The Warehouse of the Future: Where Sci-Fi Meets Supply Chain
Technology may not be able to solve all the problems, but it should impact warehouse operations, as did the advent of modern pallets around 1917 and the lift truck, which eventually became the forklift.
Robots speeding up material handling
With omnidirectional movement and smart docking with virtually any warehouse cart in under 20 seconds, these new robots are making material handling faster and safer.
Master-Follower Configuration: Precision Control with Encoder-Based VFD Synchronization
VFDs are the backbone of modern and legacy industrial systems, managing tasks from powering fans and compressors to enabling intricate robotic operations. For more complex industrial operations, the need for precise coordination between drives escalates.
Overview of GMSL2 Technology in Automotive Camera Systems
GMSL2 comprises sets of serializer and deserializers (SerDes) ICs. It can provide multi-stream support with a single cable. This interface addresses the needs of high bandwidth, complex interconnect, data integrity, and low power requirements.
Picking the right chart - (Semi-)Autonomous surface and underwater mapping for rivers and lakes

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
