IRVINE, CA, May 28, 2025 – Addverb has partnered with Infineon Technologies AG to integrate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-based communication systems into its robotic platforms. This integration is intended to improve operational safety by enabling reliable communication between robots and their environment. The use of BLE technology supports the development of scalable robotic systems and aligns with evolving safety and interoperability standards in industrial automation.
Addverb has implemented the upgraded solution across Zippy 10 robots in active warehouse environments. These solutions enable safety protocols beyond Wi-Fi infrastructure, with a BLE-powered emergency stop system that deactivates robots in sensitive situations within seconds to prevent pitfalls. The deployment includes remote power cut-off feature, allowing centralized control of robotic fleets without manual input.
Sangeet Kumar, co-founder and CEO of Addverb, said, “Our collaboration with Infineon Technologies marks a pivotal step in Addverb’s pursuit of delivering intelligent, connected automation for the global supply chain. The reliability of BLE overcomes critical constraints we have observed with Wi-Fi in warehouses-especially in safety scenarios where every millisecond matters. This collaboration allows us to co-create innovations that set new standards for safety and performance in connected automation. We are confident that these innovations will qualify us to build a robust foundation of a reliable and safe automative solutions for our partners.”
Shantanu Bhalerao, vice president, wireless product line, Infineon Technologies, added, “We are pleased to collaborate with Addverb in advancing safety and connectivity in industrial robotics. This partnership not only enables the integration of our advanced Bluetooth low-energy technology into real-world automation scenarios but also reinforces our commitment to delivering robust, industrial-grade connectivity solutions. Through close cooperation with Addverb’s engineering team, we are able to align our product development – such as the upcoming AIROC CYW20829 Bluetooth LE MCU module – with the evolving demands of large-scale robotic applications.”
