About OnRobot
OnRobot supplies end-of-arm tooling and deployment software for collaborative and light-industrial robot cells. Its hardware includes electric, vacuum, magnetic and soft grippers, force/torque sensors, vision systems, screwdrivers, tool changers and palletising equipment for machine tending, assembly, packaging, material handling and surface finishing.
The One-System interface provides common mechanical, electrical and software integration across tools and major robot brands. D:PLOY adds application configuration, robot-motion generation, monitoring and redeployment for repeatable cell types such as palletising, CNC machine tending, packaging and transferring. OnRobot distributes its products through more than 700 distribution and system-integration partners, with small and mid-sized manufacturers forming an important target market.

Timeline
Events
- 2023-01-12 - Product Launch - OnRobot launches D:PLOY robotic deployment platform
D:PLOY initially supported palletizing, CNC machine tending, packaging and transfer applications. The platform was designed to automate application setup on the factory floor without programming experience. The product gives OnRobot a concrete offering for warehouse automation and material-handling workflows.
