In the last blog, we glimpsed into how the Internet of Things revolutionizes businesses and, ultimately, our lives. Connecting every possible physical object on the shop-floor to the internet via sensors leads to the generation of a massive amount of insightful data. Data that can be used to make processes more efficient, reduce costs and, increase output. IoT brings together data-acquiring sensors, internet, cloud computing, and analytics capabilities to deliver real-time information to business leaders to make effective smart decisions. We ask, what if the power of IoT can be used to improve the design and usage of autonomous material handling equipment like AGVs and AMRs? Read on to see…

AGVs in Textile
Material Handling in manufacturing sector refers to the movement of any kind of material/load within the limits of shop floor or at the most to the transportation vehicles or warehouses. Auto Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are the newest trend in material handling. AGVs are portable robots, which follow a prefixed path for navigation. They can tow the material stored on trailers and trolleys attached behind them or can store the material on the overhead beds for conveyance. They are used to transport loads in a manufacturing facility or a warehouse, where repetitive movement of material is required with little or no human interaction. Now a days, they are deployed in nearly every…

SAEVK: Human Guided Vehicle
We know that Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are portable robots which follow a prefixed path for navigation. They can tow the material stored on trailers and trolleys attached behind them or can store the material on the overhead beds for conveyance.

AGVs in Healthcare Industry
Yesterday, one of our engineers came across a short video clip while scrolling through the news. It was that of a robot serving food to the corona virus affected patients in China. He immediately showed this to a few of us colleagues. Such a great concept, such a noble cause! Who would have thought that in this dreadful spell of corona virus scare, robots can come handy this way? The wheels in our heads started spinning. We had always said that AGVs can help in medical sector. In fact, they are being used in hospitals across various countries since as early as 1980s. In today’s topic AGVs in Healthcare, let…

RAGHAV in Small Industries
If you have read our previous articles in the tech blog series, you must know RAGHAV very well by now. For those who haven’t, RAGHAV is our first ever adaptable AGV for material movement. Till now we have seen how various manufacturing industries like Automobile, Pharmaceuticals and Food processing can benefit with RAGHAV. We agree that these are comparatively bigger industries, meaning that the production volumes and capital they can invest, both are higher and hence they prefer to use modern machinery and equipment like AGVs to transport load. What about the small-scale industries? We all know that India being a developing country, majority of our industries are smaller in…

RAGHAV in Food Industry
Hygiene is a very important factor to be considered when it comes to food. None of us prefer to eat at a place where food is not being prepared or served hygienically. It is not just unappetizing; it is also very unhealthy. Same is applied to a food processing industry. Although we cannot see how the food is processed, packaged or stored, we try to go for bigger brands like Chitale Bandhu when it comes to sweets or Amul when it comes to dairy products. This is because we trust that their products will be 100% safe to consume and believe us a lot of effort goes into building this…
