Soft Robotics today launched the release of mGrip, the company's first on-demand, modular automation system. mGrip will enable the prompt proliferation of soft robotics, and allow users everywhere to influence the company's patented, award-winning technology to build, validate and install production-ready systems in minutes.
Each kit goes equipped with the components necessary to build tools with limitless designs and spacing solutions, solving even the most impossible picking challenges. Since its inception, Soft Robotics' technology has altered manufacturing for industries that have been omitted from utilizing automation due to the limitations of conventional robotic technologies. The company's pioneering gripping system has been checked in the most demanding production environments with customers around the world.
Soft Robotics designs and builds soft robotic automation systems that can grasp and change items with human hand-like dexterity. Utilizing patented material science, Soft Robotics unlocks automation for great important markets and labor-starved businesses such as food and beverage, expert manufacturing, and e-commerce. The company's solid, factory-validated gripping platform is in production with international customers that include one of the world's largest pizza retailers, a Fortune 500 consumer products company, and Just Born Quality Confections (maker of PEEPS®).
'Our customers have requested for the ability to easily build and deploy our disruptive technology, and we have brought with mGrip,' said Carl Vause, Soft Robotics' CEO. 'As consumers position increasing value on choice, control and convenience, manufacturers are looking for solutions that can improve shorter lead times, accelerate new production introductions and simplify the manufacturing of customized products. With just one mGrip kit, you can automate an endless set of applications.'
