About OpiFlex
OpiFlex makes industrial robot cells movable between machines, using a platform that docks into fixed floor locations for repeatable positioning. A pallet truck or automated guided vehicle can relocate the cell, freeing access to a machine and allowing the robot to be shared as production changes.
Its software generates robot programmes from a limited set of operator inputs, while surrounding-area monitoring reduces speed when people approach. Flexible grippers and standardised peripherals support changeovers between products. OpiFlex combines these elements with feasibility studies, installation support and rental options, targeting factories where short runs and changing product mixes make fixed automation harder to use consistently.
