Late last year we were happy to announce our distribution partnership with PLiBOT (part of Obayashi Corporation). This strategic alliance immediately expands the reach of our advanced positioning and mapping technology using 3D LiDARs to the Japanese market.



To put the money where our mouth is, one of our founders, Sales Director Dr. Jussi Suomela travels to Tokyo to participate in the Factory Innovation Week (FIW), which combines 4 exhibitions for future factory technologies. PLiBOT will participate in the RoboDEX, which is one of the leading robotics technology exhibitions. Jussi will be there to support their Team and share details of our products and success stories from our past and present Use Cases.


So if you happen to be Tokyo January 21-22, 2026, make sure to visit PLiBOT’s stand and have a chat with him.
