• E-Device brings operation, programming and monitoring to customers' own tablets and PCs
• Reduces training requirements and speeds up deployment through a consistent user experience across all OmniCore-powered robots and cobots
• Enables safe and flexible robot interaction with integrated safety controls and compliance with ISO 10218:2025

ABB Robotics is expanding its programming tool and user interface portfolio with the launch of E-Device, a compact safety interface that enables customers to use their own tablet or PC to operate, program and monitor OmniCore™-powered robots and cobots. Built on the OmniCore User Interface (UI), E-Device provides users with familiar, full-featured robot interaction with dedicated physical safety controls whether they are using a tablet, PC or robot teach pendant.

“Making robots more accessible and easy to use is at the core of our journey to more autonomous and versatile robotics (AVR^TM),” said Marc Segura, President, ABB Robotics. "Customers are looking for ways to quickly and easily customize and build solutions that can be readily adapted and scaled as their needs change, without the need to spend time learning how to use new interfaces or programming. E-Device gives them the freedom to interact with robots using their own tablets or computers. With a consistent user experience across OmniCore-powered robots and cobots, customers can reduce training, simplify deployment, and accelerate production ramp-up.”

The consistent OmniCore UI reduces training requirements and helps speed up deployment across ABB Robotics’ portfolio of robots and cobots. Customers can access ABB Robotics’ expanding suite of programming tools, including RobotStudio®, offline programming and simulation software, and AppStudio, a no-code tool for creating application-specific screens, enabling them to develop, simulate and tailor applications away from the production line before connecting the device to the robot for faster deployment and commissioning.
