With support for modern development tools like Python and JavaScript, NOVA makes automation accessible to everyone. It streamlines robot programming, deployment, and scaling through AI-driven tools for planning, building, and operating.

Wandelbots will present NOVA, THE agnostic robot operating system, at ProMat 2025 in Chicago. This marks the first time NOVA is being presented live in the US. By eliminating vendor lock-in, simplifying programming, and enabling AI-powered automation, NOVA is transforming how manufacturers and logistics providers deploy robotics.


With support for modern development tools like Python and JavaScript, NOVA makes automation accessible to everyone. It streamlines robot programming, deployment, and scaling through AI-driven tools for planning, building, and operating. Seamless hardware integration allows cost-effective scaling across multiple robots and brands. Strategic collaborations with Microsoft and OpenAI also ensure continuous innovation through cutting-edge AI capabilities.

"At Wandelbots, we believe automation should be easy, scalable, and future proof. At ProMat 2025, we will show how our software-driven approach redefines industrial robotics," says Christian Piechnick, CEO of Wandelbots.

Software-Driven Robotics for the US Market

NOVA provides US businesses with the tools to streamline operations, maximize efficiency, and future-proof automation strategies. It empowers companies to implement robotics without complexity or vendor lock-in and is redefining how US businesses approach robotics and automation—making it smarter, faster, and more adaptable.

For supply chain executives, NOVA enables data-driven decision-making by predicting ROI before investment. Scenario-based feasibility studies ensure that automation projects are successful from the start. Additionally, the platform allows businesses to scale automation across diverse robot brands, eliminating dependency on a single vendor. AI-powered real-time insights further optimize overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), improving productivity and uptime.
Logistics and warehouse managers benefit from NOVA's Sim-to-Real technology, which accelerates deployment by 50 % while eliminating costly errors. AI-driven robotic path planning enhances efficiency in sorting and fulfillment processes. Furthermore, NOVA supports seamless retrofitting, allowing businesses to upgrade existing automation lines without disruption.
For manufacturing engineers, NOVA provides a future-proof automation framework. Robotics setups can be adapted effortlessly, even without specialized expertise. Precision and scalability are enhanced by using digital twins, which validate automation feasibility before deployment. As a unified ecosystem, NOVA seamlessly integrates with Microsoft, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, and leading automation vendors across various hardware peripherals, ensuring compatibility and long-term innovation.
We invite you to see NOVA at ProMat 2025 March 17th to 20th, McCormick Place in Chicago, in North Building, Hall B - N6215. For scheduling an appointment or interview just send an e-mail to wandelbots@finkfuchs.de.

The piCOBOT Electric vacuum generator

The piCOBOT Electric vacuum generator

Fully electric, slim design and absence of air-tubing and cabling. The new piCOBOT® Electric heads towards another success for Piab's piCOBOT® program. A secondary effect of these achievements is the absence of entangling air tubing and cabling. It simplifies the installation, and as the new piCOBOT® Electric only needs a single connection on the cobot arm, the clean set-up allows a completely unrestricted movement. The new piCOBOT® Electric package will contain plug & play software to fit UR e-series cobots, but many other useful adaptations will be introduced in the coming year
