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…

…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,…

…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…

We're also partnering with companies such as SVT Robotics on software.” “The pandemic accelerated the shift from the older model of shoppers picking items to remote fulfillment centers and has put pressure on retail productivity,” he told Robotics 24/7. “Everyone is adapting and reacting. There have been big investments in this space, including Berkshire Grey, AutoStore, Locus Robotics, and Nimble Robotics, and we've been busy with existing projects.” RightPick 3 includes cognitive improvements “We first launched RightPick in 2017 at ProMat,” recalled Martinelli. “As we've worked with integrators on projects, we've learned that they want robotic item-handling systems…

…plant-floor processes, notes A.K. Schultz, co-founder and CEO of SVT Robotics, a startup that offers an integration platform for robotics. That head start has many industrial companies eying DCs as the next best place to find big efficiency gains with robotics. “There is just not a lot of juice left to squeeze out of manufacturing,” he says. Technology startups that focus on enterprises also tend to have better customer “stickiness” than consumer tech startups, says Schultz, which makes them attractive to investors, even if they aren’t likely to become a household name like an Uber. “It’s all these factors in…

…to A.K. Schultz and Mike Howes, the co-founders of SVT Robotics. In their view, one of the challenges the industry is just now coming to grips with is that no one system “has a comprehensive understanding of the flow to optimize the whole distribution center,” Howes said. Instead, every system maximizes for itself, which might ultimately not be the best result for overall throughput. A simple example: A WMS may optimize order fulfillment in a way that is most efficient for the DC but drives up transportation costs. Similarly, a TMS working in isolation can create an optimal transportation plan…

…into.” That problem is behind the solution developed by SVT Robotics, which A.K. Schultz, the company’s CEO, describes as an “integration-platform-as-a-service.” He likens what the company is trying to accomplish to the development of the two-pronged plug that allows you to plug any electrical device into an outlet to access the grid, and the USB that allows you to plug in computer peripherals. “We set out to create that same kind of connectivity,” Schultz explains. “Instead of enterprise systems communicating with unique or proprietary systems, you can adopt any robotics or automation technology that is integrated on the platform.
