Rethink Robotics is a new kind of robotics company, and their mission is to create a new kind of manufacturing robot. One that introduces robotics into processes that manufacturers have never been able to cost-effectively automate. One that uses common sense to perform a wide range of tasks and vastly improve productivity. And one that safely works side by side with its human counterparts, who are able to train it with no programming or engineering expertise. Year founded: 2008

API integration tools that work the way you want - fast and easy API Connectors: In just minutes, you can automatically extract strong-type metadata from any core system to create a standard Java API that includes the business logic. API Design: Using built-in templates and wizards, automatically extend back-end entity objects into web or mobile applications, REST APIs or SOA web services. API Enhancement: Inject multiple layers of security and accelerate performance. If needed, edit the metadata to create a custom solution. . API Deployment: One-click deployment means the API can easily be consumed and re-used by any Java developer for any digital service. Innovate anytime, anywhere. API Testing: Our API software helps you keep your pace with built-in JUnit testing and continued testing in run-time. API Management: Easily manage your APIs by monitoring who is using them, how they are used and where they are used.

Emulate3D develops virtual commissioning, throughput simulation, and industrial demonstration products to accelerate Internet of Things (IoT) development and adoption. Emulate3D Controls Testing models connect natively to a wide range of PLCs, and can be connected to other manufacturers' products via a wide range of industrial standard protocols. The Emulate3D framework also facilitates robust connections to WMS, WCS, and ERP systems for High Level Emulation.

The proposed MES architecture is based on the Internet of Things (IoT), completely linking all resources and the manufacturing companies' security needs. Consequently, shop floor and IT clouds should be separated. In order for the machine level to reap benefits from cloud technologies, a specific modification known as the edge cloud or fog, was employed. The central instance, the Edge Gateway, connects the edge cloud with the IT cloud. Therefore, shop floor components can communicate with each other in real time and the IT cloud can retrieve and manage the data. IT support in production plays a key role for Integrated Industry (Industry 4.0). In order to cover future production processes new standards and functions are required, which will especially affect MES applications. MPDV introduces a concept for the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) of the future MES 4.0.

The company wants to change that reality with its smart collaborative robots like Baxter and Sawyer that can easily work with humans and adapt to real-world variability and imperfections. A collaborative robot, as Rethink's engineers define it, is intended to work interactively in a people-compatible way. Unlike traditional robots, Baxter learns by training, not by programming.
