Vesuvius Malaysia Adopts Exoskeletons for Loading and Packing Tasks
2020-03-13 16:12:05
Founded in 1994, Vesuvius Malaysia is a UK-headquartered manufacturer of clay firebrick and other heat resisting clay products. With the aid of BackX, the workers now are able to carry 25kg of clay without worrying about experiencing back pain.

Vesuvius has a long and successful experience in supporting the Cement industry with the supply of refractories to all areas of the production process. Its production process is very adaptive to different products, and thus automations at some of the production steps might not be the optimal solutions. While with skilled workers in the loop, its versatility is kept.

Due to the overwhelming amount of repeated body bends, workers suffer from back fatigue. Weston Robot (Singapore) introduced back production exoskeletons (a.k.a backX) to Vesuvius Malaysia plant, and received very positive feedback from the field workers. To better help skilled workers in Vesuvius use the exoskeletons, engineers from Weston Robot also spent 2 days on training the workers on proper fitting and maintaining of the device.

    Autonomous Mobile Robots for Outdoor Delivery by Singapore Polytechnic

    Students and researchers from Singapore Polytechnic developed outdoor delivery robot by collaborating with Weston Robot's engineers team using RTK/GPS navigation. he AMRs are able to collect and deliver items, based on request, from one building to another. They are able to navigate around on their own, avoiding obstacles, and returning to their source if any unexpected situation arises.

    Weston Robot Delivered Ackerman-Driven Autonomous Robot to NTU

    To develop autonomous driving related algorithms with a real car is very expensive and requiring large spaces and tracks. However, Ackerman-drive robot, which mimics the behaviour of a car is superiors in many aspects. Autonomous driving research team in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, adopts the Ackerman-drive robot from Weston Robot to conduct their advanced research.
