Excerpt:
As mobile robots and other hardware gradually commoditize, the value of automation lies in analyzing and acting upon business data. Formant has created a platform that is ready to handle increasingly complex tasks and robot configurations while focusing on delivering actionable information to end users.
Even as systems gain more autonomy, humans will still need to be “in the loop” for higher-level decisions, particularly those affecting mission-critical enterprise functions.
With automated analytics and annotated data, Formant’s platform allows humans to work with robots in real time while also having instant access to relevant historical data.

The following information on robotics commercialization is an excerpt from our guide, The Enterprise Guide to Building a Robotics Roadmap. Setting milestones, opening communication, and tracking data all feed into one main goal: commercialization. It’s a long journey from experimentation to enterprise-level implementation, and when you get to the final stages, proposing commercialization in a […]
Monitoring robot fleet health has resembled human health for much of history–ignored until there is enough of an impact that we finally seek help. Only then will a professional assess the available information to make a diagnosis. Fortunately for people and robots, that is changing. Products like Fitbits or Apple watches now proactively gather health […]

However, simply adopting robots doesn’t instantly increase efficiency. Technical issues, human error, and unforeseen circumstances can all affect a robot’s performance and, ultimately, the bottom line. […]
