…Florian Pestoni, co-founder and CEO of Mountain View, Calif.-based InOrbit Inc. “We help maximize the value of every robot, both working with the robot developers to help them improve the robot and focus on their differentiation, as well as with the end users who are trying to improve their processes, sometimes using different types of robots, sometimes from different vendors,” he said. Whereas most AMR vendors have some type of fleet management software, most of those systems are “pretty basic,” according to Pestoni. “What we're starting to see is the need for a robot-agnostic way of managing this complexity—especially when…

…things out,” said Jason Walker, CEO of Waypoint Robotics. “InOrbit even has ROS code with the standard baked in. We wanted to bring to robotics development what agile [methodology] does—rapid iterations versus waiting a year for perfection in the waterfall approach.” InOrbit recently joined MassRobotics' standard effort. Its CEO, Florian Pestoni, is also co-founder of the Robot Operations Group (ROG), an industry community dedicated to advancing robot operations, or RobOps, best practices. ROG had its latest meeting at the A3 AMR & Logistics Conference. AMR & Logistics Conference panel on interoperability, from left: Robert Huschka, A3; Aaron Prather, FedEx; Florian…

Florian Pestoni, CEO of InOrbit Inc., said he has noticed a change in the past year. Large users of autonomous mobile robots, or AMRs, are increasingly mandating that their systems must be interoperable with other robots. Warehouses often have challenges integrating robots into their warehouse management systems (WMS), and it doesn't help that each robot vendor has its own software package. The dream of interoperability is that it will streamline the setup and monitoring process for customers. “I think all of a sudden, everyone is highly incentivized to figure out how to make their robot play nice with other systems,”…

…said Florian Pestoni, co-founder of ROG and CEO of InOrbit. “The problems become more challenging and interesting, and merit their own body of knowledge and community.” Why RobOps discussions are needed “Last week, I conducted a webinar with a company developing a food-delivery robot,” Pestoni told Robotics 24/7. “We touched on the need for interoperability and the higher-level need for orchestration of autonomous and semi-autonomous systems on streets.” “It was also clear from FedEx's comments at past A3 [Association for Advancing Automation] events that interoperability is absolutely becoming a requirement in the warehouse,” he said. “From different standards efforts to…

…to logistics and manufacturing,” said Florian Pestoni, CEO of InOrbit Inc., which provides a cloud-based robot operations platform. “They're all feeling the need to keep up with demand.” “Sometimes, there's something even more fundamental than ROI, but of course you want that investment to have a positive return,” he added. “What we've seen is, after the initial deployment, you still have a lot of work to do. You still have to fine-tune the operation; you have to refine it over time.” Set benchmarks for robot fleets A mobile robot user needs to establish capacity, productivity and other benchmarks before a…

…noted Florian Pestoni, CEO of robot operations service provider InOrbit. “It's a sign of where the industry is,” he said. “Few companies are thinking in terms of orchestration. It's still about building a robot that does something, not about running thousands of robots at once.” “There are tremendous opportunities for improvement by combining artificial intelligence and the cloud with robots,” Pestoni said. “At the end of the day, customers want two things: the ability to get all the data and make sense of it, and the ability to make continuous improvements, such as optimizing when a robot stops picking and…

Each of the companies nominated has raised less than $5 million since they were founded. Although there was only one winner, each of the finalists was given exhibit space on the Automate show floor. As part of the contest, each of the companies had to pitch their technologies to a panel of judges at the show. The competition was sponsored by Cowen Inc., an independent investment bank. The multinational company is based in New York. Covision Quality…

…the same connector, rather than starting from scratch. Startup InOrbit was at the show exhibiting its cloud robot management platform, and also as one of the finalists for Automate’s Cowen Startup Challenge. Florian Pestoni, co-founder and CEO of InOrbit, explained that the company's software can help robot vendors and integrators improve the performance of what they offer to end users. New “orchestration” features in the platform, along with a partner certification program, allow organizations to use the software to avoid conflicts between different types of AMRs without competing with the fleet software from each AMR vendor. For example, InOrbit’s solution…
