There is a growing demand for intelligent automation and Industry 4.0 solutions that help increase plant productivity and conserve resources. Thomas Fechner, Head of the Automation and Electrification Solutions division at Bosch Rexroth, said: "Factory automation is a key focus for Bosch Rexroth. We are strengthening our product portfolio in an organic way through the development of innovative products (e.g. ctrlX AUTOMATION) and appropriate acquisitions (e.g. the acquisition of Elmo).

With this acquisition, Bosch hopes to combine Elmo's innovative strength and dynamism with Bosch Rexroth's factory automation expertise and strengthen Elmo's ability to develop and manufacture leading-edge motion and servo control products. Elmo plans to remain as an Israel entity, managed locally and retain the existing workforce.

In addition to the fixed roof, walls and floors, all production equipment can be moved and can be reassembled autonomously for new production tasks, which is Bosch Rexroth's blueprint for the factory of the future. We are constantly introducing solutions that adapt to this concept, and Elmo's compact and robust intelligent drives will perfectly complement the Bosch Rexroth portfolio.

"By adopting Elmo's technology, we are able to integrate smartphone-sized drives into robots or autonomous transport vehicles," says Fechner. As a result, Elmo's technology opens up new areas of application and addresses special technical challenges, such as the decentralized configuration of autonomous transport vehicles, service robots or machine drives. In this respect, Elmo's products demonstrate their strengths primarily through their sportiness, compactness, energy efficiency and precision, as well as their high dynamics. ”

Haim Monhait, Founder and Owner of Elmo Motion Control, said: "I'm thrilled that Elmo's team, technology and customers have found a brighter and more promising path to the future. Elmo was able to join Bosch Rexroth not only because of the complementary products but also because of the convincing growth prospects of the company's customer-oriented approach to factory automation. Elmo will continue to develop innovative, intelligent and leading-edge motion control solutions that improve machine performance for the benefit of our customers. ”

Strengthen investment in factory automation

Bosch Rexroth acquired a majority stake in Kassow Robots in the spring of 2022. The Denmark company with around 25 employees focuses on the production of collaborative robots that can be used in industrial manufacturing in a variety of ways. Cobots have an extremely high payload and range, and can work in the tightest of spaces: Kassow Robots' seven-axis cobots can grip items in corners like arms, thus offering market-leading flexibility.
