Roboteon was featured  on the Robotics Business News web site this week on our use of simulation in our new Robotics Investment Analysis free service.’

Here is the start of the interview:

In this interview with Robotics Business News, Dan Gilmore, Chief Marketing Officer at Roboteon, explains how simulation-driven analytics is reshaping the way companies evaluate robotics investments. He discusses the development of Roboteon’s Robotics Investment Impact Analysis, the role of orchestration software in achieving automation ROI, and why data-driven simulation is becoming essential as businesses seek clearer returns and faster time-to-value from warehouse robotics deployments.

We developed the simulation-based tool for our own purposes but then started showing it to prospects, who universally said “give me some of that,” so we launched the analysis sensing the opportunity.

Specifically, we built the simulation tool to address two challenges

We saw a need for a rigorous, data-driven simulation that uses a customer's actual warehouse layout and order profiles, beyond back-of-the envelope vendor calculators.

We also see the need to answer a recurring question from customers: “How many robots do I need?” "How many people do I still need?”, “What is the inflection point?

[RBN]  Many companies remain cautious about adopting mobile robots due to unclear returns. How does your analysis help organizations move from curiosity about automation to confident investment decisions?

Our simulation tool allows companies to get their many questions answered, from basic questions such as how many robots and humans will we need to building the business case , using a  robot-independent tool. Roboteon is a software-first orchestration platform and we are uniquely positioned to provide a vendor-neutral analysis. Customers feel a lot more confident about moving forward after leveraging the process and tool.
