Published purpose

The OSB Press Repair Robot has demonstrated technical and commercial viability through successful deployments in industrial environments. However, the current design is not optimized for production. Manufacturing is slow and labour-intensive, requires significant manual machining and rework, and involves components that are difficult to produce consistently. As a result, production capacity is constrained, limiting market penetration. Nova Robotics will optimize production of the OSB Press Repair Robot in order to achieve higher annual volume, shorter lead times and lower production costs. This will allow additional sales and open avenues into other potential markets.
