Robotics and automation are increasingly being explored in maintenance, from inspection drones to autonomous robots that perform specific tasks. However, real-world adoption remains limited, and the integration of robots into existing maintenance processes and systems is still at an early stage.
In this challenge, you are asked to explore how robots can function as “workers” within maintenance processes in an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) context.
We are looking for:
• A clearly defined and realistic robotics maintenance use case, illustrating the interaction between humans, robots, and an EAM system
• An analysis of feasibility (technical, operational, economic, and business model)
• Your perspective on how robotics impacts Ultimo’s role and value proposition
You should also address:
• How robotics could improve or transform Ultimo’s business model
• What new opportunities this creates, for example:
o New product features or modules
o Integration platforms for robotic systems
o Data-driven services
o Partnerships
The outcome should be presented as a concept, prototype, or scenario, supported by a clear and structured elevator pitch. Strong solutions balance innovation with realism and demonstrate clear value for both end users and Ultimo.
