…They also need to search through BI dashboards or excel/Google sheets so they can further dive into details. Some of the most obvious personas that need access to data are data scientists, developers, and roboticists. These roles typically want data within their tool in their preferred format, such as Jupyter Notebooks or logz.io, to gain a better understanding of the data, debug an issue, or optimize their autonomy. Serving as the first line of defense, tech support also needs data to provide efficient responses to customers and improve the uptime of the robot. Formant provides a default visual for these…

…to any tool they utilize, including Tableau, Jupyter Notebooks, Google Data Studio, Snowflake, and Grafana, to name a few. Customizability No enterprise is alike and each company will have unique needs that won’t entirely be suited by every software, out of the box. For example, a company using robots for inspection will obviously have different needs than one focused primarily on warehouse automation. Even within the inspection use case, specific data and operational requirements can vary depending on the asset a company is inspecting. With software being such a critical component for robotics companies, enterprise teams need a better solution…
