Seegrid Innovative Vision Guided Vehicles Profiled in Wall Street Journal

LogoSeegrid, maker of vision guided vehicles, was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal. Steve Rosenbush, authored the feature titled, "Seegrid Calculates a New Route for Autonomous Vehicles." According to Rosenbush, "Many of the autonomous vehicles that are expected to come to market by 2020 tackle the problem of perception by using laser sensors or high-definition cameras to absorb data about their environment. Seegrid takes a different approach. Five pairs of low-end cameras maintain a 360-degree view of the vehicle's environment. The data is plotted on a three-dimensional grid. Proprietary algorithms determine the probability that an object is in the space represented by each cell of the grid and assess what that object is likely to be."

Generators Play a Rising Role in Britain's Growing Manufacturing Sector

Recent figures suggest that British manufacturing could be entering a more positive period and therefore buying British is of crucial importance. The nee report from The Office for National Statistics showed that in January of this year, manufacturing output had risen by 0.7% month-on-month. This follows on from falling levels in the previous three months and is a feature of growth that industrial products such as diesel and electrical generators have played a key role in. Not only do these provide the power driving some manufacturing endeavours, but there are a number of models which are themselves manufactured in the UK. It is therefore expected that interest in these units is to rise in the coming months.
