Jacobi Robotics and Formic Forge Strategic Alliance to Revolutionize Robotic Automation in Manufacturing
Berkeley, Calif. – [Date] – Jacobi Robotics, a pioneering AI-driven motion planning company, and Formic, a leading robotics-as-a-service provider, have unveiled a strategic partnership to bring high-performance AI-powered robotics to manufacturers. This alliance aims to transform the robotics landscape by significantly reducing deployment times, enhancing productivity, and increasing the accessibility and reliability of advanced robotic solutions.
Addressing the Urgent Need for Automation in Manufacturing
The manufacturing sector faces a growing demand for automation to address challenges such as labor shortages, rising costs, and the need for increased efficiency. Robotic palletizers, which stack cases onto pallets for storage or shipment, have emerged as a key solution to these challenges. However, traditional robotic systems often require weeks or months to deploy, hindering their widespread adoption.
Jacobi’s AI-Powered Motion Planning Technology: A Game-Changer
Jacobi Robotics brings to the partnership its revolutionary AI-powered motion planning technology, which streamlines the palletizing programming process and enables rapid deployment of robotic systems. This technology leverages AI algorithms to automate the generation of robot motion plans, eliminating the need for manual programming and significantly reducing deployment times to less than one day.
Formic’s Robotics-as-a-Service Model: Making Robotics Accessible
Formic’s Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model provides manufacturers with an innovative approach to robotics adoption. By offering robotic automation for a low hourly rate, Formic eliminates the need for large capital investments and provides 24/7 monitoring, 100% maintenance coverage, and guaranteed performance. This model makes robotics accessible to a broader spectrum of manufacturers, fostering innovation and driving growth in the US industrial economy.
The Partnership’s Impact on Manufacturing
The Jacobi-Formic partnership has already demonstrated significant benefits for manufacturers. Initial deployments with U.S. manufacturers have shown a 20% increase in robot productivity, improved reliability, and a strategic roadmap is in place to expand the application of this technology to additional use cases in the near future.
