Wandelbots, the German-based no-code robotics software firm, recently opened a U.S. headquarters in Chicago, IL, to expand its global operations and accelerate human-centered robotics solutions in the manufacturing industry. Its signature software, Wandelbots Teaching, works the same with any robot, allowing users to control various models with no prior programming knowledge.
"As the industrial robotics market continues to grow, developers and end users need an easy-to-use platform for robotic automation," said a company spokesperson. "The Wandelbots' no-code solution is built to provide users of all competencies with the ability to program a robot for maximum efficiency and automation."
"Our product is tailor-made for the U.S. market, which is ideal as a prerequisite for successful expansion," said Christian Piechnick, Wandelbots founder and CEO. "The labor shortage in the U.S. is severe right now and is getting worse. Wandelbots can help support U.S. companies on their way towards automation and digitization of manufacturing processes."
The U.S. division will be led by Sue Nicole Susenburger, who joined Wandelbots after nearly eight years at Bosch, most recently as global innovation strategy manager.
"Wandelbots is driven by the mission to democratize robotics," Susenburger said. "We are providing solutions to family-owned manufacturers that are struggling with labor shortage and need help implementing automation."
The German scale-up has been growing its portfolio of partnerships, including Ohio-based robot manufacturer Yaskawa America, Inc., Motoman Robotics Div., one of the first original equipment manufacturers to add Wandelbots as a technology partner.
"The Wandelbots Teaching technology adds great value and simplicity to our robots for our customers, especially with our ArcWorld cells," said Josh Leath, Senior Product Manager for Yaskawa Motoman. "The easy-to-use software paired with the intuitive TracePen input device simplifies the user experience for any of our most popular industrial robots. It relieves the need for extensive robotics programming knowledge and opens new robotics automation opportunities for customers of all sizes."
