Case Study: a robotics engineering services company speeds UVC disinfection robot launch with Kopius scheduling software

Robotics Engineering Services Company launches UVC disinfection robot ahead of schedule with Kopius

The Robotics Engineering Services Company, a firm specializing in advanced technologies, needed a way to schedule the disinfection cycles for its new UV-light-equipped mobile robot. The challenge, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, was the lack of a mechanism for customers to easily program recurring sanitizing activities for the robot. Kopius was engaged to develop this critical scheduling software to ensure a rapid time-to-market.

Kopius developed a scheduling application that ran in a docker container on the robot's onboard PC. The solution allowed users to connect to the robot, create schedules with start times and recurrence, and monitor the robot's status. This enabled the client to complete and launch the UVC disinfection robot ahead of schedule, creating a new revenue stream and meeting a vital health and safety need during the pandemic.
