Meet the New SOFTBOT® Platform Experience!
We’re excited to share the new SOFTBOT Platform experience, a web-based portal that provides customers with multi-site monitoring, automated alerting, and self-serve user management. Customers using this centralized portal will also gain immediate access to future features and enhancements without requiring any upgrades or downtime.
Reduce downtime
Automated alerting
- What is the challenge? Without real-time alerts, IT teams cannot respond quickly to system failures, prolonging downtime and can even halt production lines, delay shipments, and incur penalties.
- What is the solution? A new alert management feature enables Admin Users to configure organization-wide alerts for critical events. This includes notifications for site transitions (e.g., online to offline) and SOFTBOT state changes (e.g., Faulted or Idled). Users can choose to receive these alerts through in-app notifications, SMS messages, or emails, providing flexible delivery options. Additionally, any user within the organization can easily manage their alert preferences.
- Who does this help? IT support teams and administrators responsible for monitoring system health and maintaining operational standards across the organization.
Get system visibility
Multi-site monitoring
- What is the challenge? To minimize downtime and prevent system disruptions, teams need the tools and visibility to quickly identify the root cause of errors and reduce time to resolution.
- What is the solution? A multi-site monitoring dashboard helps customers quickly understand system health across their facilities. They will also have access to all troubleshooting tools currently available in the platform, plus enhanced search-ability of error logs.
- Who does this help? IT support teams
Empower your team
Self-serve user management
- What is the challenge? Customers currently rely on the SVT Robotics support team to add/remove users and permissions.
- What is the solution? In the new platform experience, customer admins have a centralized portal to add, remove, and set permissions for users independently. This enables enhanced efficiency, security, and compliance.

Stay up-to-date
Easy access and upgrades
- What is the challenge? UI upgrades to the SOFTBOT Platform currently require customers to upgrade their SOFTBOT Engine, delaying access to the latest features and enhancements. Also, some customers must VPN into an office server to access the system health of their deployments.
- What is the solution? By decoupling the management and visibility of deployments on the SOFTBOT Platform from the SOFTBOT Engine, customers gain immediate access to newly released product features and enhancements (such as alerting). Plus, since this is a cloud-based experience, customers just need access to the internet—no VPN required.
- Who does this help? Operations, IT, Business leaders
