The IoT provider UnaBiz had partnered with SoftBank Robotics to develop AI-enabled robotics sensor technology which can perform management and maintenance operations.
SoftBank was seeking to combine the humanoid robots with the UnaBiz sensors which would create a unified smart facility management platform. SoftBank’s humanoid robots are used in almost every industry from retail, tourism, health, education, and so on. With the combination of both expertise, the IoT devices will trigger AI-enabled autonomous robots to take care of maintenance and cleaning tasks.
UnaBiz sensors coupled with SoftBank Robotics
UnaBiz provides occupancy sensors which will enable the cleaning robots like Whiz to monitor and respond to tasks. Moreover, the environment sensors will help the robot map out the route and navigate through obstacles. The first rollout of the partnership between UnaBiz and SoftBank will happen in Singapore following other regional and global offices of SoftBank Robotics.
The Chief Business Officer of SoftBank Robotics, Kenichi Yoshida shared, “Teaming up with Unabiz, a leading market player in Singapore, we are confident that this partnership will not just add value to our customers but eventually make a difference in the entire sector. With the use of disruptive technologies such as predictive data on maintenance monitoring, [the partnership] will provide building owners with building intelligence that is needed to digitally transform this industry operating landscape.”
Both the companies confirmed that the new management platform will enable the building owners to significantly improve the customer experience and also help in cutting operational costs.
