Acumino, a Renton, WA-based company focused on general robotic intelligence, and Spindle, Woodridge, IL, announced a partnership. This collaboration will integrate Acumino’s AI platform with Spindle’s automation systems to create the next generation of smart robotic solutions for the commercial laundry sector.
The partnership will address the commercial laundry industry’s most pressing challenges, including chronic labor shortages, rising operational costs, and the need for increased efficiency and reliability. By combining Acumino’s hardware-agnostic AI and human-to-robot skill transfer technology with Spindle’s industry expertise and robotics platforms, the two companies will deliver automation solutions for the linen, uniform and facility services industry.
“Our mission at Acumino is to bring general robotic intelligence to any industry that can benefit from it,” said Patrick Jarvis, president of Acumino. “Spindle Robotics’ deep understanding of the commercial laundry landscape makes them the ideal partner to bring our AI technology to this sector. Together, we can provide solutions that not only solve the immediate labor challenges but also significantly improve the efficiency and quality of laundry operations, leading to a rapid return on investment for our customers.”
The integrated solutions will enable robots to perform a wider range of complex tasks, from delicate garment handling and sorting to adaptive problem-solving in dynamic laundry environments. This will allow commercial laundries to automate tasks that were previously too complex for robotic systems, freeing up human workers to focus on higher-value activities.
“Spindle Robotics is focused on bringing practical, impactful automation to the commercial laundry industry,” said Tom Abbett, business development director at Spindle. “This partnership with Acumino allows us to take a quantum leap forward. By embedding Acumino’s AI into our systems, we will offer our customers a level of robotic intelligence and flexibility that was previously unimaginable. We are excited to work with Acumino to co-develop a new generation of robotic solutions that will set a new standard for the industry.”
