      <title>Vecna Robotics Distinctive Warehouse Robotics Solution Featured in Forbes Magazine</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Cambridge, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 02/21/2018 --  Vecna Robotics&apos; distinctive warehouse robotics solution was recently featured in Forbes magazine; the article was authored by Steve Banker. Dan Patt, Vecna CEO and Daniel Theobold, Vecna Chief Innovation Officer, highlighted the potential to improve warehousing and order fulfillment. <br />
<br />
Vecna offers a spectrum of robots designed for different tasks - each picking, case put or pick, pallet moves, and tuggers for the warehouse yard. In other markets, over time the market starts to move to providers that offer a broader selection of products and just "one throat to choke" if something goes wrong.<br />
<br />
Vecna&apos;s second differentiator is that their robots are highly collaborative. Amazon&apos;s Kiva robots, for example, are designed to be operated in a section of the warehouse off limits to humans.  Vecna&apos;s robots have vision systems that allow them to navigate safely around humans and share common transit paths. Their robots can also collaborate with other robots. For example, a case pick robot might place a case on an AGV style robot that would then transport the case to a pallet build station.<br />
<br />
While Vecna has been around since 1998, Vecna&apos;s warehouse robots have only been generally available since last April. As the technology and market matured, Vecna decided to spin out a robotics business to focus on the promising logistics solutions marketplace. They have invested tens of millions in R&amp;D into robotics, have over a hundred issued and pending patents. Vecna&apos;s early implementations have convinced large companies to expedite scaling of their robots to enterprise operations.<br />

      <title>Vecna Robotics Offers AGVs with IIoT Monitoring at MODEX</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Cambridge, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 02/19/2018 --  Vecna Robotics is pleased to be the only AGV exhibitor at MODEX offering IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) Monitoring. Vecna AGVs can handle the transport of pallets to intermediate storage buffers automatically. The system also handles the flow of empty pallets to the production lines. The idea of using data captured by automated guided vehicles always seemed like an obvious segue. Before now, all the data points have never been available and actionable in predictive analytics, maintenance, safety, and best-practice lean manufacturing value proposition.  <br />
<br />
The robotic element of AGVs has captured massive media attention and many companies from 3PLs to fast-growing e-commerce organizations, are hunting for the best solution. The impact of Amazon cannot be underestimated as the entire nature of omni-channel fulfillment, goods-to-person delivery, high labor demand, and low labor availability are driving to the critical intersection of AGVs and IIoT 24/7 Monitoring.  <br />
<br />
No longer an option, no AGV should ever be purchased without 24/7 IIoT Monitoring. As part of industrial, manufacturing, and distribution innovation policy, companies in record numbers are striving for continuous improvement. Even 3-shift operations benefit when others objectively review plant floor operations and take mandatory corrective action.<br />

Only Vecna Robotics will offer their AGVs with IIoT Monitoring at MODEX 2018. MODEX AGV buyers can cut through the red tape and drive financial efficiency immediately. Vecna Robotics understands the critical role of leasing AGVs. AGVs can be an expensive upfront proposition. All too often significant investments of time and effort provide no ROI when the proposal reaches the Board for capital funding approval. <br />
<br />
While many manufacturers and distributors find appeal in owning materials handling equipment like AGVs, leasing frees up significant capital for business owners. Leasing capital equipment frees up cash for other financial needs of growing companies. Companies undergoing expansion often allocate resources in a lease to keep capital free for other purposes.  <br />
<br />
Leasing improves liquidity. Keeping operating cash and credit lines free to deal with other expenses provides a best-practice agility. Leasing saves money by offering lower payments because the same rates throughout contract are pre-arranged; the fixed cost allows for predictability. Leasing helps manufacturers and distributors compete. <br />
