Shaped by years of feedback from manufacturers ranging from Fortune 500 to small machine shops, Forge/OS 5 empowers companies to manage their own automation without needing deep expertise in robot programming. It also vastly reduces the complexity for those with multiple brands of robots and peripherals on their production floor, by abstracting away brand-specific robot programming languages, and making grippers and other peripheral hardware straightforward to integrate. Any robot powered by Forge/OS 5 can be easily programmed by operators by using Task Canvas, READY s no-code programming app. For robotics to reach the scale we need as a society, we must make it easier for end users and we must make it easier for developers, says Benjamin Gibbs, CEO and co-founder of READY Robotics. As we ve seen before with Windows and Android, software platforms can enable massive growth within an industry.
