Eliminating Industrial Robot Brand Lock-in

The robot market is diverse. However, many manufacturers tend to use a few or one robot brand in their facilities. The high cost of training staff on multiple robot brands is outweighing the desire to purchase the superior robot. We believe that robot programming should be brand agnostic, assist with programming downtime, and simple to use no matter what robot brand you have in your facilities.
