Robco: Setting up industrial robots as easily as a Wi-Fi router<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Robco enables small and medium-sized manufacturing companies to easily operate automated robots. The robots are configured and operated for their specific application using a proprietary cloud software platform. The use of automated robots is intended to address the skills shortage in medium-sized companies. startup scene<\/a> explains the investor Frank Thelen<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnyone who wants to operate robotics systems usually has to build them themselves or with partner companies, which is time-consuming and expensive.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to new investor Sequoia, setting up a Robco system should take only a day or two instead of months and be significantly less expensive than comparable options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
