AR glasses to save time and travel for our customers
In normal times, customers used to travel to our plant in The Hague for the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of their new packing lines. Obviously the pandemic has made that difficult or impossible. For this reason, Weighpack started working with RealWear Augmented Reality (AR) glasses last year, and they have proved to be very useful.
New version of Weighpack OMS available
The Overall Management System (OMS) is an optional software package, which supports the operation of your Weighpack packing line. We have recently released version 15 of OMS, which includes a number of updates to the communications protocol for interfacing to external systems and MS Windows support. This version will now be offered as an option for all new lines.
Product news: The Karter AMR
We are well known for our fully-integrated packing lines. Now we are introducing a quite different product range: the Karter Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR). An AMR is similar to an Automatically Guided Vehicle (AGV) or Automatically Guided Cart (AGC), but has a much more advanced navigation and automation system. This makes it easier to integrate in your operations: there is no need for lines on the floor or reflective markers in the building, or continuous commands from the control system. Instead, the Karters have laser scanners for ‘natural feature navigation’. Once they have learned the layout of your building they can find their way around it.
