Faced with ever-increasing cost pressures and demands for improved performance, machine builders are actively seeking new automation solutions with improved cost/performance ratios. In response to ...

Humans had to carry out all their machining processes by hand for centuries. Even precision tools had to be maneuvered very carefully, inch by inch, by people holding the devices personally. That all ...

It’s a bit of a stretch to realize zero human interaction in the operation of heavy construction equipment. However, make no mistake. The move is on to make it happen. “Part of the problem involves ...

The Department of Defense’s research and development wing, DARPA, is working on technology to read and write to the human brain. The focus isn’t on mind control but rather machine control, allowing ...

Machine control systems, which combine positioning sensors — both GNSS receivers and inertial systems — with computer displays, give operators better insight into and control over their work. Whether ...

The wireless functionality takes the form of Cattron’s black channel, encrypted RF protocol, making the XBMCU a gateway for machine data and control to safely travel over the air for a truly wireless ...

The pace of innovation continues at an exponential rate. “In the past couple of years, we have seen tremendous growth in the adoption of machine grade control solutions,” says Sean Mairet, product ...
