Bot-Hive is a robotics & automation startup based in Bristol. Today, industrial automation is both expensive and complex. We believe the challenge of interfacing multiple devices together under non-standardised technology parameters, is a large cause of this problem. Today, manufacturers are required to build highly specified and technically demanding systems when looking to take advantage of robotics and automation. Bot-Hive is changing the game by building a new architecture, one which enables devices to be truly ubiquitous.
Our solution evolves around a centralised and standardised interfacing protocol, enabling devices to be freely mixed and matched with one another. Our solution is radically transforming the way automation systems are designed and deployed making the process of connecting devices such as robotics, tooling, vision, conveyors, and other field-level machinery, together. Our growing library of over 100+ pre-configured devices combined with an easy-to-use user interface enables our customers to deploy automation systems more cheaply and efficiently than has previously ever been done. With fast tool changes, a Bot-Hive automation system can now become multi-applicational in ways previous automation systems have not, transforming the overall business case in favor of flexible automation.
