…can be difficult for busy developers and facilities operators. InOrbit Inc. today launched a Free Edition of its cloud-based robot operations, or RobOps, software. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said it will help businesses scale their fleets and free them to focus on their unique differentiators. “When we've talked to customers, many think they're going to develop RobOps software in-house, but many times, they don't know how much work that is,” said Florian Pestoni, co-founder and CEO of InOrbit. “But if they're freed from spending the next six months to three years on development, they can focus on building or…

…third-party system from vendors such as Meili Robots, Formant, InOrbit, or Rocos—not to mention some AMR vendors themselves—robotics users could deploy them within hours or days. 2. Implementation costs Along with implementation speed comes the cost difference between buying and building an FMS. These costs very much depend on your unique requirements and available resources. Take, for example, the size of your mobile robot fleet or whether or not you have in-house experts. Considering that you need at least six developers to build and maintain an FMS, the average costs of buying an existing system will account for no more…

…who you ask, you'll get different answers. Formant and InOrbit will say there should be a centralized company or software. We're big enough to do this sort of thing and manage our own fleet. The data really belongs to the customer. We don't share their data with anybody else. Brain is super-strict about the idea of sharing data to manage fleets. It's not good to farm data and is a tough sales proposition. We tailor the solution to what works best with their stores—how user experience, training, and intervention are different online versus with a laptop. We're making it part…

…is an increasing concern for AMR providers and users. InOrbit Inc. today announced that its InOrbit Platform for cloud-based robot operations is fully compatible with robots that implement the new MassRobotics AMR Interoperability Standard. The standard enables different robots to share information about their speed, location, direction, status, tasking/availability, and other performance characteristics. “At InOrbit, our mission is to maximize the potential of every robot through RobOps best practices and technology,” stated Florian Pestoni, co-founder and CEO. “Third-party logistics, parcel delivery, and warehouse operators need to orchestrate robots performing different tasks, and interoperability across robot vendors is one piece of…

InOrbit Inc., which provides cloud-based software to help operations teams orchestrate service robots, today announced the Time Capsule feature, which gives engineering and operations staffers greater insights into their robot fleets. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said the latest upgrade to the software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform captures critical data needed to understand robot autonomy exceptions, giving users the ability to “turn back time” to understand where the failures occurred and enabling them to improve productivity. InOrbit said that robots, humans, and AI working together can solve the biggest problems. No robot is perfect, noted the company. However, it is often very…

…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…

…how modern robots can help reduce carbon footprints for environmental sustainability. Companies such as Meili Robotics, Freedom Robotics, and inOrbit are working to tackle the interoperability challenge, as are organizations such as the Robot Operations Group and working groups at the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute, and MassRobotics. Meili Robots said it is developing the next generation of mobile robot fleet management, called Meili FMS. It is capable of handling different kinds of AMRs and AGVs, claimed the Copenhagen-based company. The product can help control traffic, empower interoperability, and facilitate allocation of automated…
