This facility presents countless possibilities for Beckhoff to supply the market with breakthrough automation solutions.

The new Beckhoff office sits between the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and downtown Austin, 4 miles from each. This convenient location in one of the Austin’s most vibrant and diverse communities provides accessibility to local culture for visitors from around Texas, the U.S. or the world. The creative office design and 9,000-square-foot central courtyard space are ideal for customer meetings and collaborative brainstorming.

Austin’s rising industries include everything from medical devices and lab automation to EV and battery production, with major activity in process automation and digital manufacturing. The innovators in these industries are embracing our breakthrough technologies, so the Austin office is a great addition to accelerate growth within the region.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
