Fumigation

Corrientes prepares to receive tourists from all over the region with the National Festival of Chamamé and Carnivals.

At the same time, Thursday will continue with the same action but in the “Nolo Alias” Corsodrome.
“The fumigation cycles are carried out during the first hours of the morning or at sunset, since they are the hours of greatest activity of the vector.

Walmart replaces humans with androids

Walmart redoubled its commitment to the growth of its robotic workforce. Thus, the retail leader will add shelving scanning robots to 650 stores in the United States.

In this way, it will raise its fleet to 1,000 cyber units in order to speed up the task of restocking on shelves, something that Bloomberg indicates as an annoying problem that costs retailers almost $ 1 billion a year, according to a researcher at the IHL Group.

The new robots, designed by Bossa Nova Robotics Inc., based in San Francisco, join the ranks of the increasingly automated Walmart workforce, which also includes devices for scrubbing floors, unloading trucks and picking up grocery orders at line.

The movement is part of Executive Director Doug McMillon's effort to reduce costs, improve store performance and gain credibility as a technology innovator while fighting Amazon Inc.

The Walmart newspaper report says that shelving scanners can reduce the tasks that once took up to two weeks in a routine twice a day.

"Accelerate the entire cycle," said John Crecelius, senior president of Walmart store innovations.
