In New York City you can find skyscrapers that would provide you with an incredible view, and you could also find one of the most dangerous jobs performed by humans, that of cleaning windows at a great height.
And what if a robot could perform this task?
Well, Ozmo, a high-rise window cleaning robot, will be delivered to New York City skyscrapers thanks to an agreement between Skyline Robotics and Platinum, Inc.
Inc. Platinum is a provider of property replacement and maintenance services in the New York metropolis, which has contracts for 65% of Class A properties.
Skyline Robotics CEO and President Michael Brown said automation will play an important role in the future of facade access work, increasing productivity and reducing hazard.
“We are delighted to partner with Platinum to put Ozmo to work and propel our company to new heights.”
Platinum will add Ozmo’s operations to its current window cleaning division, Palladium Window Solutions. Skyline Robotics will train the Platinum team and certify them as Ozmo operators. The Platinum team will take over the operations of the Ozmo system.
This is a new solution offered by Skyline Robotics with a faster, safer and more cost-effective automated option, with minimal costs for window cleaning tasks. Which includes a 6-axis industrial robot KUKA designed robotic arm, integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer vision with modern robotics and sensors.
John Bubnikovich, KUKA Robotics Regional Director for North America. He explained that several of the latest advancements in robotics applied to this solution include on-the-fly control of KUKA robots in terms of pressure applied during the cleaning process, as well as the ability to compensate for a moving scaffold due to weather and conditions. changing architectural characteristics of the building ”. Giving efficiency and safety to the maintenance of buildings.
Skyline Robotics’ partnership with Platinum marks the organization’s entry into the US market.
