How InOrbit solves your Supply Chain Automation Challenges

Effective robot operations are the mission-critical element your team needs to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow

supply-chain-lp FINAL

Supply chains today are facing daunting challenges, from labor shortages to rising costs due to climate change and the lingering effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. This comes at a bad time, with consumer demand shifting, and high expectations for both turnaround time and customer experience.

That’s why leaders throughout the supply chain are making big bets on automation. Rather than replacing human workers, the prevailing approach is augmenting them with smart automation that dramatically improves labor productivity.

But as companies deploy more robots for tasks such as material handling, inventory management, cleaning and security, they will face a rapidly compounding problem: each robot vendor has their own mechanisms, software and algorithms, and they don’t play well with each other. This introduces its own inefficiencies, from needing multiple screens to keep track of all the robots in a facility, to traffic jams when multiple uncoordinated robots are deployed at the same site.

InOrbit is the efficient and effective solution to the major hurdles leaders face as they work to integrate automation into the supply chain, both today and tomorrow. We are the leading cloud-based, secure robot data platform and we know that effective robot operations or RobOps today requires a series of considerations: 

ObservabilityObservability

End-to-end visibility of your robots.

 

OperationOperation

Manage your robot fleet and take action when needed.

 

Orquestration-1Orchestration

Coordinate at scale. Scheduling and dispatching robots, proactively avoiding conflicts.

 

OptimizationOptimization

Analyze failures, gain insight, and configure your end-to-end process.

Our tools provide the orchestration layer that can connect to any robot and provide for seamless, integrated and coordinated operations – and we can do it all from one screen.

InOrbit Free Edition headerAs the leading provider of RobOps solutions for the robotics industry, InOrbit offers several tools to let developers quickly accelerate their robot fleets, and give operators more control. The InOrbit Free Edition gives developers access to the back-end infrastructure and InOrbit Control platform to get started with robot deployments immediately. When we say free, we mean free access, no strings attached.

We offer accessible solutions for engineers looking to tackle specific issues. The InOrbit Developer Portal adds an additional toolbox of APIs, SDKs and no-code embeds, along with clear documentation that explains how the different components of the InOrbit platform work together, or separately, and integrate into existing systems.

And the InOrbit Ecosystem connects a united group of companies and experts from across industries with complementary offerings and a common vision to promote automation. Together we can offer the best solution to address various specialized needs across different verticals.

As the integration of automation into the supply chain accelerates however the biggest challenge of tomorrow will be managing multi-robot fleets at scale. A single vendor solution will simply not meet the varied, and complex needs demanded. Our commitment to strong RobOps also means supporting emerging standards around interoperability. InOrbit has always built hardware-agnostic software, so managing heterogeneous robotic fleets from different manufacturers is fundamental to our platform. We are accessible, supporting the MassRobotics AMR Interoperability standard and VDA-5050.   

InOrbit is driving best practices in the field of RobOps.  We empower roboticists, software engineers, and operators to quickly adopt a platform that can handle the shared practices and tools needed for a successful robotics deployment. Our goal is to maximize the potential of every robot and our software has already powered over 5 million hours of active operations in mission-critical production environments. InOrbit is building reliable and insightful tools to meaningfully impact robotic fleets and solve your most pressing supply chain automation challenges.

Make the critical investment your robots need today.
