Path Robotics is an AI robotics company with a difference . It is pioneering the future of smart robots that take automation and digital transformation in the manufacturing sector to the next level , providing a frictionless path to growth built upon innovation and collaboration .
“ We specifically focus on making robots learn how to do human-based tasks ,” says Andrew Lonsberry , the co-founder and CEO . “ Making robots smart enough to be able to understand how to perform their operation autonomously so that humans can focus on harder contextual problems .”
The company partners with leading manufacturers to power their digital transformation journey . As a partner of Schenck Process , Path plays a vital role in alleviating bottlenecks and underpinning its growth ambitions , providing a “ digital thread ” that runs throughout the end-to-end manufacturing process .
“ What Path does specifically is help Schenck Process to create a solution that allows them the flexibility to be able to run thousands of different parts through a robotics system completely on its own ,” Lonsberry explains .
“ It doesn ’ t matter what part the Path Robotic system is looking at , as long as it fits within our weld cell , we see it , we understand it and we weld it .”
Path collaborates closely with Schenck Process to assist its growth plans in a strategic partnership that Lonsberry foresees strengthening in the coming years .
“ We see this partnership growing over the next five to 10 years ,” he says . “ We see Schenck Process continuously growing internally and continuously taking on more . That level of dedication to growth is something that we want to mirror , and we want to match . The commitment we ’ re making to this partnership is that today is just the first phase of a journey together , Path and Schenck Process , to implement an end-to-end digital thread throughout the manufacturing process and the business . We are excited to be a part of this groundbreaking effort .”
