Rapid’s mission is to provide manufacturers a robotic solution that can be deployed against simple tasks in hours rather than weeks, and at a fraction of the cost of other automation solutions that require extensive manual programming. Our product is a fully integrated robotic arm work cell that is trained to perform tasks out of the box, and learns new tasks via our cloud infrastructure, AI, and Computer Vision. Rapid’s software provides our customers with an intuitive interface that gives them the tools to deploy and redeploy Rapid’s automated work cells on their manufacturing lines without having to be a robotics expert. To enable accessible and simple user-facing controls requires an extensive and specialized technology stack. Rapid’s platform is powered by AI and Computer Vision that drastically reduces the complexity, cost, and time typically required to set up a robotic arm. In short, we are automating the process for deploying manufacturing automation. Rapid’s solution is already deployed with customers, and is proven to deliver increased profits and decreased costs, making our solution indispensable for the future of manufacturing.

We are a creatively driven full-service agency committed to always being a challenger. We are champions of positive dissatisfaction because we believe no one ever made anything great from a place of satisfaction. We believe the path to exponential growth is innovation, and that brands that embrace change are more profitable and grow faster. We are known for using creativity to get brands an unfair share of attention and business impact. And that’s why we are, pound for pound, the most effective agency network in the world for 11 years running. With offices in Boston, LA, and New York, brands like Acura, Bayer, Corona, E*TRADE, Grey Goose, Hawaiian Airlines, KFC, Navy Federal Credit Union, and Patrón, among others, trust us.
