Key partnerships for smart and collaborative robotics
AEON’s development is supported by strategic alliances with major technology players. Hexagon incorporated the Jetson Orin processors and the Omniverse platform platform for simulation simulation training and real-time and real-time decisions. Microsoft Azure provides the scalability in the cloud needed to upgrade your analysis capabilities, while maxon actuators enable agile and efficient movement in variable environments.
Schaeffler and Pilatus are already collaborating on field trials with AEON for applications such as parts handling, structure scanning and operator support in automated processes.
AEON robot features
One of AEON’s distinguishing features is its ability to adapt to a wide variety of tasks. From asset inspection to the creation of digital twins, its modular architecture makes it possible to integrate new functions without structural redesign.
In addition, it features a unique battery exchange system that ensures continuous operation without the need for recharging times, a critical factor for uninterrupted production environments.
Technological response to labor shortages
With projected demographics reducing the availability of technical staff, AEON is posed as a robust answer to maintaining operational efficiency. According to the company, this development reinforces its commitment to facilitating sustainable growth through digitization and automation and automation of industrial processes.
With AEON, Hexagon positions itself as a pioneer in the integration of humanoid robotics with advanced measurement technologies, consolidating its leadership in solutions that combine physical and digital intelligence in the service of industry.
