IoT Solutions | Based on our corporate slogan Intelligent Logistics?, GROUND is providing various types of logistics robots in partnering with global top leaders of robotic field.
AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) Robots
AMR is an autonomous robot that performs working support while collaborating with staff in the "picking" process of warehouse work.
Gripper Robots
Soft Robotics designs and builds soft robotic automation systems that can grasp and manipulate items with human hand-like dexterity.
GTP (Goods to Person) Robots
Butler Robots bring inventory stored in racks to the operator. With the throughput of up to 600 picks per hour per picker, the system improves productivity by 8-10 times.
Dynamic Allocation System - DyAS?
Logistics Cash-Flow optimizing software
DyAS helps create field environments where operation is possible even without an experienced manager present by transforming what are conventionally personal management tasks into explicit knowledge. In addition, by developing a quantitative understanding of field operations that are sensory-based and primarily rely on experience, intuition and guts, even in recent e-commerce supply chains with a host of uncertain elements, everyone will be on the same page, from stakeholders and the managers at each site to their staff. This helps minimize unreasonableness and waste while speeding up the decision-making process and improving business quality. | Real-Time Diagnostics for Entire Facilities Augury monitors and protects production line assets as well as utility and balance of plant equipment. We arm engineering, maintenance, and reliability professionals with continuous insights to improve asset performance across their facilities. Reliability Meets Artificial Intelligence Augury’s technology places the power of Artificial Intelligence into the hands of engineers, reliability experts, and maintenance professionals. Our platform listens to machines, analyzes data in real time, and provides accurate and actionable machine health insights. | Nerve Blue is an industrial software platform that enables machine builders to deliver data and offer services to customers from machines installed anywhere in the world. Nerve Blue offers an out-of-the-box experience, with an intuitive user interface and Edge Computing features that allow users to collect, store and analyze Machine Data, consolidate multiple functions on one device, and remotely manage software. Using Nerve Blue, machine builders can reduce system complexity and cost, improve machine performance, and offer innovative new services to customers. With Nerve Blue, data can be accessed from machines and shared seamlessly with applications at the edge, stored in a time-series database, or sent securely to the cloud. Nerve Blue implements a virtualized software environment for multi-core edge devices, enabling Virtual machines to share compute resources (e.g. CPU, memory, network) safely and securely. Nerve Blue includes a web-based management system that can be hosted locally or in the cloud. The management system allows users to configure software and deploy workloads to Edge Computing devices around the world. Nerve Blue scales to run on various CPU models ranging from Intel Atom to i7.

lighting control – sensing ambient light, pasive infrared movement detection, and energy metering for control of lighting,
environment – ambient temperature, humidity, sound, CO2, and TVOC for management of the environment and workplace,
real time location – Bluetooth tracking and location of assets and people for real time utilisation, efficiency, safety and security in the workplace. Levaux’s core competitive advantage stems from an architecture designed from the outset as an integrated complex system that is enterprise scalable, secure and robust without sacrificing speed. This military specification (or ‘MIL SPEC’) capability and platform comes from the founder’s steeped background in military systems and networked warfare based on a PhD in Complex Systems Engineering solving computational quantum mechanics problems using distributed communication techniques The Levaux capability is not the typical ‘software’ start up but a business that represents the intersection between Information Technology (IT) and Operation Technology (OT), where information through monitoring now effects outcomes through control. Importantly the powerful Levaux ‘communications backhaul’ delivers;
1. low latency and high bandwidth – round trip from server to gateway and sensor under 200ms across an IP network and wireless mesh network
2. asynchronous, bi-directional; communication based on a session managed RPC connection eschewing the Internet of Things or IoT preference for ‘lite’ message-based cloud connectivity protocols,
3. Quality of Service with; scalable efficient protocols that minimise bandwidth, with dynamic (addressable and updatable) Firmware, and edge compute capability allowing sensors and gateways to process data at the source, providing autonomy and removing cloud dependency, whilst improving speed, performance and reliability, affording scaling of a robust integrated complex system,
4. security based on authenticated connections with multiple layers of Encryption and binary encoded data,
5. Interoperability at the device, mesh, gateway and cloud level affording unlimited flexibility with; applications and assets all addressable via OpenAPI, built on cloud agnostic tools allowing full transportability and localisation to meet with disciplined security and protocols and demanding legal jurisdictions. | | Industry 4.0 Software solution, PPM - Production Performance Manager, Big Data, Data Analytics, Cloud solutions, Predictive Maintenance, KPI Monitoring, Machine Monitoring, OEE software, IoT Gateway | WorkLink (Scope AR's work instruction authoring platform) allows for the quick assembly and dissemination of information and skills across your organization, ensuring that your experts’ knowledge is captured and codified, and that the entire organization has the most up-to date information and instruction the moment it’s available. By enabling in-house creation of virtual instruction manuals, WorkLink accelerates the production process, lowers production costs, and improves data security. It also makes it possible to continuously improve workflows by gathering and analyzing meta-data such as timestamps, video logs, and user activities. Remote AR, which can work in concert with or separately from WorkLink, enables workers to virtually connect with in-house experts for real-time guidance that’s supported by an Augmented Reality toolset. The expert can see exactly what the worker sees and provide clear, visual, step-by-step guidance to ensure that even the most complicated workflows can be completed with ease. | AiR Glasses enable users to view critical work information right in their field-of-view and interact with it using familiar gestures, voice commands, and motion Tracking.
