Flexible automation is the future of warehousing to transform traditional supply chain operations. Adopting automotive technology and robotics will maximize asset utilization and improve productivity. Collaborative robots, or “cobots,” are a major trend in the adoption of robots working alongside the human workforce. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) data analysis by DC …
Most adsorbents used for direct air capture of carbon dioxide are reversible. These adsorbents can be cycled several times to capture and release carbon dioxide. The most common chemisorbents used for direct air capture of carbon dioxide from the air include calcium and sodium-based sorbents. Physisorbents like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), activated carbons, and zeolites have …
