June 26, 2025 | Boston — Realtime Robotics, a pioneer in real-time motion planning for industrial robots, has announced two major integrations that further expand the reach and power of its flagship product, Resolver™. The company has added native support for Fanuc robot controllers and Siemens programmable logic controllers (PLCs) — two of the most widely used platforms in global automation. This move significantly strengthens Resolver’s role as a universal automation enabler, bringing faster robot programming, better error recovery, and streamlined deployment to a broader range of industries.

By integrating directly with Fanuc and Siemens systems, Realtime Robotics is tackling one of the most persistent challenges in automation: complexity in programming and adapting industrial robots to dynamic environments. Resolver allows multiple robots to plan and re-plan their motion paths instantly, in real time, avoiding collisions and responding to changes — without requiring manual reprogramming.

Fanuc is one of the world’s largest suppliers of industrial robots, with a dominant presence in sectors like automotive, electronics, and general manufacturing. Siemens, meanwhile, is a global leader in factory automation through its SIMATIC PLCs. With the new integrations, Realtime Robotics can now offer plug-and-play compatibility with automation systems that control tens of thousands of robots worldwide.

Instead of relying on custom middleware or complex programming layers, manufacturers using Fanuc and Siemens can now directly harness Resolver's real-time path planning and orchestration capabilities. This includes automated error recovery, optimized sequencing, and the ability to manage multi-robot workcells with greater efficiency.

At the core of Resolver is Realtime Robotics’ proprietary motion planning engine, which continuously calculates the optimal, collision-free paths for one or more robots in rapidly changing environments. This technology is particularly valuable in applications like machine tending, bin picking, and assembly, where robots often work closely together and need to adapt on the fly.

With the Fanuc and Siemens integrations, users can eliminate hours of manual programming and configuration. Instead, Resolver can “watch” the environment and make split-second path adjustments — reducing downtime and boosting throughput.

By making its software compatible with leading hardware ecosystems, Realtime Robotics is positioning itself as a foundational layer in the evolving smart factory landscape.

Peter Howard, CEO of Realtime Robotics, emphasized the significance of the new integrations by highlighting their impact on simplifying automation processes. “The ability to directly integrate with the platforms manufacturers already use—Fanuc robots and Siemens PLCs—is a huge step forward. We’re removing the friction that has traditionally slowed down automation, making it easier for companies to scale,
” he stated. This development aligns with the company’s overarching mission to eliminate complexity from robotic automation and to promote seamless “plug-and-play” capabilities.
By providing native interoperability with widely used industrial platforms, Realtime Robotics is effectively bridging the gap between hardware and software, accelerating deployment, and empowering manufacturers to create smarter, more adaptable production environments.

The new capabilities come at a time when manufacturers are facing labor shortages, increasing pressure for operational efficiency, and growing interest in flexible automation systems. Resolver’s ability to dynamically adapt to unexpected events — such as dropped parts, changing work orders, or robot downtime — makes it especially relevant for high-mix, low-volume production environments.

With Fanuc and Siemens now fully supported, Realtime Robotics is likely to attract more interest from large-scale integrators and OEMs looking to deploy multi-robot systems with reduced complexity and faster ROI.
As industrial automation becomes more software-defined, Realtime Robotics’ resolver is emerging not just as a tool, but as an operating system for robotic intelligence.
