What does Botsync do

Founded in 2019 by graduates of Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, Botsync specializes in integrated automation solutions for manufacturing operations. The startup has developed a flagship product, syncOS, which is a no-code integration platform that connects different robotic and automation systems on a single interface.

The platform includes pre-built integrations with major automation products, allowing users to streamline their operations without needing extensive coding knowledge.

Botsync’s MAG Mobile Robots replace traditional manual equipment like forklifts and pallet trucks, automating intralogistics tasks within manufacturing facilities.

"Botsync eliminates fragmentation across manufacturing processes, simplifying the adoption of robotic systems for both our customers and network of automation partners," said Nambiar.
