…customers with “the four O’s” of RobOps: observability, operation, orchestration, and optimization. InOrbit said it provides secure, real-time analytics and data collection, robot performance monitoring (RPM), and incident response. From the lab to the real world Engineers in development labs usually don't need to worry about how much data they can send from a robot to a laptop or when they can do it, noted InOrbit. Stable network or Ethernet connections, plus robots that are stationary or moving in controlled environments, can lead to assumptions about data generation and availability for analysis. However, when robots need to be tested in…

…inventory management. All of this is going to require orchestration. Klappich noted that a multi-agent orchestration platform that assigns, prioritizes, and coordinates those islands of automation is a tall order. In his facility in Gallatin, Kuntz is living Klappich’s dream. He already has automated storage shuttles from TGW, robotic putwalls from Kindred, robotic truck unloading from Boston Dynamics, and a storage and retrieval system Exotec dedicated to returns. The key to innovation success is identifying quickly whether a technology can be integrated into the flow, said Kuntz. At this point, a warehouse execution system from Vargo makes that possible in…
