We are pleased to announce that Alcove Robotics has completed its acquisition of 3check.ai, marking an important milestone in our continued growth and strategic expansion. The addition of 3check.ai strengthens the intelligence layer supporting Alcove Robotics’ automation platforms and enhances our ability to deliver smarter, more reliable, and more scalable solutions for the customers and industries we serve. The transaction was facilitated by Finance Strategy Group, fsg.ai,

It's hard to read anything in 2026 without tripping over a claim that AI will transform manufacturing overnight. The reality on the floor is more measured, and frankly more interesting. The biggest gains we're seeing aren't from replacing people with intelligent machines — they're from giving existing systems better judgment. Consider predictive maintenance. A vibration sensor has been able to detect a failing bearing for years, but the value comes from a model that learns

As budgets close and next year's plans take shape, automation often lands on the capital expenditure shortlist. November is the right time to make the case, because decisions made now determine what's funded in the new fiscal year. But a robotics investment pitched on excitement rarely survives a finance committee. It needs a framework. We encourage clients to build the case around three numbers. The first is fully loaded cost — not just the hardware, but integration, trainin

Mid-summer is peak production season for a lot of our clients — and it's also when we field the most service calls. The reason is simple: heat. Robotic systems are far more sensitive to ambient temperature than most operators realize, and a warehouse that's comfortable in April can become a thermal stress test in late July. Servo motors and drive electronics generate their own heat, and when the surrounding air is already warm, cooling margins shrink fast. The symptoms are su

As the first quarter winds down, it's the ideal moment to take stock of the systems you stood up in January. Too many teams deploy robotics and automation in a burst of New Year ambition, then never circle back to measure whether those deployments are actually earning their keep. Spring is for cleaning, and that applies to your automation stack as much as your garage. Start with utilization. A robotic cell running at 40% capacity isn't a productivity win — it's idle capital.
