I’ve learned over the years that an important factor for a company to be successful is its ability to remain relevant – the combination of adapting, creating value, focusing on people, generating revenue, and creating innovation/ inventions. Companies who fail to do any of the five jeopardize their relevance and ultimately the health of the company. Since Ally was founded, the world has changed – pandemic, climate, AI and advancements in space. On a more micro scale, over half a million robots are being deployed annually at a growing rate. This is in addition to the millions of machines, equipment and other automation technology. Couple this with US reshoring, an aging trades workforce (ex: welder age 55 ) and the next generation of people are focusing more on tech, healthcare, hospitality, and entertainment, there’s a workforce void that will continue to grow. I see there’s a growing opportunity to connect the system of work together – people, robots, machines and tech together to get work done. In that vein, and with the same vision to create Automation for Anyone, Anywhere, Ally Robotics is pivoting in our strategy and business plan. Moving forward, we are shifting focus from a hardware centric company to software and services centric company. We’re setting out to solve the challenges enumerated above by connecting the people and tech to improve how work gets done through an AI driven software platform. This platform will solve for interoperability, work and resource management, ease of use and workforce training (human and robot). I deeply believe in forming teams around their strengths to deliver the greatest impact. To enable Ally’s pivot, I’m extremely excited to announce two important partnerships:     Packaging Systems – a leader within the packing industry for decades, Packaging Systems takes a unique approach to partner with their customers to create a continuous improvement packaging plan (CIPP) to drive out cost per load while improving product safety, security and environmental impact. For Ally, this unlocks an entire highly connected and established sales team within the packaging industry. For Packaging Systems, Ally is able to expand packaging system’s value add services to their customers with automation capability.  Doosan Robotics – a leader in robotics backed by a determined team of experts. Their strong focus on people and innovation deeply resonates with and are harmonious to that of Ally’s culture. ...meant to be? At a tactical level, Doosan Robotics provides Ally with hardware allowing Ally to focus on software. For Doosan, Ally is now officially a preferred Doosan Robotics system integrator. We already have 3 of their robots on site working towards unique customers.     Stay tuned as we share more details and answer questions about our software products, customers, business plans and partnerships.    I’m incredibly excited for 2024. I’m determined to not let the vision, customers, partners and shareholders down.
