challenge to productivity is when hundreds of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) operate together in a warehouse setting because each installation requires an infrastructure consisting of magnetic tracks and QR code reflectors This can increase commissioning time and operating costs Opteran said its localization software enables new projects to be activated quickly and efficiently without additional infrastructure.  “There are a lot of challenges for existing autonomy solutions to overcome in the complex conditions of a warehouse so we have been amazed by what Opteran Mind can achieve,” said Michael Reicheicher “Opteran’s technology performs significantly better in our mobile robots which will be hugely beneficial for our customers offers a robust technology that we are confident will differentiate our AMRs in the global market.” Opteran Mind is based on 10 years of research into insect brains. The company, which has facilities in London and Sheffield in the U.K. and Boston in the U.S., said it reverse-engineered natural brain algorithms.  nature does navigation more efficiently than robots,” said Opteran Technologies By replicating nature’s approach in a model that the company calls “natural intelligence,” it said it has delivered a “dramatic breakthrough.” Opteran estimated that its system could cost less than $160 running on a Sony and ARM Core and using Sony IMX219 cameras and RK4566 ARM chips current systems can range in cost from $8,400 for a 2D lidar setup to $27,000 for a 3D lidar setup Opteran and SAFELOG demonstrated their collaboration at LogiMAT in Stuttgart They showed a SAFELOG mobile robot using Opteran Mind which they said could increase adaptability and minimize downtime The partners said Opteran Mind can be embedded in ground-based robots and aerial drones for a wide variety of applications from logistics and warehouse distribution to oil and gas inspection Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
