“Digital minds” is the title of this year’s Leoben Logistics Summer on September 26 and 27, 2019 at the Montanuniversität in Leoben. This year’s event revolves around digitization and the changes coming with it. It features top speakers and workshops, and an extra portion of practical application. KNAPP will present an expanded version of the Open Shuttle along with other innovative solutions in answer to digitization. There will also be room for discussing both current and future topics related to digitization in the logistics sector with specialists from KNAPP.

Humans and machines in conversation

Today, digitization is omnipresent and humans and machines working together is a matter of course. But where are these trends and innovations leading us? What is happening in the field of AI? These questions and many more will be discussed and answered at the Leoben Logistics Summer. KNAPP will also be there, presenting their newest technologies in answer to the digital age. For their robotic solutions in particular, digitization and the connection between technology and software is vital, because their perfect interplay is what breathes intelligent life into KNAPP’s technologies.

Open Shuttle – the intelligent robot for magazine transport

KNAPP’s Open Shuttles are fantastic networkers. Thanks to their individual and swarm intelligence, the Open Shuttles are always there where the work is. They have an innovative navigation technology and move about unaided in free areas without guiding lines or markings. KNAPP will present a new add-on for the Open Shuttle at the Leoben Logistics Summer: Using a special structure, the top-heavy PCB magazines can be quickly and safely transported through a warehouse or production area. This enhanced variant is of particular interest for electronics production. What’s more, thanks to the EasyUse principle, customers can reconfigure the Open Shuttles by themselves, and integrating the shuttles into a warehouse requires no structural measures.

Artificial intelligence at KNAPP

Machine learning processes are what make KNAPP technologies so intelligent. The human’s role is to feed the machine with data and rules, allowing robots like the Pick-it-Easy Robot to learn self-sufficiently. Thanks to these processes, the machines can keep developing independently.
