As industrial manufacturing takes on the trend of high mix/low volumes, the need for innovative solutions is more pressing than ever. Manufacturing has moved from mass production to small batch production, requiring far greater flexibility than traditional manufacturing methods can offer. Enter OpiFlex, a Swedish startup based in Västerås, which has developed an award-winning and market-leading flexible mobile robot solution to meet this exact demand.
This startup is pioneering the third robot revolution – “Flexible Robots.” Their solution isn’t limited to just solving the high mix/low volume manufacturing needs. It also addresses the need for flexible assembly lines, making it an attractive proposition for both small-medium enterprises (SMEs) and large global conglomerates.
The differential factor for OpiFlex lies in its innovative solutions and their patented technology. Their safety solution for large robots operating at high speed complies with all ISO requirements and EU regulations, providing a safe environment for workers. The startups’ easy robot programming solution is said to be 20 times faster than traditional programming methods, requiring no prior experience. This satiates the industry’s need for quick, adaptable, and easy solutions.
In addition, OpiFlex’s mobile robot solution possesses patented docking for stability and precision, making it a reliable choice for flexible production lines. The company’s innovation isn’t limited to its advanced technology but also extends to its business approach. Founded by serial entrepreneur Johan Frisk, OpiFlex has been bootstrap-funded and profitable from day one, due to their solutions’ high optimization.
With automation at the forefront of the future of the industrial sector, OpiFlex is positioned at the forefront of this tech wave. Their commitment to providing flexible, innovative solutions aligns with the evolving needs of the manufacturing industry, potentially establishing them as a key player in industrial automation and robotics.
A glance at their acknowledgments and awards – including the EU Commission’s Innovation Award 2015 and becoming a finalist in the IERA Awards 2016 – signals the high potential OpiFlex carries. In fact, it was included in Sweden’s prestigious ’33 list’ in 2018 among young and promising companies such as Spotify, Mojang, Truecaller, Klarna, and iZettle. As high mix/low volumes become the new norm in manufacturing, OpiFlex’s flexible mobile robot solution is likely to become increasingly invaluable.
