Value proposition

To simplify robot operations (RobOps) at scale through a single, cloud-based, robot-agnostic platform, enabling efficient orchestration of heterogeneous fleets and seamless collaboration between humans, robots, and AI.

Products and solutions

InOrbit Platform: A secure, scalable, cloud-based robot management and analytics solution., Space Intelligence: A feature that provides a central nervous system for optimizing robot operations in complex environments like warehouses and manufacturing facilities., RobOps Tools: A suite of tools for real-time monitoring, performance analytics, data collection, and remote intervention.

Unique value

InOrbit's primary uniqueness lies in its focus on 'RobOps' (DevOps for robotics), providing a holistic framework for managing the entire lifecycle of robot fleets. Its platform is robot-agnostic, allowing for the orchestration of heterogeneous fleets from various manufacturers.

Target customer

Robotics companies, enterprises, and system integrators looking to develop, deploy, and orchestrate autonomous robot fleets at scale.

Industries served
