What did Kuka Robotics and Calvary Robotics showcase at Automate 2023?

The two companies demonstrated mobility solutions that integrate Kuka's industrial robotic arms with autonomous mobile platforms. These solutions are designed to bring greater flexibility to manufacturing floors and logistics operations by allowing robots to move freely rather than remaining fixed to one location.

Why is combining mobile platforms with industrial robot arms significant?

Traditional industrial robots are fixed in place, limiting their utility to a single workstation. By mounting robotic arms on mobile bases, manufacturers can deploy robots dynamically across different tasks and locations, increasing operational flexibility and reducing capital expenditure on fixed infrastructure.

How does this collaboration between Kuka and Calvary Robotics benefit end users?

Calvary Robotics acts as a systems integrator, translating Kuka's hardware capabilities into turnkey automation solutions tailored to specific customer needs. Together, they offer end users faster deployment, integrated support, and solutions that can evolve alongside changing production requirements.

Jemal and DivcoWest plan 323 apartments inside a 1982 DC office building

Jemal Real Estate Strategies and DivcoWest plan to convert 1255 23rd Street NW, a 342,000-square-foot Washington, D.C. office building, into about 323 apartments. Madison Realty Capital lent $40 million for acquisition and predevelopment. DivcoWest is the current owner of the property and will retain an equity interest.

01About 323 apartments at 1255 23rd Street NW would come close to the nearly 350 units Jemal Real Estate Strategies has created across its Syracuse and Richmond conversions combined, in a single building.
02An owner of an older office building near transit does not have to exit to get a conversion started: DivcoWest is selling into the venture and keeping an equity interest alongside the new sponsor.

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Element Materials Technology explains NVR and gravimetric cleanliness testing for aerospace, defense and medical parts in a webinar featuring its Hartford and Los Angeles labs. Joe Moore and Katie Legowski show how a blank analysis, a solvent rinse and a weighed filter patch turn invisible residue into a number against IEST-STD-CC1246 levels, and how AMS 2700 F changed the passivation acid default in 2018.

01Nonvolatile residue testing weighs what a solvent rinse removes from a part, so a film the eye cannot see becomes a pass or fail figure against the drawing.
02IEST-STD-CC1246E, the document that replaced MIL-STD-1246 in 2002, sets residue limits from 10 nanograms to 25 milligrams per 0.1 square meter, and its particle levels count down to 5 microns, far below the 100 micron width of a hair.

Bain Capital's reported $250M minority investment values construction platform Kahua above $1B

Bain Capital's Tech Opportunities fund is putting a reported $250 million into Kahua at a valuation above $1 billion. The deal follows what Kahua says is $100 million in annualized revenue. The bet rests on owner-side program data, with AI features the next sign to watch for hospitals, ports and school builders.

01Kahua is selling AI on the strength of the governed data owners already keep in it. That makes data quality and permissions the place to test any new AI feature it ships.
