Olis Robotics, a company that specializes in remote error recovery for industrial robots, announced a new partnership with Kawasaki Robotics Inc. to offer their customers the ability to restart production faster, reduce troubleshooting and downtime costs by up to 90%, and gain access to expert support quickly.

At Kawasaki’s booth #C5475 at MODEX 2024 in Atlanta, GA, March 11 - 14, Kawasaki and Olis Robotics will showcase their partnership by joining forces with CRG Automation, a Louisville, KY-based integration house. The partners will demonstrate a state-of-the-art robotic corner board system, integrated with a mixed palletizing and depalletizing cell, featuring a Kawasaki RS007L robot, that automates placing corner boards on pallets being wrapped, ensuring overall load stability.

The system, which handles multiple SKUs of unstructured products, is equipped with Olis Robotics remote error recovery software that lets attendees experience how the system alerts users when the robot unexpectedly stops, and when picking or placing a part fails. After a system failure, the attendees can use Olis to run a tool inspection routine and perform remote error recovery, allowing the robot to resume its cycle and get back to work.

“Our new partnership supports the industry gamut from smaller first-time end users and their integrator partners up to more complex AI-driven applications in larger plants," said Paul Marcovecchio, Director GI Business Unit, Kawasaki Robotics Inc. "All stakeholders can now easily and cost-effectively monitor, access and recover their robot cells remotely. As a result, they created a powerful tool that also addresses end-user concerns such as cyber security or the need to retrofit machines.”

The Olis remote monitoring and error recovery solution will be available for any Kawasaki robot model starting Q2 of 2024.
