Innovative production logistics at the BMW Group - Mini Smart Transport Robot (Mini STR)

Description

The BMW Group is increasingly relying on innovations from the fields of digitalisation and Industry 4.0 in production logistics. This will ensure the company’s global production network continues to receive the parts it needs in a timely and reliable manner in the future. The focus is on applications such as logistics robots, autonomous transport systems at plants and digitalisation projects for an end-to-end supply chain. Staff can control logistics processes from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets and use virtual reality applications to plan future logistics. Innovations coming out of many pilot projects are being implemented worldwide in logistics at BMW Group plants.Around 1,800 suppliers at more than 4,000 locations deliver over 31 million parts to the 30 BMW Group production sites worldwide every day. Digitalisation and innovations help the company organise logistics more flexibly and more efficiently. At the same time, almost 10,000 vehicles coming off the production line daily must be delivered to customers around the globe. Digitally connected delivery, so-called Connected Distribution, ensures that these transport routes are also more transparent.

This Remote-Controlled Underwater Drone May Be the Future of Ocean Exploration

They say that we know more about the infinite expanse of the cosmos than we know about our own oceans. Well one new Russian underwater drone called the Glider 2.0 might be able to close the gap. The 8 foot long autonomous underwater robot was tested outside St. Petersburg in the Leningrad Oblast on Wednesday. However, the military has also taken note of his modern day robotic Jacques Cousteau. The torpedo-like Glider 2.0 can operate completely autonomously, has stealth capabilities, and can stay in the sea for up to six months at a time between refueling and service. This makes it ideal for military purposes, including surveillance and reconnaissance. In essence, the Glider 2.0 will make an excellent underwater spy. A new modification of the Glider is already being worked on. Developers are planning on increasing its speed and equipping it with a folding water propeller.
