Yaskawa America bringing North American headquarters and 700 jobs to Franklin
Yaskawa America is relocating its North American headquarters to Franklin − bringing 700 jobs and a $180 million investment. The robotics manufacturer is consolidating its Waukegan, Illinois, North American headquarters and its Milwaukee-area industrial operation into one Franklin campus over the next eight to 10 years. The consolidated operations will be in Franklin Business Park campus, at 2 World Packaging Circle. That's according to a June 13 announcement from Gov. Tony Evers, Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., and Yaskawa America. Franklin Mayor John Nelson called Yaskawa America a 'wonderful community partner." "We are grateful to Milwaukee 7 (M7) and WEDC for working with us over the last 22 month(s) to make this happen," Nelson wrote on his Mayor John Nelson - Franklin, WI Facebook page. M7 is southeastern Wisconsin's economic development organization. The new 800,000-square-foot headquarters will include training, lab building, manufacturing and packaging facilities, along with robotics and semiconductor production operations, according to the company. As part of the expansion into southeastern Wisconsin, Yaskawa America also plans to begin manufacturing robots in Franklin that will ship to customers or be integrated into production lines at the company's Ohio facility. 'I am really excited to be celebrating Yaskawa's decision to relocate its headquarters to Wisconsin and expand its footprint here in the Badger State, bringing with them millions of dollars in capital investment in Southeastern Wisconsin and hundreds of high-quality, family-supporting jobs,' Evers said in a statement. WEDC plans to provide up to $18 million of Enterprise Zone tax credits. The exact amount is contingent on how many jobs are created and the amount of capital investment. Missy Hughes, WEDC secretary and CEO, said Yaskawa America is a perfect fit for Wisconsin with the company's 'emphasis on advanced manufacturing and cutting-edge technology.' Mike Knapek, CEO of Yaskawa America, said the company looks forward "to a strong future of growth and innovation in Franklin." Yaskawa America manufactures industrial robots, solar inverters, low and medium voltage AC drives, and motion control products, according to its website. These products are used in such industries as automotive, machine tool, solar, oil and gas and HVAC. The company is celebrating its 110th anniversary globally with 58 years of sales and manufacturing in the United States. Contact Erik S.

SAVE $120: As of May 28, the Samsung 43-inch M7 smart monitor is on sale for just $379.99 at Amazon, down from $499.99. That's a savings of 24%. Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung 43-inch M7 Smart Monitor $379.99 at Amazon $499.99 Save $120 Get Deal The best thing about modern tech is that seemingly every gadget serves multiple purposes. Case in point: the Samsung M7 smart monitor. On one hand, it serves as a second screen to extend your workspace. On the other, it serves as a fully capable smart TV. I have an older model of this monitor (the M5) and can enthusiastically say it's one of my best tech purchases. I'm not a huge fan of the retail price of $499.99, but as of May 28, it's down to just $379.99. That's 24% in savings and only $30 shy of its best price ever. While many tech purchases don't stand the test of time, I've had the older Samsung M5 smart monitor since 2021, and it's still in pristine condition. I've never had a single complaint, truly. The M7 is two generations better, so I can only imagine how much I'd rave about it. Actually, Mashable's RJ Andersen spent a few months with the M7 and did rave about it. SEE ALSO: Heads up: The Samsung Galaxy S25 has never been this cheap before Here's the scoop: The 4K display is bright and crisp with a 60 Hz refresh rate and maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160. Connection-wise, it packs two HDMI ports, three USB-A ports, and one USB-C port. Adaptive Picture technology can adjust your screen brightness for the best viewing experience. Two "Eye Saver" modes help reduce blue light emissions. Samsung Gaming Hub lets you stream games without the need of a console or PC. You can download and enjoy all your favorite streaming apps and even browse the internet, no other device needed. Both the 43-inch and 32-inch options are on sale. My older Samsung M5 smart monitor is still going strong after four years. Credit: Christina Buff / Mashable So long as you have a sturdy internet connection, Samsung's M7 smart monitor works double duty as a brilliant 43-inch TV. I have a smaller, 27-inch model and have streamed plenty of episodes of New Girl on mine without issue. In fact, I used my Samsung monitor as my TV for a few weeks when I moved into my new place. If you're strapped for space and want a single screen for streaming and working, you won't be disappointed. It might even look better than my actual TV. If you're a Samsung loyalist, the M7 monitor even lets you control multiple Samsung tablet and mobile devices with a single mouse and keyboard for greater efficiency. I can't speak to the efficacy of this feature, as I am device-agnostic. I also don't think I'd recommend it to hardcore gamers seeking a monitor, as the refresh rate is a bit low. For pretty much anyone else wanting a monitor that can do the most, I wholeheartedly encourage snagging this baby while it's on sale. Roku Ultra 4K Ultimate Streaming Player (2024 Release) — $79.99 (List Price $99.99) Beats Pill Bluetooth Speaker — $99.95 (List Price $149.95) Roborock Qrevo Master Robot Vacuum and Mop — $899.99 (List Price $1599.99) Peloton Bike — $1,145.00 (List Price $1445.00) Apple AirTag (4-Pack) — $74.99 (List Price $99.00)

Army's next generation rifle designated M7 amid criticism over performance
The Army has officially designated its newest rifle and automatic rifle the M7 and M250, respectively. The move, which the service touted as a 'major program milestone,' comes weeks after the Army's new rifle came in for some heavy criticism from within its own ranks. Both weapons have now received their type classification that confirms they met 'the Army's stringent standards for operational performance, safety, and sustainment,' the service announced this week. But an Army captain has raised serious questions about the Next Generation Squad Rifle — previously known as the XM7 — including whether the weapon's 20-round magazine provides soldiers with enough ammunition for combat. (The War Zone was the first to report on the criticism, and you can read their deep dive here.) 'The XM7 is a tactically outdated service rifle that would be better classified as a designated marksman rifle, if that,' Army Capt. Braden Trent said during his presentation at the Modern Day Marine exhibition in Washington, D.C., in late April. 'This rifle is a mechanically unsound design that will not hold up to sustained combat on a peer-on-peer conflict.' Trent conducted his research into the rifle as part of his project for the Marine Corps' Expeditionary Warfare School. His views are not endorsed by the Defense Department, Army, or Marine Corps, according to his 52-page research paper on the subject. Sig Sauer, which has been awarded a contract to produce the rifle, pushed back on Trent's assertion that the M7 is 'unfit for use as a modern service rifle.' 'We have a very large staff of individuals that work daily on that rifle to ensure that every aspect of its performance is scrutinized, every aspect of its safety is criticized,' Jason St. John, the senior director of strategic products for Sig Sauer, told Task & Purpose for a previous story. 'We are highly confident that we have provided the U.S. Army soldier with a very robust weapon system that is not only safe, but it performs at the highest levels.' Still, questions remain about whether the rifle, which chambers a 6.8mm round, has enough magazine capacity. The M7 is expected to replace the M4A1, which has a 30-round magazine. Trent said he observed a live-fire exercise in which soldiers equipped with the XM7 burned through most of their ammunition within 15 minutes while trying to suppress a simulated enemy, even though they had borrowed spare magazines from radio operations, medics, and platoon leaders. Brig. Gen. Phil Kinniery, commandant for the Army's Infantry School and Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Benning, Georgia, told Task & Purpose that commanding officers ultimately determine how much ammunition their units will carry into battle, and the traditional seven-magazine load could be adjusted. Kinniery also said that the Next Generation Squad Weapon rifle's larger round will give soldiers an advantage on the battlefield. 'From having been in several firefights throughout my career and deployments in Afghanistan and in Iraq, that [6.8mm round] round stops the enemy,' Kinniery said. 'What we're actually bringing to infantry soldiers or, really, the close combat force across the Army, is something that stops the enemy at one round versus having to shoot multiple rounds at the enemy to get them to stop.'
