【摘要】 During the 45th annual NYU International Hospitality Industry Investment Conference in Manhattan in June, Relay Robotics, Inc. introduced its Relay2 hotel delivery robot, featuring upgraded cloud-based elevator integration, two times the payload of earlier models and improved navigation. The Campbell, California-headquartered company observed Relay2 "leverages Relay's proprietary elevator technology to support all elevators" from major manufacturers such as Otis, Schindler, TK Elevator, Mitsubishi Electric, KONE and others. Relay Robotics said the debut of Relay2 comes at a key time, with more than 402,000 hospitality jobs unfilled and 87% of hotels understaffed, according to data from a recent American Hotel and Lodging Association survey. Hotel customers that include Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott and Wyndham told Relay Robotics they needed a larger delivery robot to "handle the newer realities of takeout deliveries from companies like UberEats, GrubHub and DoorDash, and more fully integrate into their hotel operations." Besides greater capacity, Relay2 is outfitted with an 8-in. screen. "We'll continue to build on our proprietary elevator technology and leverage our software platform to make seamless integrations with common apps," Relay Robotics Founder and Chief Technology Officer Steven Cousins said.

【摘要】 Preliminary data from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) show strong growth for the North American robotics market in 2022, with the total number of installations in manufacturing rising by 12% to reach 41,624 units. The number one adopter was the automotive industry, with companies based in the USA, Canada, and Mexico installing 20,391 industrial robots - up 30% compared to 2021. Marina Bill, the IFR's president, said: "North America represents the second-largest operational stock of industrial robots in the world after China. The USA, Canada, and Mexico are key markets in the global growth of robotics automation, and the automotive sector is leading the way. "In the USA, demand from car makers and manufacturers of components rose by 48% in 2022, reaffirming the cyclical demand pattern typical of this customer segment. After a few years of contraction, down from the peak level of 15,397 units in 2017 to 9,854 units in 2021, installations surged to 14,594 units in 2022. "Installation numbers in Canada largely depend on investments by the automotive industry, which accounts for 40% of robot installations. Sales to automotive declined by 36% with 1,258 units installed in 2022 - below the pre-pand-emic level of 1,897 units in 2019. Robot installations to manufacture parts and accessories for motor vehicles were significantly down by 45% with 995 units sold, although demand for motor vehicle, engine and body production grew by 99%, with 263 units sold.

【摘要】 With the UK still lagging behind other G7 countries on its adoption of industrial robots, Neli Ivanova of Siemens Financial Services (SFS) in the UK explores how specialist finance can help to support investment to keep UK manufacturing world-leading. Alongside other automation technologies, robots are helping with productivity and efficiency. Automation is changing the face of global manufacturing, and this is, in large part, driven by widespread adoption of industrial robots. These robots support more efficient, precise and flexible processes. On the factory floor, the latest robotic automation technology performs a range of manufacturing tasks - welding, cutting, assembling parts, labelling, handling raw materials, product packing - using sensors, controllers and actuators.
