Martin Wanitschke & Wandelbots
At Wandelbots, we believe robots can do more than just one job. Just like how our world is always changing, we think robots should be able to adapt and change with us. We don't want only the experts to have all the fun; we want everyone to experience the magic of automation.
Wandelbots NOVA guides businesses through planning, building, and scaling automation. With familiar tools and integration of software and hardware, NOVA ensures consistent performance with minimal disruptions.
Our name combines the German word 'Wandel' (meaning change) with 'Bot', showing our love for our roots and our passion for modern tech. In simple words, we're here to shake things up, make robots more accessible, and let everyone be a part of this exciting journey.
