Dear reader,
Are robots a serious business? This month keeps answering the question for us. Our team is growing, seriously. Fleet management is getting seriously deeper as FieldBots 6.2 and 6.3 take shape. And manufacturers? Seriously funded, with investors placing nine-digit bets on the industry.
As always enjoy our monthly newsletter!
|
Five new colleagues within a few weeks: FieldBots has grown into a seriously sized team. Time for introductions.
|
Hans Döbel joined us a month ago: six years a Navy sysadmin, BSc in Software Engineering next month. His fingerprints already show on our backend stack. Welcome aboard, Hans!
|
Reinforcements for the US
|
You may not see their faces, but you might hear their voices: Marcella, Kory, and Walter have joined our US sales team. If your phone rings, take the call.
|
Eliska Urbancova has joined FieldBots as Sales Manager Europe. Fluent in Czech, English, German, and Slovak, she will drive our growth in selected market segments. Expect to hear from her soon!

Fleet Management, Taken Seriously
|
A growing team is one half of the story. The other is what it ships. Three things we are serious about right now:
|
Released with FieldBots 6.2: robots, just like human team members, can now work in more than one team. Share robot access with other teams and end customers, with optional time limits.
|
14 Manufacturers, 44 Robots
|
FieldBots 6.3, coming in the near future, lifts supported integrations from 13 manufacturers and 30 robots to 14 and 44. With 15 and 50 on the roadmap, FieldBots stays the unchallenged integration platform.
|
Depth is the current focus: Gausium robots now accept task triggering via platform and API, Kärcher robots report live water levels. More of this is coming across the lineup.
|
Manufacturers Take It Seriously
|
We are not the only ones meaning business. Funding rounds and long partnerships show manufacturers moving to serious scale. Three highlights from FieldBots Radar:
|
