ABB将把Sevensense的人工智能(AI)和3D视觉绘图技术整合到其AMR产品组合中,使其自主移动机器人能够在动态的环境中进行安全的自主导航。
继ABB于2021年7月宣布收购全球领的AMR制造商ASTI移动机器人集团之后,该合作伙伴关系作为ABB战略中的另一项重要举措,将进一步推动下一代柔性自动化并完善ABB机器人与自动化产品组合。此次合作包括对Sevensense进行少数股权投资,该项目将通过ABB的风险投资部门(ABBTechnologyVentures)进行,预计于2021年11月底完成。
ABB机器人与离散自动化事业部总裁安世铭说:”基于我们今年早些时候收购的ASTI移动机器人,我们与Sevensense的合作是我们为客户全面开启柔性自动化的又一个里程碑。将Sevensense的人工智能和3D视觉绘图技术与我们的AMR产品相结合,将有助于加速用高度灵活的生产网络布局来取代目前的线性生产线。我们对未来工作场所的愿景是:AMR在日益非结构化的、动态的工作环境中,在智能工作站之间运送原材料、零部件和成品,我们与Sevensense的合作是实现这一愿景的重要一步。”
Sevensense的导航技术使用先进的计算机视觉和人工智能算法来创建一个比当今的2D解决方案更精的3D地图,从而带来卓越的导航能力,比基于激光扫描仪的导航方案更具成本效益。配备了3D同步定位与绘图技术(SLAM)的AMR将能够准确地了解其环境,识别一个人、一个托盘或另一台机器人,并自主做出绕过这些障碍的决策。这样的智能程度将使人机交互更加安全,并确保工厂和仓库物料流动的安全和高效,实现柔性和生产效率的大化。
Sevensense首席执行官GregoryHitz说:”这对我们来说是恰逢其时的前进的一大步。与ABB的合作为长期合作发展奠定了基础,同时保持了我们作为一个企业完整的独立性。它使我们能够从我们的专业知识中互惠互利,并在长期为我们所有的客户创造更好的产品。同时,ABB的投资给了我们规划的保障。我们非常期待将我们的技术提升到世的规模,并将Sevensense建设成为全球的人工智能视觉及导航企业。“

SevensenseRobotics成立于2018年,是苏黎世联邦理工学院的一家衍生企业,并在前期获得了苏黎世卫斯学院的支持。Sevensense总部位于瑞士苏黎世ETHZ基金会,提供行业级的基于3DSLAM的定位和导航解决方案,服务对象涵盖从叉车到专业清洗机的各类自动服务机器。
• ABB EV charging technology to help electrify one of the largest manufacturers of medium- and heavy-duty trucks
• PACCAR Parts to provide advanced ABB charging solutions up to 350 kW to service PACCAR fleet operations across North America and Europe
• Partnership will increase operating efficiency and sustainability for PACCAR’s extensive dealer network of 2,265 locations in more than 100 countries
ABB is partnering with PACCAR, a global leader in the design, manufacture, and customer support of high-quality premium trucks, to provide PACCAR dealers and their customers with a range of advanced charging solutions across its fleet operations in North America and Europe. In the United States alone, medium- and heavy-duty trucks account for approximately 25 percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.1
“Pairing ABB, a global leader in fleet electrification, with PACCAR, one of the largest manufacturers of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, is a strategic and sustainable partnership that will accelerate e-fleet expansion and adoption as well as reduce carbon and noise emissions in the transportation sector,” said Frank Muehlon, President of ABB’s E-mobility division. “Like PACCAR, ABB sees tremendous opportunity in electrifying the trucking industry and is committed to delivering safe, smart and sustainable electrification solutions for fleet charging.”
These innovative electric vehicles have batteries that are powerful enough for Peterbilt, Kenworth, DAF CF Electric and LF Electric truck models that require on-demand fast charging for the short dwell times of their fleet routes. ABB’s charging systems help optimize fleet charging with high-power, quick charge breaks or lower power, load-managed overnight charging for longer haul routes and last mile delivery.
“We are pleased to partner with ABB to bring this outstanding solution to our customers and dealers on a global scale,” said John Rich, PACCAR Chief Technology Officer. “Customers will receive the industry-leading operating efficiency and environmental benefits of Peterbilt, Kenworth and DAF zero emissions truck models, combined with ABB’s market-leading EV charging technology.”
Both companies are committed to sustainably serving their customers as well as their own operations. All PACCAR manufacturing locations are ISO 14001 certified, and more than 80 percent are zero-waste-to-landfill, while ABB is progressing toward circular operations as well as carbon neutrality by electrifying its vehicle fleet, sourcing 100 percent renewable electricity, and improving energy efficiency across its sites by 2030.
