iGAM.COM, THE MARKETPLACE FOR USED ROBOTS AND MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT IS LIVE

Industry veteran NRTC Automation launches e-commerce platform iGAM.com offering affordable used robots, parts, and equipment for global asset managers

Senoia, GA October 24, 2019 - NRTC Automation, an NRTC Alabama, Inc. brand has developed a streamlined marketplace to give industrial facilities the ability to efficiently automate their production lines. iGAM.com is the new e-commerce website to find and purchase excellent-quality reconditioned robots, manufacturing equipment and robot parts from featured brands including ABB, Fanuc, Kuka, and Yaskawa. Robots offered in the iGAM marketplace undergo an inspection and testing that includes cleaning, removing processing equipment, clearing past programming, testing axes and confirming power up. Buying equipment with iGAM will enable manufacturers to stay competitive and harness the power of automation.


"iGAM is disrupting the supply chain for robots and manufacturing equipment by adding the convenience of an e-commerce portal to help manufacturers access the power of artificial intelligence and automation," comments Greg Owens, CEO of NRTC Alabama, Inc. We've made it easy to purchase and benefit from pre-owned robots and manufacturing equipment." Facilities and engineering managers will avoid the 'wait for quote' or 'we'll call you back' options that exist today with other websites because iGAM's entire inventory of trusted equipment and parts is live, all on one platform, and ready for immediate purchase. With iGAM's massive inventory, it is easy to source everything from robots and robot parts to battery chargers, circuit protection, inverters, and servo motors.

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.
