Case Study: Yard Robotics accelerates time to market with Foxglove

How Yard Robotics accelerated their time to market by 6 months with Foxglove

Yard Robotics, a startup providing automated lawn care services using robots, faced challenges in accelerating their autonomy software development and debugging. Their engineers needed a more efficient way to visually understand and triage data from their fleet than relying on tedious manual testing and the clunky native tools that came with their ROS framework. They adopted the Foxglove observability platform to address these issues.

By integrating Foxglove's visualization tools, including 3D scene panels and Plot panels, Yard's team could quickly debug issues and monitor robots in real-time. This streamlined their workflows, drastically reducing incident triage time by 70% and cutting new customer onboarding time from days to hours. Most significantly, Foxglove helped Yard Robotics accelerate their overall time to market by six months, enabling them to scale their operations with a small engineering team.
