On demand webinar – Looking after us at work: where in the warehouse?

2024-03-26T16:26:21+00:00

On-demand Webinar Looking after us at work: where in the warehouse? In this webinar hosted by Cambridge Wireless, Helena Lisachuk of Deloitte and Andy Ward of Ubisense discuss the use cases for location technology in industry and why "There’s no single best sensor, just the best sensor(s) for the job". Location tech is indispensable for safety and optimisation in many industries, providing constant vigilance for misplaced machinery and orchestrating the precise ballet of robots

How to automate human tasks without creating robots

2024-03-26T16:26:21+00:00

As manufacturing facilities re-start around the world, it’s clear several efficient operating practices that are almost universally adopted will be somewhat reversed, certainly in the short-term, possibly longer. Take ‘just-in-time’ or lean manufacturing for example; made famous by Toyota and popular since the 70’s, manufacturers will need to rethink their supply chains to reduce exposure to potentially disruptive events.  As an opinion piece in the FT succinctly put it this weekend; more ‘just-in-case’ than

From zero-code to contact-tracing in under a week

2024-03-26T16:26:22+00:00

Have you ever wondered where all these contact-tracing and social-distancing solutions came from? It’s not like they were developed and ready to roll out – the use of technology to support back-to-work strategies is unprecedented in history. Unprecedented and unpredicted: up until March we’d barely thought about shutting down; up until April we’d never considered what it would mean to open back up, and here we are in May with a veritable smorgasbord of

Don’t Judge a Tracking Technology by its Cover

2024-03-26T16:26:22+00:00

Don’t judge a book by its cover we are told, but I’ll admit that I’ve bought more than one volume based on its cover art. Those books haven’t always provided a life-changing literary experience, but what the heck? It was only a $10 gamble. An investment in location intelligence to underpin a process digitization strategy is somewhat more than a $10 proposition and selecting the right tracking technology deserves more thought than a perusal

On-Demand Webinar: Location Intelligence Across the Automotive Plant

2024-03-26T16:26:23+00:00

On-demand Webinar Location Intelligence Across the Automotive Plant Location intelligence solutions have been in high demand recently as manufacturers get back to work by monitoring worker movement and enabling contact tracing. However, for over a decade the primary purpose of these solutions has been to maximize throughput and reduce errors through digitization. In this webinar, Adrian Jennings, Chief Product Advocate at Ubisense will discuss: The most commonly deployed use-cases (from torque sequence control,

It’s about time automotive manufacturers replace a 70-year-old technology

2024-03-26T16:26:23+00:00

The barcode was first imagined in 1948 by Joseph Woodland, inspired by the dots and dashes of Morse code. Woodland was responding to a challenge set by a local retailer in Philadelphia, looking to find ways to speed up the process of checking-out in stores. By the 1960’s, an engineer, David Collins revived this idea and, combined with the availability of lasers, was putting thick and thin striped lines on railway cars so they

Gone in 60 seconds – thinking beyond the fixed workstation

2024-03-26T16:26:23+00:00

Ever since Ransom Olds introduced the automotive assembly line in 1901, and Henry Ford the moving conveyor in 1913 we’ve pretty much been building cars the same way: cramming processes into fixed workstations. The fixed workstation is a very simple concept. Step 1: define the takt-time based on planned production volume, typically around 60 seconds for high volume. Step 2: set the line speed and workstation size to create 60s workstations. Step 3: divide

On-Demand Webinar: Why IoT Won’t Revolutionize the Manual Assembly Line

2024-03-26T16:26:24+00:00

On-demand Webinar Why IoT Won't Revolutionize the Manual Assembly Line The Internet of Things is potentially revolutionary for many industries but will it revolutionize manual assembly? In this presentation Adrian Jennings argues that the overwhelming majority of manual workflow in the assembly plant means that OEMs will need to look beyond IoT for full digital process connectivity. Mr. Jennings will describe how to augment IoT to reach those manual processes and
