Mishima Kosan partners with Ready Robotics to implement ForgeOS for simulation testing on Nvidia Isaac Sim – Robotics & Automation News

Mishima Kosan, a diversified company with a strong presence in steel production, product manufacturing and engineering services, has formed a strategic partnership with Ready Robotics, a pioneer in no-code software for industrial automation.

Through this collaboration, Mishima Kosan will deploy Ready Robotics’ ForgeOS, an innovative low-code/no-code platform that allows users to easily program and control robots and automation devices, in conjunction with Nvidia Isaac Sim, a extensible robotics simulation platform that gives users a faster way to design, test and train AI-powered robots.

By partnering with Ready Robotics, Mishima Kosan aims to enhance its automation capabilities through simulation and provide even more advanced solutions to its customers in various industries, including steel mills, chemical plants, automotive glass plants and construction materials factories.

The low-code/no-code nature of ForgeOS will enable the Mishima Kosan team to quickly and efficiently develop and deploy automation solutions.

Yoshifumi Mizomoto, Managing Director of Mishima Kosan, said: “We are pleased to partner with Ready Robotics and leverage their ForgeOS platform.

“As we continue our own industrial automation journey, we look forward to collaborating with Ready Robotics.

“ForgeOS’s low-code/no-code capabilities and independent bot control, combined with the ability to simulate and test automation workflows using Nvidia Isaac Sim, will provide a significant advantage in delivering innovative solutions and drive the future of automation in Japan. and beyond.”

ForgeOS, developed by Ready Robotics, is a device-agnostic low-code/no-code platform that allows users to easily program and maintain automation systems, regardless of the brand of robot, sensor or any other material.

By integrating ForgeOS with Nvidia Isaac Sim, users can access virtual robots and simulate manufacturing lines from the comfort of a desktop computer without the need for specialized hardware or extensive programming knowledge.

Uniquely, ForgeOS allows a bi-directional connection from simulation to the real work cell, meaning that programs can be easily transferred from simulation to real, while data and updates from the physical work cell can be retrieved to the simulation.

Kel Guerin, co-founder and chief innovation officer at Ready Robotics, said: “Our partnership with Mishima Kosan demonstrates the growing demand for accessible and user-friendly automation solutions.

“By combining the power of ForgeOS’s low-code/no-code capabilities with Nvidia Isaac Sim, we enable manufacturers to create and test automation workflows in simulation before deploying them in real-world environments, saving money time and resources.

As Mishima Kosan and Ready Robotics embark on this strategic partnership, powered by Nvidia’s simulation tools, industries in Japan and around the world can look forward to a future where automation is more accessible, more efficient and more adaptable to the ever-changing needs of the market.
