SVT Robotics Inc. yesterday announced the close of its $25 million Series A funding round. The Norfolk, Va.-based startup has developed its SOFTBOT platform to accelerate and simplify the integration and deployment of robots. SVT claimed that companies can use its software to integrate any enterprise system with automation for any task, without custom code, in days or weeks instead of months or years. Even with the global robotics market growing at an annual rate of 26%, automation deployments have not been fast enough for most companies to adapt to supply chain and staffing challenges they have experienced over the…

…it needed to address integration with the help of SVT Robotics. “This was a strategic initiative for our company,” said Laura Adams, vice president of technology, engineering systems, and solutions (TES) at CJ Logistics. “In this particular building, we wanted to deploy several technologies that CJ Logistics is using on a global basis. But no single provider could provide it all, so we needed a partner that had industry knowledge, had experience building integration points, and could integrate with our system.” With a heritage extending back 90 years, CJ Logistics was formed from the 2013 merger of CJ Korea Express,…

…leverage our unique manufacturing capabilities and robots,” he said. SVT Robotics and OSARO Inc. also announced last month that they had formed a partnership. SVT Robotics makes SOFTBOT, a robotics platform designed to help people install robots in their facilities. OSARO makes robotic piece-picking systems designed to for e-commerce markets. In a release announcing the program, OSARO said it and SVT have worked together to deliver better products to customers. SVT has joined OSARO’s new Partner Alliance program, which the company said it formed to “optimize every stage of a customer’s purchasing and deployment process.” Founding members of the program…

…at FedEx Express A.K. Schultz, co-founder and CEO of SVT Robotics Inc. Matt Wade, head of marketing, BlueBotics SA What was the most interesting robotics offering you saw at MODEX 2022? Gerard Andrews, NVIDIA Andrews: We have a saying that “Everything that moves will be autonomous.” So for me, it was really interesting to witness this vision taking hold with the levels of autonomy displayed in robots that do mobile manipulation. From impressive autonomous forklifts to the Boston Dynamics' Stretch, it is amazing to see that these robots are now deployed in production. It is obvious that mobile manipulation presents…

…doing this today at some of our customer facilities.” SVT Robotics SOFTBOT simplifies connections One vendor that specializes in robotics integration is SVT Robotics. The company offers software to simplify the connections between different systems and how they work together on common processes. SVT’s SOFTBOT platform contains connectors between different robotic systems and enterprise systems like a WMS, and also to other forms of automation such as high-density storage and picking systems, or conveyor systems. SOFTBOT offers both its own connectors and a drag-and-drop studio function for visually designing integrated process flows. Once designed, which can be done in minutes,…

…integration today,” said A.K. Schultz, founder and CEO of SVT Robotics. Last year, Gartner ran a survey about user wants and needs for supply chain technologies. About 96% said they currently use or plan to use robots. Similarly, 93% plan to increase the size of their robotic fleets. And 94% plan to pursue other robot use cases in their facilities. “By 2028, 50% of large enterprises will have adopted some form of intralogistics smart robots in their warehouse and manufacturing operations,” said Klappich. Of course, no one type of robot fits all applications. In fact, Klappich said there are 34…

…fast heartbeats and are the most common supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (SVT) in children without structural heart disease. Left untreated, frequent episodes may weaken the heart and lead to heart failure, said Stereotaxis. The median age of patients in the study was 14 years at the time of treatment. Patients treated using RMN had 94.4% freedom from arrhythmia recurrence through long-term follow-up, compared with only 85.5% and 59.0% in patients treated with manual RF ablation or cryoablation, respectively (p<0.01). Although cardiac ablation is a common treatment for AV(N)RT, there is risk of procedural complications, said Stereotaxis. The impact of procedural radiation on…

…“orchestrating” systems. Enabling integration was the whole premise behind SVT Robotics, which made the live integration of automation components the centerpiece of its booth and was the company I heard mentioned more often than any other. But it was also the subject of much of Softeon's conversations at its booths since MODEX 2020 and again at this year’s ProMat. With the high cost of labor and the increasing reliance on automation, getting the most out of our investments through eliminating those islands of automation is perhaps the challenge of our time. Integrating robots, software, and staffers was a popular topic…
