More about Symbio

Symbios focus is on providing generalized solutions that enable companies to adopt AI as a core competency, as opposed to the traditional automation approach, which is to provide a custom solution to a specific problem. This means that AI solutions will look very different because its not just about creating the automation, its about creating and providing the tools that empower teams to design their own solutions through the use of AI, and easily adapt to the task at hand.

SymbioDCS, the companys robot agnostic platform runs on edge computing infrastructure through industrial networks to inform and instruct current factory systems to make final assembly tasks available that were never automated before. This allows, for the first time, the development of new sets of applications and programs that can inform and instruct current factory systems to perform more complex and dexterous tasks, in addition to improving automation that already exists like door, wheel and windshield assembly, fastening, welding and painting.

Symbio currently is working with top brands including Ford Motor Company, Nissan Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Corporation in addition to other major companies and outside of the automotive sector.
