Abstract: Automated robotic harvesting systems and methods for harvesting electrodeposited metals from a cell, and specialized end of arm tooling for use in automated robotic harvesting systems and methods for harvesting electrodeposited metals from a cell, are disclosed. A harvesting tool comprises an extraction gripping unit configured to extract a starter sheet and metal electrodeposited on the starter sheet from a cell, and a harvesting gripping unit configured to separate the starter sheet from the metal for harvesting the metal.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for remotely isolating and energizing distributed mechanical equipment in an industrial environment. The methods and systems disclosed herein are able to remotely and safely isolate the primary sources of energy in industrial environments (e.g. electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic) from mechanical equipment at a site from a single location. A method of installing a field isolation device for mechanical equipment in an industrial environment is also disclosed.
