Nowing

NOWING is a software-forward robotics startup that provides affordable, autonomous, and decentralized solutions to scale repetitive physical work in the life sciences and manufacturing. In addition to supplying cost-optimized hardware, we bring places of production both large and small into an automation development ecosystem that enables higher integration, productivity, and growth by affording them access to cutting-edge IoT and machine learning products. NOWING Cell Cycle is a modular cell culture maintenance system designed to help biomedical researchers automate media replacement, drug delivery, and cell passaging, and reduce barriers to using iPSCs in disease research and treatment development. NOWING Sight is a camera with embedded vision and a platform for on-demand computer vision programming. Users upload images of their targets and get matched with the right engineer to create their custom application, which could be as simple as an algorithm to recognize standard items on a production line or as complex as a model to identify cancer cells or detect unusual activity in a public space. NOWING SCARA, a lightweight 4-axis robot with integrated machine vision, is a low-cost platform for automated visual inspection, pick and place, liquid handling, and assembly tasks. NOWING Factory is its online control software, complete with a digital twin of the robot and workspace to integrate real-time information and deduce changes in process parameters. Users can control their robot from any device using JavaScript or C language APIs, through NOWING Factory, or with the help of on-demand development and off-the-shelf algorithms found in the NOWING Sight marketplace.
