With SharpBot, you get the best of both worlds: the freedom to build autonomously, and the expertise to back you up.
Our founder
Dr. Milind Karkare
with more than 25 years of experience in the industrial automation, simulation and process control field realized that many tools exist to help customers achieve autonomous operations but they rarely work together effectively – and in most cases, you need a specialized academic degree to use these tools.
He put his experience in software development and process modeling into a single “#bot” platform that capitalizes on the latest innovations in software, mathematics, AI and optimization technologies.
His dream is to make this platform available with a unique and affordable business model so that small and medium size companies and their suppliers and automation integrators can tackle the challenge of autonomous operations themselves. He is seeking to make it easier for companies worldwide to convert their knowledge and data into practical bots without getting tangled into the latest buzzwords.
