Holman recently announced the launch of Holman Robotics, a new division delivering a robotic management solution. The offering combines solution design, financing, and lifecycle asset management into a single model, aiming to simplify the deployment of robotics and industrial automation at scale for businesses.
“Robotic automation can transform a company’s operations, boost efficiency, and reduce expenses, but high upfront costs, technical complexities, and an overwhelming network of vendors often slow adoption. Holman is ready to change that,” said Holman Chief Executive Officer Chris Conroy. “We are building upon decades of experience managing complex assets for our customers.”
Holman Robotics bundles hardware, data integration, and management software.
This model attempts to maximize the long-term value of investment.
Features include:
Design Advocacy – Aligning robotics solutions with business priorities and, such as a network of OEMs, system integrators, and technology providers.
Streamlined Financing – Flexible funding options that consolidate all expenses
Centralized Management Platform – Attempts to provide insights on real-time monitoring, lifecycle management, and performance optimization.
“As a growing number of businesses embrace robotic assets across a variety of industrial applications – warehousing, manufacturing, sorting, security, cleaning – there is a clear need for a simplified solution to deploy and manage these units effectively,” said Holman Vice President of Robotics Joe Foster. “Our vision is to be a trusted strategic partner who provides organizations the expertise and resources they need to deploy robotic assets faster, more easily, and with confidence as they embrace the potential of industrial automation.”
