igus enhances low-cost automation platform with AI chatbot

igus has improved its RBTX.co.uk platform with an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. This interactive consultant provides a quick and easy way for companies with limited experience and technical knowledge of robotics to assemble low-cost automation solutions that will boost their competitiveness.

Many companies know that automation solutions offers enormous potential to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world of work, but many don’t know how to implement them. RBTX.co.uk, a low-cost automation platform, has the answer. There are over 500 robot solutions on the online marketplace, 95% of which cost less than £12,000. Even companies with no prior knowledge of robotics can put together cost-effective, low-cost automation solutions using the plug-and-program principle.

“With RBTX, we want to remove the barriers that prevent companies entering automation,” says Adam Sanjurgo, Low-Cost Automation Product Manager at igus in Northampton. “It’s crucial to guarantee the compatibility of all components on the platform, making incorrect purchases almost impossible. The introduction of our new AI consultant is another step in the right direction, helping users to simplify their search for components from an ever-expanding range.”
