Holman has its hand in just about every aspect of the auto industry.
Now it’s branching out — into the robot business.
The dealership group/global automotive services company announced the launch of Holman Robotics, a new division that aims to deliver end-to-end robotic management systems.
The company said it’s offering solution design, flexible financing and lifecycle asset management in a single model to make it easier for businesses in all industries to deploy robotics and industrial automation at scale.
“Robotic automation can transform a company’s operations, boost efficiency and reduce expenses, but high upfront costs, technical complexities and an overwhelming network of vendors often slows adoption,” Holman CEO Chris Conroy said. “Holman is ready to change that. We are building on decades of experience managing complex assets for our customers.
“As the industry’s premier fleet management provider, Holman helps businesses eliminate those barriers to entry and will deliver tailored robotics solutions that align with our customers’ business goals and operational workflows.”

In a news release, Holman Robotics said it will take a holistic approach to robotic automation, bundling hardware, data integration, management software and support into a single system.
The model, designed to allow customers to “launch faster, scale smarter and maximize the long-term value of their investment with less complexity,” includes:
Design advocacy: The company said it will work to align robotics solutions with business priorities and validate technical fit through a network of OEMs, system integrators and technology providers.
Financing: Flexible funding options are available, designed to consolidate expenses and turn large upfront capital investments into manageable operating costs.
Centralized management platform: Holman said its unified platform integrates automation data for real-time monitoring, lifecycle management and performance optimization.
“As a growing number of businesses embrace robotic assets across a variety of industrial applications — warehousing, manufacturing, sorting, security, cleaning — there is clear need for a simplified solution to effectively deploy and manage those units,” Holman vice president of robotics Joe Foster said. “Our vision is to be a trusted strategic partner that provides organizations the expertise and resources they need to deploy robotic assets faster, more easily and with confidence as they embrace the potential of industrial automation.”
