Leases AI-powered robots for manufacturing

About Tutor Intelligence

Tutor Intelligence specializes in leasing AI-powered robots for manufacturing and packaging tasks to factories in the United States. Their robots can perform various essential functions such as conveyor loading, end-of-line packing, kitting, palletization, and depalletization. The leasing model operates on a 12-hour flat rate, allowing factories to use the robots without the financial burden of purchasing them outright. This flexibility enables clients to adjust their automation needs based on demand, making it particularly appealing to small and medium-sized enterprises as well as larger facilities. Tutor Intelligence's hybrid human-artificial intelligence engine allows for rapid deployment of robots, reducing setup time from months to just minutes. The company's goal is to enhance operational efficiency in the industrial automation sector while providing cost-effective solutions for factories.
