Problem
Integrating robots into manufacturing processes can be complex and costly, requiring specialized programming skills and often involving vendor lock-in. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) struggle to automate their processes due to labor shortages and the difficulty of finding cost-effective, flexible robotic solutions.
Solution
YK Robotics offers a low-code robotic platform designed to simplify the creation and deployment of advanced robotic applications. The platform provides a comprehensive and integrated suite for managing robotic cells, featuring a simple, universal, object-oriented programming language compatible with major robotic brands and machinery. It enables rapid generation of robotic cell motion, optimizing robot trajectories and control movements. The platform also facilitates fast and precise deployment from virtual simulation to reality, with automatic motion adjustment to hardware and layout changes, eliminating the need to modify code.
Target Audience
YK Robotics targets system integrators seeking to reduce costs and increase ROI, as well as manufacturing companies, particularly SMEs, looking for profitable ways to automate processes and overcome labor shortages.
