Adaptability is one of the most important skills you can have in today’s business world.

No one was expecting a pandemic to shut business down and create new challenges, but those who have been able to change on the fly have weathered the storm well.

Not only is Vecna Robotics flexible, said David Clear, the company’s Chief Revenue Officer, it’s flexible in a pair of key ways.

“We use the word flexibility quite a bit, and it can mean two broad things. Flexibility of the technology means being capable of completing a number of different tasks using the same robot,” he said. “With our technology, we have a considerably higher degree of flexibility in terms of the range of tasks we can perform at a single site.”

Vecna’s innovative autonomous mobile robots, or AMRs, are reshaping how work is done by adapting to their environment and changes in instructions, obstacles and more in real time.

And this automation may be more attainable for operations than most realize, providing ways to be agile and future-proof.

“The other side is the ability to adjust to changes in demand. That can be growth of a company – if your business continues to grow, you can flex with that. You don’t have a maximum capacity by virtue of having invested in a particular type of automation. The other one is some of those seasonal peaks and demands.”

With a remote deployment and evaluation process for industrial automation projects, Vecna makes sure work can continue even at a time like this, when the coronavirus pandemic has made business travel all but impossible and letting crews into your facility means increased safety hazards.

They also can go from start to finish in just four weeks, making sure you can change with the times – or as demand increases or declines.

Nvidia puts a Vera Rubin AI factory in a shipping container and says it can go live in 14 days

Nvidia puts a Vera Rubin AI factory in a shipping container and says it can go live in 14 days

Nvidia introduced DSX POD, a containerized reference design that standardizes assembly of Vera Rubin AI factory blocks offsite before delivery, aiming to reduce onsite deployment work from six months to roughly two weeks. Partners build, test and cable complete systems in containers; sites still must handle land prep, power generation, water supply and external connectivity in parallel.

  • 01Containerized assembly moves factory-critical tasks like cabling, loop flushing and commissioning offsite, converting unpredictable project work into repeatable products with test records.
  • 02Power enters each core container at 800 volts DC; sites must engineer upstream generation and conversion. Cooling is liquid only; containers handle internal plumbing while sites supply water and heat rejection.
  • 03Deployment time depends on parallel site preparation: land, foundations, power and external connectivity must be ready before container arrival; on-site work is reduced, not eliminated.

A digital twin without real-time data is only a 3D model

A digital twin without real-time data is only a 3D model

Premio product marketing specialist Annie Yang, speaking at Embedded World North America 2026, separates operational digital twins from design simulations and maps a rugged edge computer's four jobs: connect, process, accelerate and operate. Premio's VCL, RCL and JCL series hold up to two full-height, full-length GPUs, and Nvidia's Jetson range spans 157 to 2,070 TOPS.

  • 01Premio's VCL, RCL and JCL series hold up to two full-height, full-length GPUs, and the NVIDIA RTX Pro Blackwell is the newest card the company supports.
  • 02Nvidia's own Jetson figures run from 157 TOPS to 2,070 TOPS, which is why Premio offers Intel, Jetson and AMD processors for different twin workloads.

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

US industrial production rose 0.7% in September, led by a 3.5% jump in utilities output while factories added only 0.3%. Factory output remains below its 2017 level. Total capacity use hit 76.9%, but manufacturing's 75.9% rate shows slack persists on production lines even as mines run above their long-run norm.

  • 01Manufacturing utilization has held between 75.8% and 76.0% since April, 2.3 points under its long-run norm.
  • 02The November 17 release is the test: a factory operating rate breaking out of its six-month band, or utilities giving back September's 3.5%, would change the read on where capacity is tight.
