Tune in to a free webinar on Wednesday January 8 at noon to learn about how Norfolk-based SVT Robotics is revolutionizing industrial robotics and automation with its innovative software platform that simplifies and accelerates the deployment of robotic and autonomous systems in warehousing, manufacturing, automotive, healthcare, and even defense.
The company's SOFTBOT® Platform allows companies to seamlessly integrate and optimize technologies from disparate manufacturers, including software, robotics, automation, IoT sensors, and even AI.
Instead of requiring costly custom coding to integrate, the SVT platform works with existing application programming interfaces functionalities out of the box. This means rapid integration with any technology, as well as real-time system visibility and monitoring, enabling companies to respond quickly to shifting market demands and scale their automation strategies efficiently.
Founded in 2018, SVT Robotics set out to address the critical challenge of technology interoperability, which has long hindered industries relying on disparate tech from multiple manufacturers.
