The Strobo street construction robot developed by Street Robotics, a subsidiary of De Krom, needed a fitting user interface for their employees to operate it efficiently. Cboost created a digital twin, developed a wireless controller and launched an education program to improve usability.
De Krom is facing a 30% labor shortage within the next 10 years, caused by an aging workforce that retires or has health issues, and the limited appeal of the work amongst younger generations. To mitigate this, De Krom developed a street construction robot, ‘Strobo’. But they lacked a fitting user interface for their craftsmen.
Together with De Krom, Cboost developed a wireless controller with an intuitive graphical interface for their subsidiary Street Robotics, enabling any employee familiar with a smartphone to operate the street robot.
Additionally, a digital twin and educational program were implemented to facilitate training and remote operation of the street robot.
