Problem
Solar module installation is labor‑intensive, often slowed by heavy lifting, limited shift lengths, and difficult terrain, leading to project delays and unpredictable revenue for solar developers.
Solution
Maximo Installation Service combines the Maximo AI‑enabled solar robot with the Max IQ planning platform to automate the mechanical placement and fastening of solar panels. The robot performs heavy‑lifting tasks, allowing crews to extend work shifts and operate safely in harsh or uneven environments. By coordinating robot actions with AI‑driven scheduling, the service doubles installation speed compared with conventional manual methods, enabling more projects to be completed on schedule and improving revenue predictability.
Target Audience
Primary customers are solar EPC contractors and large‑scale solar developers who need faster, safer installation of photovoltaic modules across diverse sites.
