March 19, 2025 Wandelbots Showcases Future of Robotics at ProMat 2025

Wandelbots NOVA – THE agnostic robot operating system.

• Wandelbots NOVA redefines robot programming and deployment
• NOVA enables programming and controlling robots independent of the vendor
• Leveraging AI and digital twins for 50 % faster commissioning
• Strategic partnerships with NVIDIA, Microsoft, and 3M

Wandelbots will present NOVA, THE agnostic robot operating system, at ProMat 2025 in Chicago. This marks the first time NOVA is being presented live in the US. By eliminating vendor lock-in, simplifying programming, and enabling AI-powered automation, NOVA is transforming how manufacturers and logistics providers deploy robotics.

With support for modern development tools like Python and JavaScript, NOVA makes automation accessible to everyone. It streamlines robot programming, deployment, and scaling through AI-driven tools for planning, building, and operating. Seamless hardware integration allows cost-effective scaling across multiple robots and brands. Strategic collaborations with Microsoft and OpenAI also ensure continuous innovation through cutting-edge AI capabilities.

“At Wandelbots, we believe automation should be easy, scalable, and future proof. At ProMat 2025, we will show how our software-driven approach redefines industrial robotics”, says Christian Piechnick, CEO of Wandelbots.

Software-Driven Robotics for the US Market

NOVA provides US businesses with the tools to streamline operations, maximize efficiency, and future-proof automation strategies. It empowers companies to implement robotics without complexity or vendor lock-in and is redefining how US businesses approach robotics and automation—making it smarter, faster, and more adaptable.

• For supply chain executives, NOVA enables data-driven decision-making by predicting ROI before investment. Scenario-based feasibility studies ensure that automation projects are successful from the start. Additionally, the platform allows businesses to scale automation across diverse robot brands, eliminating dependency on a single vendor. AI-powered real-time insights further optimize overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), improving productivity and uptime.
• Logistics and warehouse managers benefit from NOVA’s Sim-to-Real technology, which accelerates deployment by 50 % while eliminating costly errors. AI-driven robotic path planning enhances efficiency in sorting and fulfillment processes. Furthermore, NOVA supports seamless retrofitting, allowing businesses to upgrade existing automation lines without disruption.
• For manufacturing engineers, NOVA provides a future-proof automation framework. Robotics setups can be adapted effortlessly, even without specialized expertise.

Precision and scalability are enhanced by using digital twins, which validate automation feasibility before deployment. As a unified ecosystem, NOVA seamlessly integrates with Microsoft, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, and leading automation vendors across various hardware peripherals, ensuring compatibility and long-term innovation.

Live Demos & Industry Use Cases

At ProMat 2025, visitors can experience firsthand how NOVA bridges the gap between simulation and reality. AI-powered digital twins predict ROI and reduce errors by up to 90 %, ensuring automation success.

In warehouse and logistics automation, AI-driven robotic path planning optimizes material handling and sorting, increasing efficiency. For manufacturing intelligence, adaptive automation enables flexible production lines, reducing cycle times by 50 %. Companies like Volkswagen, 3M, and SHL AG are already leveraging Wandelbots NOVA to scale automation smarter and faster – demonstrating its real-world impact across industries.

At ProMat 2025, Wandelbots will demonstrate through a real-world use case, why SHL are building the future of their sanding applications on NOVA, unlocking new levels of efficiency, precision, and scalability in industrial automation. This demo showcases an end-to-end agnostic automation and robotic platform approach that maximizes automation along the whole automation lifecycle:

• First, it enables system integrators to plan, simulate, and validate automation use cases with near-real digital twin experiences, enhanced by AI capabilities for precise and efficient system design.
• Second, it seamlessly bridges the gap between simulation and real-world deployment, transferring robot programs from virtual environments directly to the factory floor for rapid execution.
• Third, it allows integrators to develop intuitive, end-user-friendly applications, ensuring that robotics is no longer limited to experts but accessible to operators of all skill levels.
