In a strategic move to meet the escalating demand for automation, Fizyr, a leading developer of computer vision software for robots, has established its U.S. headquarters in Dover, Delaware. The new base will serve as a hub for technical and business relationship management for North American systems integrators and robotics integrators. Jeff Lomax, VP of Business Development, will be in charge of managing integrator partnerships, while Bob Brown, VP of Project Management, will supervise partner projects.
Fizyr’s CEO, Ken Fleming, highlighted the importance of reliable computer vision to automate tasks in highly variable environments. This is critical to overcoming the final barriers of automation and protecting businesses from tight labor markets and shrinking margins. “Fizyr’s strategy of enabling integrators with our vision technology creates best-of-breed solutions for their customers in logistics/3PL, retail, e-commerce, and manufacturing,” said Fleming.
The demand for automated processes like depalletizing, trailer unloading, item picking, bin-to-bin pick and place, and detection is skyrocketing. In response to this, Fizyr is expanding its North American operations to bring new levels of reliability to these complex tasks.
Following the inauguration of its U.S. headquarters, Fizyr is planning a multi-city U.S. roadshow in September. The roadshow aims to introduce its new team, its unique cascade learning approach to machine learning, and its near 100% success rates to existing North American partners and other integrators and prospects. CEO Fleming and Chief Commerce Officer Tibor van Melsem Kocsis will join Lomax on the U.S. roadshow, which begins in Las Vegas.
The expansion comes at a time when the market for robotic picking is projected to reach $6.8 billion by 2030, up from $236 million in 2022, according to research from Interact Analysis. To cater to this burgeoning demand, Fizyr partners with top integrators to develop solutions for significant unmet needs in the field of electronics, computers, and coding.
Just like its European counterpart, Fizyr’s new U.S. team offers more than just the world’s most effective brain to maximize robotic capabilities. The team provides a suite of value-added services including pre-sales consulting and engineering, implementation services, technical support, training, account management, and more. These services are designed to ensure integrators can provide customers with the most effective automation solutions available.
In this era where programming languages and coding are becoming increasingly important, Fizyr’s expansion into the U.S. market represents a significant step forward. The company’s commitment to providing reliable computer vision technology and its unique cascade learning approach to machine learning will undoubtedly contribute to the advancement of automation in various sectors, including retail, e-commerce, and manufacturing.
In conclusion, Fizyr’s establishment of its U.S. headquarters is a strategic move to meet the rising demand for automation amid a growing market for robotic picking. The company’s commitment to providing reliable computer vision technology and a range of value-added services will likely position it as a leader in the automation industry. With an experienced team led by industry veterans, Fizyr is poised to drive innovation and deliver best-of-breed solutions to its customers in North America.
