Forge/OS reduces programming time, deployment time, and enables anyone to control robots.

Description:
In May 2021, Ready Robotics released Forge/OS 5, a universal operating system compatible with hundreds of robots frRBRlogoom leading brands ABB, Epson, Fanuc, Kawasaki, Staubli, Universal Robots, Yaskawa and more. Forge/OS 5 unites all the hardware in a workcell under a single programming platform, making automation accessible to any operator no matter their experience.

To reduce programming complexity for customers who use multiple brands of robots and peripherals, Forge/OS 5 abstracts brand-specific robot programming languages into a no-code programming app. The system uses blocks of code organized into flow charts depending on the application at hand.

Analysis:
A 2019 study by McKinsey found 41% of organizations trying to scale with robotics cited a lack of a common programming interface as a major challenge to success. Forge/OS 5 is a step towards resolving that problem as it eliminates fragmentation. Instead of staffing up with engineers to program in OEM-specific programming languages, organizations can leverage operators to program and maintain robots across brands using Forge/OS.

Forge/OS’ visual programming platform reduces programming time, deployment time, and enables anyone to control robots. It empowers people and reduces the friction of using robots, making them more accessible to more companies to accelerate adoption. - Steve Crowe
