Researchers from Microsoft and the University of Washington have demonstrated the first fully automated system to store and retrieve data in manufactured DNA — a key step in moving the technology out ...

It’s part of the plant’s $17 million expansion into automated parts storage and retrieval which Kenworth execs say will make truck assembly more efficient and less labor intensive.

Hai Robotics’ solutions maximize vertical storage up to 32+ feet, reduce storage footprints up to 75%, increase workflow efficiency gains up to 4x, and improve order pick accuracy to 99.9%+.
