…services. ULC said its systems, offered through a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model enable pipeline inspection and repair with less disruption to the public. They can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimize costs, according to the company, which is part of SPX Technologies. CISBOT reduces disruptions Normally, gas main service requires excavation of a road or street to find and repair leaks. This can disrupt traffic, and draining pipes is time-consuming and dangerous. CISBOT, or the “Cast Iron Joint Sealing Robot,” goes into live gas pipes to repair or upgrade leaking and aged mechanically bolted or lead jute joints. The robot…

…Drug Administration (FDA) for approval. Robotics as a service (RaaS) is a business model similar to software as a service (SaaS) helping to manage the high cost of adopting systems for robot-assisted surgery. Galen Robotics offers “digital surgery as a service.” With this model, hospitals and healthcare centers do not have the large upfront expenditure to acquire a high-end robot. This model enables them to pay on the basis of usage. To ensure seamless collaboration with surgeons and efficient usage of robots, Galen Robotics also plans to use its funding to develop surgeon training modules and expand its clinical sales…

…Intelligent Machines. A favorite topic of his is robots-as-a-service (RaaS). Instead of purchasing a robotic palletizer outright and upfront, Casse said, users have the option to pay a monthly fee for a set of services including designated throughput levels. “The idea is to de-risk the customer’s investment in automation. Operations are monitored remotely while uptime and performance are guaranteed. If a palletizer is down for 60 minutes, for instance, RIOS pays the end user for the loss of palletizing services,” Casse said. That should get your attention. Casse described how much more customized the company’s Vulcan end-of-line palletizing solution can…
