📣We are excited to launch Bot-Hive Edge; A full stack flexible automation platform for high changeover manufacturers. Eighteen months in the making, we’re proud to share the launch of our new IoT platform designed to propel contract manufacturers into successful automation adoption. Two years ago, we established that current automation systems and robotics cells were not supportive to small batch/high SKU variance manufacturers’ needs. We set out to solve this problem. Bot-Hive Edge enables automation systems and robotics cells to become highly reconfigurable and redeployable whilst delivering critical performance data, OEE reporting and production intelligence to high changeover manufacturers. KEY FEATURES - The Edge cabinet is a plug and play Edge solution designed for brownfield sites to drive controls of machines, robotics and high changeover production lines. - A no-code user interface which manages and delivers recipes to entire applications, cells and production lines allowing users to run an entire production unit on simple user inputs such as material dimensions, case sizes and palletising configurations. - A vendor agnostic robot teach pendant currently compatible with FANUC Europe YASKAWA Europe and Universal Robots Robots. - RFID tagged tooling and change parts for digitally integrated production schedule changeovers and future change requests. - Easy to setup user management and advanced permissions settings for Administrators, Line Setters, Maintenance Teams and Operators. - Fast drag and drop function sequencing for fast interchangeable recipe creation. - Applicable to diverse Line Infeeding operations, full stack Capping processes, Primary and Secondary packing, Machine Tending Assembly and End-Of-Line Palletising. - Digital status logs with remote access for troubleshooting and software updates. - OEE performance, batch monitoring and user alerts available on email and MS Teams. - Hybrid CapEx & SaaS investment model allowing customers to invest solely in capital equipment with full software licensing, machine servicing and installation fees being amortised on a monthly pay-as-you-use model, perfect for seasonal and unpredictable production schedules. *Coming soon - GenAI parametric 3D modelled parts for rapid new tooling development Get in contact on sales@bot-hive.com for more information and/or a product demonstration.

📣Something is coming… Product launch 24th September 2024. Sit tight…
