Olis Robotics

Olis Robotics, founded in 2013 and based in Seattle, Washington, develops software solutions for remote monitoring and diagnostics of industrial automation systems. The company’s core product is a video-based robotic control system accessible via an Android application, enabling users to troubleshoot Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and robot controllers remotely. This solution aims to significantly reduce downtime and travel costs associated with traditional on-site diagnostics.

Olis’ technology centers around real-time screen sharing, continuous video recording synchronized with event timelines, and customizable condition monitoring of PLC tags and robot I/O. The system supports major industrial robot brands including Allen Bradley, FANUC, Kawasaki, Universal Robots, and Yaskawa (coming soon), and facilitates direct interaction with controllers through integrated terminals and SSH access. A key feature is the ability to collect and analyze historical data, providing complete visibility into events and facilitating root cause analysis.

Customers include industrial integrators and end-users seeking to improve operational efficiency and reduce maintenance expenses. Testimonials highlight the speed and ease of troubleshooting enabled by Olis’ platform. The software is available via an annual subscription of $499 and requires a compatible Android device and a USB-C to Ethernet adapter to connect to controllers.

Olis Robotics positions itself as a provider of rapid, accessible automation diagnostics, offering a streamlined alternative to complex, on-site troubleshooting methods. Their solution focuses on empowering users with the data and tools needed to quickly identify and resolve issues in their automated systems.
