The Pollution Mask You've Been Waiting For

 Hey, here’s a mask like no other.

The most advanced protection in the fight against air pollution.

95% of the global population are exposed to unsafe air, according to major studies.

16 people die every minute around the world due to air pollution.

Pollution exposure has been scientifically linked to dementia, heart disease, lung cancer and depression, among many other health problems.

 Fitness and workplace productivity are also affected.

 it’s even been found in the placenta, so it’s affecting babies before they’re even born. Most people aren’t aware of the impact it has, which is why we’re raising awareness and have created a unique product that will improve outdoor safety and give you the clean air you deserve.

 This is true innovation. We’ve solved a problem and our mask will fit your face like no other. We’ve used the most advanced technology to analyse a range of faces and create a unique design. Our medical grade silicon can be trusted to maximise effectiveness for you in polluted cities.

 Coronavirus (Covid-19)

Can this mask protect you?

We always want to be precise and honest with our community. Masks cannot provide 100% protection against a virus, but they can reduce the risk of transmission. Virus particles are tiny and can theoretically pass through a respirator filter, so a risk always remains. However, masks like ours are an effective means of capturing larger droplets from coughing and sneezing, which carry the virus inside them, in what are known as aerosols. This is a key transmission route of Covid-19. It's particularly beneficial when there’s an airtight seal, which ours has. We have designed the Airhead mask to meet the highest industry standards, which includes PM0.3 filters that meet and exceed FFP3 (N99) certification, above the FFP2 (N95) minimum standards recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Autonomous transport systems

MT Robot AG is an innovative robotics specialist and develops comprehensive software for

Control of autonomously navigating robots as single or multi-robot solution.

http://mt-robot.ch/

There are many systems and tools on the market which pursue the goal of optimizing the productivity of logistic processes. These include mobile robots and mobile transport robots. However, the complexity of these systems makes it difficult to measure them. Investment decisions are therefore strategic and usually of long-term nature.

What role can mobile robots play in achieving the goals of Industry 4.0 and how can they optimize the productivity of logistics processes? An important aspect here is flexibility in terms of production volumes. Here, small series and prototype production are the focus of the companies. An essential component is also the optimization of machine utilization and the reduction of downtimes.

Many medium-sized companies still work in single shifts. This means that the machines only run or are used to capacity for a third of the time. If you compare this time with the downtime caused by a tool change, this is a relatively long period of time in comparison. The task of mobile robots or transport robots is to help optimize these processes. The combination of both robots within the process achieves a synergy effect. Material is straightened in central material stores during a shift. Instead of automating each individual machine, the mobile robot is used to change workpieces. The supply and disposal of the parts is carried out by the transport robot. During normal production operation, the transport robots take over the material supply, the delivery of tools and the interlinking of the production stages. The personnel is still needed. However, they can concentrate on central, high-quality and demanding activities (e.g. work preparation, quality assurance). This in turn requires a high degree of changeability and flexibility from the infrastructure. The result is a sustainable improvement in productivity and cost reduction. In addition, the service life of the machine can be doubled or even tripled.

This approach is particularly suitable for the production of small series or for the production of semi-finished products which are required for subsequent series production. An evaluation of the data collected during operation forms the basis for future optimization. A further and important step towards networked production and industry 4.0. <<

Solve the biggest problem in beekeeping today

The 1.6 millimetre small #varroa mite is the biggest problem of today's #beekeeping worldwide. The #parasite nests in the beehives, sucks out larvae and transmits harmful viruses. Without treatment a #colony of #bees dies within three years. Until now, bee colonies have therefore been treated with chemicals. These acids damage the bees and thus become a cause of bee mortality themselves. Residues of it can also be found in our #honey when used incorrectly.

The core piece against the #Varroa is a #heating #wire, which is inserted by #Vatorex directly into the middle walls. Thus the entire #incubation #chamber is equipped with heating wires except for the edge honeycombs (normally 8 heating honeycombs).

Our sophisticated electronics register all connected combs and heat them fully automatically and repetitively every 16 days to 41 °C. You switch the system on in April and off in October - there's nothing to do in between.

Due to the integrative approach, our solution is available for all types of hives, it also works with solar power and even with its own wax cycle.

At Vatorex we put the bee at the centre of all our efforts. We help beekeepers to control the varroa mite, the biggest threat to honeybees today, to ensure the vitality and productivity of the bees. We develop and market innovative high-tech solutions for monitoring and managing beehives, so that our customers can take optimum care of their bees.

A lively and vital bee population ensures a healthy ecosystem and flourishing biodiversity, as bees are the most important pollinator of plants. In addition, one third of our food is dependent on bees. They are extremely important for our agriculture and food security.

Bees play an important role in our society and environment.

At Vatorex we want to contribute to a healthy, robust and sustainable world by supporting bees.

The first fully #autonomous #machine for more #ecological and #economical #weed #control.

Control the weeds in an intelligent way.

No more widespread #herbicide application, now targeted and accurate #application is possible. Just the right amount in the right place.

#AVO carries out autonomous #weeding work on #plantations and row #crops. Using the latest #mechanical #methods, the #robot identifies the #weeds and #sprays them selectively with a #micro-dose of #herbicide. The centimetre-accurate detection and spraying reduces the volume of the #herbicide used by more than 95%, while at the same time ensuring that the plants are not sprayed to safeguard yields.

AVO #works completely #autonomously and is powered by #solar #energy and rechargeable #batteries.  The user can enter information about #field #boundaries and cutting lines in the user interface software. The system then generates a navigation path, taking into account field restrictions and user-defined inputs. By combining GPS RTK positioning and visual navigation, AVO #navigates with #high #precision, #ensuring #minimal #crop #rollover.

The #four-wheel #drive allows the robot to overcome #obstacles and #work on slopes such as those found in the #crop #industry. All four wheels can be steered independently, which gives the robot high #manoeuvrability and a short #turning #radius, minimising unmanageable field areas.

Due to AVO's speed, a standard throughput of 0.6 ha per hour can be achieved.  The robot can also work at night to further increase its daily throughput. Depending on sunlight, battery charge and terrain conditions, the robot can treat up to 10 ha per day (including night operation).

When the assembly line arrived, the workers ran away

"A #mechanical #device pretended that #people had to #react #to it. This meant that the same cuts, fixed handles were determined by #machine," explains Jürgen Bönig, research assistant at the Hamburg #Museum #der #Arbeit, who did his doctorate on the assembly line. "It was a #new #work #organization that #increased #performance and made it possible #for #unskilled #workers, rather than skilled workers, to take over the work".

This working principle fascinated Ford. In May 1913, he started out in his car factory with a mechanical sliding belt. "The individual parts were pushed by hand," Bönig said. The principle was improved more and more, "the work steps had to be precisely timed and coordinated with each other". It was a difficult process, which was honed by the end of the year. "At the beginning of 1914, the electric assembly line was added. The parts were now pulled by a motorized external drive," says Bönig. The finished end product was the T-model. Tin Lizzy, Blechliesel, was the name of the car whose new production method saved time and money. Instead of twelve hours, it took only two and a half hours to assemble the car. The price dropped from 850 to 370 dollars.

But the workers were not very enthusiastic about the monotonous and strenuous job. "They ran away in rows," Bönig knows. So Ford lured them with good wages, paid five dollars a day and guaranteed an eight-hour shift. His theory: Whoever earns better can afford more, and primarily the cheaper mass goods.

The result is what you see in this video. Think before you develop.
