Analysis:
Although many small and medium-sized companies have embraced automation, high barriers to adoption remain. Deploying robots on the manufacturing floor is often still too complex. All of this drives up costs and the minimum number of parts produced, making automation an unviable option for many. Ease-of-use has been a topic for years now in robotics, and D:PLOY is among a number of software solutions hitting the market making a difference. D:PLOY breaks down some of these barriers for its initial target applications to help customers ease labor shortages and improve productivity. D:PLOY continues the diversification of OnRobot’s product line and, therefore, increases revenue opportunities. It could also help integrators improve margins and increase customer satisfaction by completing projects more cost-effectively and in less time and robot manufacturers expand revenue opportunities through increased adoption. - Steve Crowe
