How Zentitle V10 Streamlined Licensing for Advanced Robotics Software

OCTOPUZ, a part of The ESAB Group Inc., needed to a flexible and streamlined

licensing solution to integrate with their complete re-architecture of its Offline Robot

Programming (OLRP) software. By implementing Nalpeiron’s Zentitle V10 platform, OCTOPUZ transformed its licensing operations, enhancing flexibility, optimizing resources, and improving customer satisfaction. This strategic move positioned OCTOPUZ for continued growth in the industrial automation market.

About OCTOPUZ

OCTOPUZ specializes in OLRP, enabling manufacturers to program robots away from the production line. Their solutions provide:

• Efficient programming tools that minimize downtime, the time that their robots are off the production line
• Seamless integration with various industrial robots
• Enhanced productivity and flexibility in manufacturing processes

For end users, OCTOPUZ’s platform translates to faster deployment times, improved application performance, and reduced operational complexity. This empowers manufacturers to achieve higher efficiency and ensure smooth operation of their automated processes.

Challenge

As OCTOPUZ advanced its product offerings, and developed a next generation version of its OLRP software, it required the adoption of a modern licensing system. It’s previous technology platform managed licensing directly with a system which was inflexible and created administrative burdens for OCTOPUZ, hindering its ability to scale and innovate.

Specifically, OCTOPUZ needed a licensing system that could:

• Provide greater control over license issuance and management
• Offer flexibility to support diverse customer requirements
• Free up internal resources to focus on core product development
• Improve the overall customer experience with a more modern solution

Solution

After evaluating several options, OCTOPUZ selected Nalpeiron’s Zentitle V10 for its comprehensive features, robust capabilities and visibility into the platform during the sales process.

Key Zentitle V10 features that benefited OCTOPUZ:

• Variety of licensing models and options available
• Comprehensive APIs for seamless communication between the app and Zentitle
• Efficient license creation, distribution, and management
• Detailed reporting and analytics for usage insights and compliance monitoring

Implementation

The adoption of Zentitle V10 was remarkably swift and efficient, taking only one week to integrate a working prototype into the OCTOPUZ software. This rapid deployment minimized disruption and immediately boosted operational efficiency.

Implementation process:

• Initial assessment and planning of licensing requirements
• Integration of Zentitle V10 with OCTOPUZ software
• Comprehensive testing and validation
• Full deployment and rollout

Results

OCTOPUZ’s adoption of Zentitle V10 yielded significant benefits:

1. Enhanced Flexibility and Scalability: With Zentitle, OCTOPUZ gained greater control over their licensing operations, allowing them to adapt to diverse customer requirements and maintain agility in the market.
2. Resource Optimization: Transitioning from the old system to Zentitle freed up valuable internal resources, allowing OCTOPUZ to focus more on product innovation and development.
3. Improved Customer Experience: Zentitle’s user-friendly features and smooth integration resulted in more efficient licensing processes, leading to higher customer satisfaction and fewer support queries. “The licensing solution on this new platform is accessible, easy to use, and more straightforward,” James remarked.
4. Streamlined Operations: The robust functionalities of Zentitle, including license creation, management, and detailed reporting, streamlined OCTOPUZ’s licensing processes and provided crucial insights into license usage and compliance.

Looking Ahead

With Zentitle V10, OCTOPUZ is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory in the industrial automation market. The flexible and scalable licensing solution supports OCTOPUZ’s mission to enhance manufacturing productivity and efficiency. OCTOPUZ is also looking at a future migration to Nalpeiron’s next generation platform, Zentitle 2 in order to take their licensing game to the next level. 

By leveraging Zentitle’s capabilities, OCTOPUZ can:

• Rapidly introduce new licensing models to meet evolving market demands
• Gain deeper insights into product usage, informing future development decisions
• Ensure licensing compliance across diverse deployments
• Focus more resources on core product innovation, maintaining their competitive edge in the market

OCTOPUZ’s successful implementation of Zentitle V10 has solved their immediate licensing challenges and laid a solid foundation for future growth and innovation in industrial automation.
