Olis Robotics

About Olis Robotics

Olis Robotics develops remote monitoring, control, and diagnostic technology for industrial robots, programmable logic controllers, and automated production systems. Founded as a spinout from the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory, the company helps manufacturers and automation integrators diagnose equipment problems remotely, reduce downtime, and support more installations without requiring technicians to travel to every site.

Its products combine controller access, machine-state data, synchronized video, event histories, and remote troubleshooting tools. Olis also provides an edge-based layer through which supported AI agents can securely observe operational data and assist with analysis without sending factory data to the cloud.

Platform & Solutions

Olis Robotics offers an Android application, industrial-PC software for Windows and Linux, and an integrator partner program.

Core capabilities include:

• Monitoring robot controllers, PLC tags, live inputs and outputs, machine state, and automation events
• Synchronizing historical equipment data with video recordings for fault diagnosis
• Providing remote access to robot teach pendants, controller terminals, and programming environments
• Connecting supported AI agents to factory-floor data through an edge-based, supervised environment
• Supporting controllers from manufacturers including FANUC, Universal Robots, Kawasaki, Yaskawa, Allen-Bradley, and ABB
• Enabling automation integrators to provide remote support across a larger installed customer base
