"From day one, the SoftBank Robotics team has never left us – they are a true partner, and their services are what have made our program a success. There are a lot of robots out there, but we hadn’t been successful in adopting autonomous solutions until this program."
— Steve Dybowski, SVP, National Facilities, Equity Residential

Our Adoption Program Success Stories


Learn More
Successful robotics programs go beyond deploying robots — but too often, resources are not focused on driving successful adoption. With our industry-leading services and support, we commit to helping customers maximize value for their organization by implementing a holistic program. This program starts from our first meeting and continues from deployment through successful adoption (including repairs and replacements to ensure minimal robot downtime).

Deployment and Onsite Service

Hit the ground running from day zero. We begin the upfront work before your first day so you can achieve faster time-to-value.

Our teams conduct onsite visits to understand your environment, train your staff, and do the pre-work or mapping needed to hit productivity targets sooner. Program includes:

  • Pre-deployment and onboarding session(s) to define deployment needs and program success metrics
  • Onsite training and deployment
  • Post-deployment follow-up to guarantee success

As part of our post-deployment program, we have timeline-based benchmarking to help you assess your progress from the Adoption Phase (initial weeks) through the Productivity Phase (which is optimized on an ongoing basis).

We have best-in-class hourly usage

targets that are proven to help your teams optimize performance faster.

Customers often get competitive

and exceed our targets of 15 hours of autonomous runtime per robot in their first week of usage.

Healthy robotic adoption is, for example,

20 hours of weekly usage vs. 2 hours, which is what most clients who have previously tried robotics manage.

Customer Success

Our Customer Success Managers specialize in change management and are here to work hand-in-hand alongside your team(s).

1. Onboarding Success:

Before deploying, our team sits down with you to identify risk factors and establish KPIs to measure adoption outcomes and success.

  • For example, if your environment has potential obstacles, our team will provide consultation on how to make adjustments before launch.
  • We’ve learned that preventative maintenance practices are crucial to achieving your performance targets and have the guidance and training to help your teams keep your robots in tip-top shape.
2. Program Launch Support

Rolling out a collaborative robotics program requires thoughtful internal and external communications to create awareness and excitement.<

  • Our teams are armed with email templates, executive talking points, and external comms examples to ensure the launch facilitates successful program adoption.
3. Real-Time Dashboard and Automated Reporting:

Track the real-time performance of your robots for data that can guide decision-making. Pair actionable insight with continuous expert guidance to drive targeted improvements in productivity and robotic effectiveness.

4. Ongoing Strategic Guidance:

Regular partnership touchpoints like Operational Reviews help you establish and achieve new metrics of operational success.

Repairs and Replacement Program

Swap Program: Our zero-added cost swap program guarantees minimal downtime if your robot needs to be repaired.
  • If your robot needs repair or is inoperable, SoftBank Robotics will ship you a replacement unit while we arrange for the pick-up of your old unit as covered by Terms and Conditions.
