QUAN: iPhone-Controlled Robots Could be the Future of Manufacturing Industry

As Quantum International Corp. (OTCBB: QUAN) works to deliver life-changing robotics innovations to customers, the market is trending toward smaller, more user-friendly robots designed to work alongside humans-not replace them.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As Quantum International Corp. (OTCBB: QUAN) works to deliver life-changing robotics innovations to customers, the market is trending toward smaller, more user-friendly robots designed to work alongside humans-not replace them.


"Small manufacturers are the future for industrial robotics," said Quantum CEO Robert Federowicz. "We're exploring the development of smaller, safer assembly line robots that you won't need a hard hat to get near. Smartphones and tablets like the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPad could provide the ideal interface for these new machines."

This more affordable, more flexible generation of robots could help bring more manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., eliminating the need to outsource complex, repetitive tasks in the manufacture of electronics such as smartphones and laptops to countries with low wages.

"The next generation of industrial robots will be closer to iRobot's (NASDAQ: IRBT) Roomba than the one-armed giants welding cars together today," Federowicz said. "We're hard at work positioning Quantum to capitalize on this coming wave."

Quantum is currently negotiating a definitive agreement with Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurement (PIAP), a prestigious European robotics developer. Partnering with PIAP could be the key to unlocking billions in potential revenues in the booming robotics industry: 5,556 robots worth $403.1 million sold to North American companies in the second quarter of 2012, up 14 percent in units and 28 percent in dollars over the same period last year.
