Problem
Manufacturers often operate multiple standalone workcells that lack standardized communication, requiring custom integration to coordinate tasks and share data. This fragmentation hampers scaling of automation and reduces overall production throughput.
Solution
Sancho offers a “physical API” that abstracts the interfaces of individual manufacturing workcells, allowing them to be linked into cohesive production lines without bespoke engineering. By exposing a common set of commands and data streams, the platform enables real-time coordination, status monitoring, and data exchange across heterogeneous equipment. The API can be integrated with existing control systems, MES, or orchestration software, turning disparate machines into a unified workflow. This approach reduces integration effort, accelerates deployment of automated lines, and improves line efficiency and scalability.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers and system integrators that operate modular workcells and seek to build flexible, automated production lines.
Features
- Standardized API layer that normalizes control and data interfaces for diverse workcell hardware
- Real-time bidirectional communication enabling synchronized task execution and status updates
- Plug‑and‑play connectivity that eliminates the need for custom point‑to‑point integration code
- Compatibility with common manufacturing execution systems (MES) and orchestration platforms
- Scalable architecture supporting addition of new workcells without reengineering existing flows
