Formant

Founded 2017

Monitor, operate, and collect telemetry data from robot fleets across diverse environments

You can use Formant to connect, monitor, and manage heterogeneous fleets of robots across various industrial environments. The system lets your engineering teams collect live telemetry, stream sensor data, and store video recordings directly from operating machines. You can remotely diagnose technical issues, execute teleoperation interventions when autonomous navigation gets stuck, and track mission metrics in real time. Formant also provides a governed operational layer to orchestrate complex robotic workflows, centralize fleet analytics, and integrate machine data into existing enterprise systems.
