Olis Robotics and Kawasaki Robotics Inc. stated yesterday that they may collectively supply robots and controls to allow prospects to restart manufacturing quicker, scale back troubleshooting and downtime prices by as much as 90%, and acquire entry to professional help extra rapidly.
“We’re seeing a growing demand for remote robot monitoring and recovery capabilities,” acknowledged Paul Marcovecchio, director of the General Industries enterprise unit at Kawasaki Robotics, in a launch. “Adding Olis to our industrial robots is a game changer for the market.”
“Our new partnership supports the industry gamut, from smaller first-time end users and their integrator partners up to more complex AI-driven applications in larger plants,” he stated. “All stakeholders can now easily and cost-effectively monitor, access and recover their robot cells remotely.”
Marcovecchio added that Olis Robotics has taken the time to grasp the difference limitations. “As a result, they created a powerful tool that also addresses end-user concerns such as cybersecurity or the need to retrofit machines,” he stated.

Olis Robotics presents distant monitoring and management
Olis Robotics claimed that it’s a chief in distant error restoration for industrial robots. The Seattle-based firm stated that by offering the most effective remote-control consumer expertise, it may well “catalyze automation adoption.”
Founded in 2013 as a spinout from the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Lab, Olis stated it has constructed on over a decade of telerobotics analysis and growth performed with the U.S. Navy and NASA. When robots fail, the firm claimed that its flagship Olis system delivers the information wanted for distant monitoring, management, and troubleshooting.
The firm additionally stated its customers can join on to their robots by means of an on-premise machine through a safe connection, avoiding the dangers and complexities related to cloud-based programs. To guarantee bodily security, Olis is designed to at all times obey the robotic controller’s security restrictions.
Kawasaki and companions to demo palletizing at MODEX
Wixom, Mich.-based Kawasaki Robotics (USA) Inc. stated it has integrated greater than 50 years of expertise with industrial automation for a variety of functions and markets. The firm stated it offers a set of ordinary options on all of its robotic fashions.
At Booth C5475 at MODEX 2024 in Atlanta from March 11 to 14, Kawasaki and Olis Robotics plan to showcase their partnership with CRG Automation, a Louisville, Ky.-based integrator. They will reveal a “state-of-the-art” robotic nook board system, built-in with a combined palletizing and depalletizing cell.
The cell will function a Kawasaki RS007L robotic putting nook boards on pallets being wrapped to make sure general load stability. The system can deal with a number of SKUs of unstructured merchandise.
It shall be outfitted with Olis Robotics distant error-recovery software program, so attendees can see the way it alerts customers when the robotic unexpectedly stops or when it fails to choose or place an element. After such a system failure, the attendees can use Olis to run a tool-inspection routine and carry out distant error restoration, permitting the robotic to renew its cycle and get again to work.
Fredrik Ryden, CEO of Olis Robotics, famous that Kawasaki robots are constructed to final for many years, giving finish customers most management of a extremely customizable product. “Kawasaki’s commitment to a world-class buying experience and quick ROI [return on investment] in a wide range of applications is a perfect match for Olis,” he stated.
Ryden asserted that Kawasaki’s intensive integrator community is one other key issue within the new partnership, as Olis offers integrators time-saving bandwidth by means of the distant help capabilities, enabling them to develop as much as 25% quicker.
“We’re incredibly excited to start working with Kawasaki integrators to deploy and retrofit Olis units with Kawasaki robot arms,” he added. “It’s a win-win for both the integrator and their customers.”
The Olis distant monitoring and error restoration system shall be obtainable for any Kawasaki robotic mannequin beginning the second quarter of 2024.
