Case Study: Square Robot cuts debugging time in half with Foxglove

How Square Robot became an industry leader using Foxglove

Square Robot, a robotics technology company specializing in submersible tank inspections, faced significant challenges in debugging and collaboration. Their teams relied on a fragmented set of open-source ROS tools that were inaccessible to non-developers and required field engineers to use inefficient dual-boot laptop setups, leading to lengthy debugging times and workflow bottlenecks.

By implementing Foxglove, Square Robot streamlined its entire process with a unified, cloud-based platform. The solution enabled real-time collaboration across all departments, eliminated the need for specialized environments, and allowed field teams to use standard Windows laptops. As a result, Foxglove cut debugging time in half, saved hundreds of development hours, slashed time to market for new features, and significantly reduced IT overhead.
