In this episode of Intralogistics Insiders, Tobias Ortmaier, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer at VOROOS Robotics, shares a story that begins with robots and ends with code.
VOROOS started like many automation companies — designing and building collaborative robots from the ground up. But Tobias and his team soon saw the real obstacle wasn’t hardware. It was how the entire automation process was programmed, connected, and scaled.
“The challenge wasn’t the robot,” he says. “It was everything around it.”
That realization changed everything. Instead of chasing better mechanics, VOROOS built a middleware platform — an open, no-code system that connects robots, cameras, conveyors, and software into one orchestration layer.
The result: automation that behaves more like an app than a factory line.
By introducing Python-based interfaces and a visual programming environment, VOROOS empowers engineers — and even developers outside traditional robotics — to automate faster and more flexibly.
“We open automation to IT,” Tobias explains. “Anyone who can code in Python can now control robots.”
This shift breaks the wall between IT and OT, creating a bridge where flexibility replaces rigidity. For Tobias, the next decade of intralogistics will belong to those who treat automation not as a machine problem, but as a software challenge.
Because the future of robotics isn’t just about motion — it’s about communication.
🧠 Listen to this episode to learn how VOROOS is redefining automation, one line of code at a time.
