Warehouse Automation and Sensors
How can you automate your warehouses? Should you automate your manufacturing? This article is an extension of our Hokuyo and Yujin post, and goes into more depth about warehouse automation.
Why Automate Warehouses?
Let's address the elephant in the room. Are robots going to steal human jobs? No. In fact, many manufacturing and warehouse managers are "employing" robots to improve human employee retention.

Setting up product manufacturing involves many complicated systems and processes. In order to produce millions of devices a month, companies need to massively scale these systems. Yet this scale is in direct conflict with fast product changes and time-to-market for "the next big thing".
BrainStem® Technology
Acroname's BrainStem® technology is a foundational tool for bridging the gap between hardware and software systems. BrainStem controllers gather and relay peripheral information to other systems, which may be a host computer, additional microcontrollers or an array of sensors and testing equipment.
Mobile Diagnostics System blog post
Today's mobile devices continue to integrate more features and functions into ever smaller packages. Features usually win over battery life during the design phase. In order to help quantify and develop test methods, Acroname was contracted by a major cellphone manufacturer to design a mobile diagnostic system for cellphones.
Linearizing Sharp Ranger Data
The Sharp family of infrared ranging modules
These modules are used extensively for robotics and automatic distance measurement applications. Unfortunately, the output of these sensors are inherently non-linear.
