Oxipital AI (Formerly known as Soft Robotics) offers AI- vision technologies for robotic process automation and product inspection in critical industries such as food processing, agriculture, and consumer goods production.In August 2024, the company <a href="https://sp-edge.com/companies/243103">announced the sale of its gripper business assets</a> to the Schmalz Group and rebranded itself as Oxipital AI, shifting the company's focus towards the development and commercialization of its visual AI solutions.Key customers and partnershipsThe company launched a Preferred System Integrator Program in 2021 with several partners including Quest Industrial, Assatec Robotics, Boston Conveyor &amp; Automation Corporation, JMP Solutions, Applied Manufacturing Technologies, AMP Automation, SELO , and PATTYN France.

Oxipital AI specializes in visual AI solutions that enhance efficiency and sustainability in manufacturing. The platform addresses operational challenges by enabling real-time insights, improving product quality, and increasing throughput. By simplifying implementation, Oxipital AI empowers manufacturers to leverage their data effectively and optimize production workflows. Oxpital AI was previously known as Soft Robotics.

Preferred Networks (PFN) was established in March 2014 in Tokyo with the goal to develop practical, real-world applications of deep learning, robotics and other latest technologies. PFN is currently focused on three priority areas – transportation systems, manufacturing and bio-healthcare – and also exploring the use of deep learning in personal robots, plant optimization, materials discovery, sports analytics and entertainment. PFN has a U.S. subsidiary in Burlingame, California.

FANUC's businesses were founded in 1956 when it started to develop numerical controls (NCs) and servo systems. Since its founding, FANUC has always emphasized research and development in its management. FANUC is a group of companies, principally FANUC Corporation of Japan, Fanuc America Corporation of Rochester Hills, Michigan, USA, and FANUC Robotics Europe SA of Luxembourg, that provide automation products and services such as robotics and computer numerical control systems.

PROMINENT_CATEGORY

Fanuc America and Osaro have formed a partnership to enhance robotic warehouse automation solutions for the ecommerce fulfillment and warehousing industries. The collaboration will see Fanuc's pick-and-place robots integrate with Osaro's SightWorks vision software, allowing robots to perform pick-and-place tasks in ecommerce fulfillment and adapt to new objects through machine learning. An advanced piece-picking demonstration robot will be installed at Fanuc's Innovation Center in Michigan, and Fanuc's authorized system integrators have joined Osaro's partner program to offer comprehensive robotic solutions for fulfillment operations. The ultimate goal is to provide advanced robotic automation solutions for ecommerce fulfillment centers, offering increased efficiency, reduced labor reliance, faster order fulfillment, improved accuracy, enhanced ROI, scalability, and space optimization.
