The manufacturing industry in the Western world represents an enormous challenge with high salaries, smaller batches and marginalization in the global competition. Companies have mostly manual labor and struggle with low degree of automation

utilization - Long pay-off of fixed robot
• Bottlenecks varies over time - Unable to move the robot
• Small series/batches, new products daily - High programming costs
• Need manual access to the machines - Fixed robot and fences blocks machine for manual operation

One way to solve some of the challenges is to move the whole robot cell to the machine that need automation at the moment. By moving the robot you share the investment with several machines, can automate the bottle necks and you get manual access for the smaller batches. OpiFlex have developed a world unique mobile robotics platform with patented docking system ensuring high precision and stability for large robots at full performance. OpiFlex’s mobile robot solution has been nominated by the European Commission for the Business Innovation Observatory Awards - Brussels, 16 April 2015, as one of ten companies. OpiFlex is one of the companies on the Swedish robot company's top-ten rating according to Sweden's largest business newspaper DI Weekend 2012-01-27

🎄 Closing 2025 — looking ahead to what’s next

What if the real competitive advantage in 2026 is the ability to move fast and stay flexible?

As we close 2025, we want to thank our customers and partners — and wish you a
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous New Year 2026 🎄✨

Across industries we work with every day:

🏭 Sheet metal
🔩 Machining & CNC
🪚 Wood machining
🥤 Food & Beverage
🚚 Logistics & E-commerce

🚀 2025: A year of progress
In 2025, we expanded into logistics and e-commerce, where variation, complexity and short lead times are part of everyday reality.

We also ended the year with a strategic order from a global Automotive Tier-1 supplier — a clear signal that flexible automation matters, even at scale.

💡 Looking into 2026
In 2026, we’re launching new robots, new hardware and new software, while pushing our Dynamic Program Generator (DPG) even further.

The direction is clear:
Automation must be able to adjust, reconfigure and keep delivering value — even as conditions change.

More to come in 2026 — stay tuned by following us here.

💬 Let’s continue the conversation
💡 Where do you see the greatest need for flexibility in your operations?
💡 What would future-ready automation look like for you?

Honored to give back – this time from the other side 🙏

One year ago, I was honored to receive the Founder of the Year award by Founders Alliance
– recognizing our journey with OpiFlex and Rent a Robot, where we’ve pushed boundaries in flexible automation with 33 patents and real-world impact.

This year, I have the privilege to serve on the Founders Jury for the upcoming 24th Founders Awards Gala, held at the iconic Berns Salonger in Stockholm 🇸🇪.

The Founders Awards are more than a ceremony. They are a peer-driven recognition of long-term value creation, leadership, and contribution to society — by founders, for founders. Being part of this community is a true source of energy and perspective 💡

Being a founder is not just about building a business – it's about persistence, reinvention, and staying grounded while chasing bold visions. That’s what this award celebrates. And that’s what I look forward to honoring.

To all this year’s nominees: Congratulations and thank you for inspiring us all.
Let’s celebrate the power of founders to shape the future 🚀

🚀 10 Years of Disruption — and We're Just Getting Started

What if the most flexible automation solution wasn’t a cobot?
What if it was something better—something beyond cobots?

Ten years ago, OpiFlex won the EU’s Big Innovation Award as the most disruptive innovation. Today, we’re still leading—with 33 patents, global recognitions, and a technology that transforms how automation adapts.

Here’s the challenge:
Manufacturers—from sheet metal to food and automotive—need to switch between hundreds or even thousands of products daily.

❌ Traditional robots are too rigid.
❌ Cobot safety comes with limitations.
✅ OpiFlex combines mobility, patented safety, and ultra-fast programming.
✅ Install in 1 week. Program in minutes. Scale with ease.

And yes, we’re entering the U.S. after massive interest from this article:
🔗 The Fabricator – Flexible Mobile Robots

We’re proud to support small businesses running 24/7—
And helping OEMs future-proof global production lines.

📣 What’s your biggest automation challenge today?
📣 How would a plug-and-play flexible robot change your daily operations?

Idag är det 10 år sedan OpiFlex vann EU kommissionens stora innovationspris som mest Disruptive Innovation. juryn sa, "OpiFlex har löst en viktig utmaning för Europas tillverkande industri"

Stolt när jag tänker tillbaka på denna resa... Och vi fortsätter att ligga i framkant i världen inom flexibel robotik. 33 patent och på väg in i USA... Stolt över mitt grymma team och stöd av familjen.

❓How many different products can your robot handle in a year? 20? 100? What about 4,000?

One of our small manufacturing customers just sent us a morning photo—their robot had run all night again.

Here's what's wild:
✔️ 4,000 product variants per year—in a single machine
✔️ 1 robot, moved between machines
✔️ No programming skills required
✔️ +52% productivity gain

This is the kind of flexibility that transforms automation from “nice to have” to game-changing ROI.

Traditional robots? They would have taken 8–10 hours per product setup and sat idle most of the time.

This is the future—zero-programming, mobile, lights-out production. And it’s already happening.
