Pioneering design that emphasizes safety, efficiency and practicality

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Delta, a global leader in power management and a provider of IoT-based smart green solutions, today announced its D-Bot Series Collaborative Robots (Cobots) have been honoured with the prominent 2024 “Red Dot: Best of the Best” award for their state-of-the-art design quality and creativity. The “Best of the Best” accolade, the highest recognition in the “Red Dot Award: Design Concept” category, is a testament to Delta’s superior capabilities in designing and developing cutting-edge smart manufacturing solutions.

 

 

Michael Mayer-Rosa, Senior Director, Industrial Automation Business Group at Delta Electronics EMEA Region, said, “Delta is highly committed to innovation, consistently investing over 8% of its revenues into R&D, and design is a key focus of our innovation strategy. Moreover, this award from Red Dot reinforces our confidence in having excelled in the design of our cobots. The cobot segment is one of the fastest-growing sectors in automation technology*, and Delta aims to meet this demand with its D-Bot Series Cobots. With a design boasting industry-leading safety, efficiency and practicality, we believe Delta’s D-Bot Cobots will fulfil the sophisticated needs of our customers across a broad range of applications.”

The D-Bot Series Collaborative Robots were presented to the public by Delta for the first time at this year’s Hannover Messe. The Series comprises six highly flexible models of collaborative industrial robots, each with six axes, payloads of up to 30 kg and reaches of up to 1,800 mm, as well as compatibility with EtherCAT, Modbus and CODESYS.

Safety is the top priority

As the cobots are designed for interaction with people in production environments, safety plays a very important role in the product design. The innovative “Reflex Safety” recognises contact at lightning speed and reverses the movement immediately to prevent accidents and protect both personnel and equipment. The integration of high-end sensors and collision detection (one-finger tap) maximise safety.

The D-Bot Series also fulfils the requirements of protection class IP66 and supports advanced safety protocols for a safe and efficient work area. Thanks to IP66, the susceptibility to contamination inside the cobot is also very low and the exterior can be easily cleaned.

The D-Bot Series from Delta is designed for rapid deployment in a wide variety of environments. Delta’s collaborative robots are designed for a variety of tasks: the assembly of complicated components, the handling of materials or heavy palletising tasks, the D-Bots excel in all areas.

The Red Dot Award is an international prize that was first awarded in 1954. Every year, a jury of experienced product designers assesses a wide variety of products based on their design philosophy. They honour innovative product designs with the world-famous “Red Dot” seal. The award ceremony will take place on 10 October 2024 in Singapore. Afterwards, the exhibition of the winners will be opened at the Red Dot Design Museum in Singapore.

Notes:

(*) Forecasts by market researchers at Interact Analysis expect the global demand for cobots to achieve an annual growth rate of approximately 20 percent until 2032. Link: https://interactanalysis.com/new-application-scenarios-key-to-collaborative-robot-market-success/

Dynamic Pricing Raises New Questions for Forwarders Evaluating Automated Freight Quoting

As freight forwarders adopt AI freight quoting software, Aircon founder Chris Condon says buyers should measure more than response speed. He urges teams evaluating freight quote automation software to count total operator time, including review and correction, and to check how quotes hold up when shipment details change.

LEWISVILLE, Texas, Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As more freight forwarders adopt AI freight quoting software to keep pace with shifting rates, a practical question is emerging: how much of the time saved is later spent checking and fixing what the software produces? Chris Condon, founder and CEO of Aircon, says buyers evaluating freight quote automation software should look at dynamic pricing alongside the work required to turn a supplier’s rate into a customer commitment. His comments follow G2’s 2026 AI Agents Report, updated October 14, which examines the operating costs of reviewing and correcting automated work.

“A higher rate can still be the right choice if it supports the required service,” Condon said. “What matters is knowing what the price includes, which conditions apply and what still has to be confirmed before the customer relies on the answer.”

“Think about a hotel when a major concert comes to town,” Condon said. “Demand goes up, there are only so many rooms, and prices can rise. Freight responds to supply and demand too. The forwarder’s job is to work out whether the available price and service meet the customer’s need.”

Freight pricing reflects more than demand. Costs, contract terms, and shipment requirements all shape the final number. A changing rate tells the forwarder something about one particular option… building a customer offer still requires checking service conditions, outstanding confirmations, and the forwarder’s own commercial rules.

That verification step is where automated freight quoting is put to the test. Condon refers to it as decision assurance: organizing the inputs and evidence behind a proposed commitment, flagging open questions, and keeping a record of the decision, while the forwarder retains judgment and the customer relationship.

“A higher rate can still be the right choice if it supports the required service,” Condon said. “What matters is knowing what the price includes, which conditions apply and what still has to be confirmed before the customer relies on the answer.”

G2’s report draws on a July survey of 1,019 business technology decisionmakers across industries. Forty-five percent of respondents said oversight and rework consume more than a quarter of their expected productivity gains. The findings are self-reported and cover enterprise AI adoption broadly; the report is not specific to freight.

For teams comparing freight quoting software for forwarders, Condon suggests looking beyond response speed. He recommends measuring total operator time, including review and correction, and asking how any freight quote management software handles changes to shipment details…and whether a second operator can understand the conditions behind an earlier quote.

“The practical standard is to give the team time back and keep the judgment behind the customer commitment clear,” Condon said.

About Aircon:

Aircon provides decision-assurance software for freight forwarders, supporting the review that takes place before a quote becomes a customer commitment. It preserves inputs, evidence, and decision state within the forwarder’s existing workflow, while the forwarder retains the customer relationship and commercial judgment.

DataLogix AI Launches Workplace Video Resources for Businesses Exploring AI and Robotics Training

New calculator, business owner guide and inquiry form help companies assess workplace video alongside existing business records.

UNION, N.J., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DataLogix AI, a division of Trailblaze Solutions LLC, has launched online resources to help business owners explore first-person workplace video for AI and robotics training. The new resources include a workplace-video overview, an adjustable revenue calculator, a business owner guide and an inquiry form for discussing potential fit.

The launch adds a second starting point alongside DataLogix AI’s existing focus on licensing business records. Owners can compare written operating history, such as internal email, chat, tickets and project records, with newly recorded footage showing the hands, tools and steps involved in approved physical tasks. Businesses with both types of activity can explore each separately.

The workplace-video resources describe possible tasks in areas including warehousing, maintenance, construction, production and vehicle service. These examples are discussion starting points, not confirmed eligible categories. The guidance asks owners to review participant consent, recording permissions, safety, equipment and footage acceptance criteria before beginning.

The calculator models a four-week scenario using the number of participating workers, accepted recording hours per worker and an assumed payment rate. Owners can optionally enter employee compensation and other business costs. All figures are illustrative. The calculator does not establish an offered rate, forecast earnings or determine eligibility, and a result after entered deductions is not net profit.

The accompanying guide explains how the two opportunities differ in preparation, rights and economics. It includes questions about who may approve participation, what can be recorded or licensed, who may receive the material and how payment would be determined. Owners can review the resources without uploading company records or workplace footage.

Businesses interested in learning more can use the inquiry form to describe their company and the opportunity they would like to discuss. An inquiry is not enrollment, recording permission or a payment offer. Program availability, equipment and commercial terms require separate confirmation, and payment may be zero.
