In another step toward simplifying the development and management of smart inspection systems, Numurus has teamed up with PIckNik Consulting to create a Resident UI solution Smart Device Platforms (SDP). Numurus’ SDPs communicate natively using the ROS (Robot Operating System)framework. As a result of this collaboration each device will now come equipped with a Resident UI that provides a built-in ROS web server portal for system monitoring and management. This portal will be accessible through any network connected computer, tablet, or smartphone. In addition to simplifying the user experience through a common user experience and simplifying in-field accessibility, the interface’s scalable architecture will allow for rapidly customizable solutions for a wide range of applications. Numurus selected PickNik, a ROS software development firm, based on their unique combination of ROS and user experience expertise. Together, we are building a technically solid solution while defining a new standard in smart device management interfaces. The new RUI solution will possess several features including a dashboard for status and control, ability to access files, metadata, manuals and data, security settings, and the ability to configure modular based applications directly on the sensors. PickNik’s ability to provide ongoing B2B customization support for Numurus and its OEM customers make them the ideal partner and will enable tailoring a device’s RUI to provide optimized solutions for particular applications such as automated tank inspection or manipulator automation.

“We are delighted to find a company able to support our vision of a next generation user experience for smart sensors and robotic solutions.”, said Jason Seawall, CEO of Numurus. “This partnership will also significantly expand customization resources for both Numurus and its OEM customers, setting a new level of smart device adaptability and optimization for specific missions and applications.”

“We’re excited to be collaborating with Numurus on this ROS initiative and opening new doors.” Said CEO, Dave Coleman. “More and more companies are taking note of the flexibility and customization that ROS offers.”

“The Ocean of Things program is a great opportunity to advance Numurus’ vision of providing management solutions for fleets of remote smart devices and robotic inspection solutions”, said Jason Seawall, CEO of Numurus. “Not only is this program advancing our Edge software and Cloud management capabilities, it is significantly increasing the content of our Edge software marketplace with a library of new ROS processing modules.”
