BRUSSELS, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced it has signed an agreement with Taurob (Dietsmann Group) to provide a holistic robotic solution that would enable industrial organizations to move towards autonomous operations in their facilities. Taurob designs and manufactures ground robots for inspection, maintenance and data collection to optimize and enhance efficiency on a variety of industrial sites.

Kalypso, Rockwell’s digital services business, and Taurob will work together to provide clients with an end-to-end robotic automation solution that will herald the next phase in industrial automation and transformation. This partnership will amplify Rockwell’s position as a leader in robot automation and digital twin solutions and Taurob’s position as a leader in ground robots for industrial inspection.

“In working towards the goal of autonomous operations, many industrial companies have considered the design of facilities, connectivity, digital solutions, and artificial intelligence, but manual inspection of facilities is still commonplace,” said Matt Graves, Kalypso digital principal, process industries. “As a next phase in industrial automation, companies are now looking at how to automate fleets of inspection robots using digital twin and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. This partnership will be a huge step in helping our clients meet their efficiency, net zero, and safety goals.”

Taurob’s robots can perform missions under harsh environmental conditions to gather video, audio and sensor data, detect gas leaks and manipulate valves while adhering to the strictest industry safety standards and supporting customers’ net-zero initiatives.

Autonomous operations have long been an aspiration across industrial process sectors such as oil and gas, mining, and chemicals due to the hazardous working environments. In fact, Taurob’s robots are ATEX certified, a strict and compulsory certification that allows them to work especially in the oil and gas industry. They also offer high resistance to hot environments and up to four hours of mission runtime, among other advantages.

Kalypso and Taurob will provide a holistic solution from the physical robot and sensors, through to the robot supervision software, for mission data analysis using AI/ML and systems integration. This will allow organizations to move towards autonomous operations with the business value of a solution for inspection and maintenance that increases personnel safety, reduces OPEX and improves production throughput.

“Our partnership with Rockwell will become a game changer with respect to scaling our unique ATEX-certified robots around the world,” said Taurob’s co-founder and managing director, Matthias Biegl. “Our respective expertise complements one another to offer an integrated solution, in addition to which we will be able to streamline sales and marketing efforts to optimize and enhance efficiency for our clients on a variety of industrial sites.”

Clarivate Repeats Success in Nobel Prize Predictions with Eight New Winners Identified by Citation Laureates Program

Published

on

By

83 Citation Laureates named by the Institute for Scientific Information have received a Nobel Prize since 2002

LONDON, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today announced the success of its annual Citation Laureates™ program, following the accurate forecast of eight Nobel Prize 2024 recipients.

Powered by trusted, high-quality data from the Web of Science Core Collection™ citation index, the Citation Laureates program combines rigorous citation analysis with expert qualitative insights to pinpoint researchers with exceptional citation records who have the potential to receive Nobel honors. This ability to forecast Nobel success – whether years in advance or just months before the official announcements – underscores the reliability and value of this data-driven approach.

Since 2002, the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)™ at Clarivate has identified 441 researchers as Citation Laureates, with 83 later receiving a Nobel Prize. It has successfully forecast recipients every year since 2007.

David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper were named as Citation Laureates this year, just weeks before their Nobel in Chemistry. Physiology or Medicine Nobelists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun were first recognized as Citation Laureates 16 years ago, in 2008. The prize in Economic Sciences, awarded to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James A. Robinson was forecast in 2022.

David Pendlebury, Head of Research Analysis, ISI, Clarivate, said: “The Nobel committees’ choices for both Physics and Chemistry can only be described as bold. The acknowledgment of the transformational role of AI in research in the two categories, back-to-back, is unprecedented. In Chemistry, we quickly saw something extremely unusual with the key AlphaFold paper from Hassabis and Jumper of DeepMind. Published just three years ago, in 2021, it swiftly amassed more than 16,000 citations in the Web of Science Core Collection. This phenomenally high number is statistically unusual and was achieved so quickly, we could not ignore its influence.”

Dr. Nandita Quaderi, Senior Vice President & Editor-in-Chief, Web of Science, Clarivate, said: “Accurately predicting Nobel laureates is challenging. Our ISI analysts have combined their deep bibliometric expertise with more recent AI approaches to develop a proprietary methodology to identify researchers ‘of Nobel class’. These individuals are responsible for producing the research that has the greatest societal impact and will help shape the future by solving the world’s most pressing and complex challenges.”

The eight Citation Laureates named as Nobel laureates in 2024 are:

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun: Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation, named Citation Laureates in 2008. Ambros and Ruvkun’s pioneering research on microRNAs dates back to 1993, and Ambros’s key paper is cited nearly 10,000 times – an occurrence so rare that only 500 publications out of 61 million we have indexed since 1970 are cited at this level. The field they helped establish has expanded dramatically from a handful of papers 20 years ago to around 16,000 per year in 2020.

David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper: Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their research into protein structure prediction and computational protein design respectively, identified by ISI In September 2024. Hassabis and Jumper’s 2021 paper has already received more than 16,000 citations – a remarkable number that reflects the revolutionary impact of this work.

Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James A. Robinson: The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity, named Citation Laureates in 2022. The ISI identified all three using publication and citation analysis – their co-authored 2001 paper has received more than 5,000 citations, which ranks it among the top 10 papers in economics indexed in the Web of Science since 2000.

Notes to editors:

Analysts at the ISI name Citation Laureates aligned to the four Nobel categories of Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry and Economic Sciences. In 2011, 2013 and 2021, the ISI accurately predicted Nobel laureates in all four fields of research.Since 2007, the ISI at Clarivate has successfully forecast researchers who have been the recipients of Nobel Prizes every single year.Learn more about the Hall of Citation Laureates and watch our video interviews with David Baker, John M. Jumper, Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robison.David Pendlebury, Head of Research Analysis at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate is available for interviews.
