Wandelbots has launched NOVA, an agnostic operating system (OS) designed to make industrial automation accessible and to reduce costs.
NOVA supports modern development tools like Python and JavaScript, with a Plan, Build, and Operate approach that simplifies the entire automation lifecycle with AI technologies at its core.
As an open ecosystem, NOVA will work across hardware components from various manufacturers, making them accessible within one unified operating system.
NOVA's advanced and vendor-independent programming language comes at a crucial time as outdated programming languages and a lack of skilled labour have prevented robotics from reaching its full potential, especially in smaller companies.
NOVA opens up new opportunities for companies to leverage automation and for software developers to unleash their creativity in a new industry
NOVA was developed with four key objectives: to support revenue growth, optimize operations, reduce costs and risks, and improve usability.
Intuitive frontend applications and a unified user interface make it easier than ever for employees to interact with robots through NOVA without requiring technical knowledge.
Realistic simulation with digital twins offers investment protection, allowing developers and operators to create physically accurate simulations of robots, factories, and movable workpieces before real-world deployment.
NOVA marks a turning point in the world of industrial automation and promises to democratise robotics and create new ways for software developers to commercialise.
NOVA is available to users in its open beta phase, with those interested being able to register on the Wandelbots website.
