How Mitsubishi Cut Robot Setup Time by 80%
Lessons from a pilot project that solved the simulation-reality gap

Mitsubishi Electric Automation had a robot deployment problem that was delaying deals and frustrating customers.
Their six-axis arm robots were taking four to six months to fully reach promised performance levels. Customers paying $50,000 per robot watched expensive equipment sit under-utilized while engineers manually tweaked parameters for months to optimize production output and quality.
Then Mitsubishi ran a three-month pilot with predictive AI startup Kamet AI.
Results: 80% reduction in setup time! Furthermore, warranties could be extended from three years to five, creating a new advantage.
I spoke with Nivedita Ojha (CEO, Kamet AI) and Shaunak Mistry (CTO, Kamet AI) to understand exactly how they pulled it off - and what you can learn from their work.
