E-Device is a compact safety interface that runs the OmniCore User Interface on customer tablets and PCs, adding physical safety controls and linking offline programming tools to on‑line deployment.
E-Device turns a tablet or PC into a full-featured operator interface for OmniCore-powered robots, preserving the same UI used across ABB’s robot and cobot portfolio.
It integrates required physical safety controls (emergency-stop and three-position enabling switch) and meets ISO 10218:2025 plus CE and UL certification.
Supports RobotStudio, offline simulation and AppStudio no-code screens so users can build and test applications off-line, then deploy with the same device on the shop floor.
# What E-Device is and what it does
ABB's E-Device is a compact safety interface that lets customers use their own tablet or PC as the operator panel for OmniCore-powered robots and cobots. It runs the OmniCore User Interface so the screen experience matches ABB's teach pendants and other OmniCore devices.
Marc Segura, president of ABB Robotics, said: "Making robots more accessible and easy to use is at the core of our journey to more autonomous and versatile robotics (AVR)." He adds that E-Device gives customers the freedom to interact with robots using their own tablets or computers and helps reduce training and speed production ramp-up.
# How it integrates with ABB's tools
Built-in cameras and internet connectivity are included to support troubleshooting and access to online manuals. Images captured on the device can be saved into the robot's backup folder, tying on-site troubleshooting artifacts directly to the robot configuration.
# Safety controls and compliance
E-Device includes the physical controls required for manual robot operation: an emergency-stop button and a three-position enabling switch. ABB states the device complies with the updated safety norm ISO 10218:2025 and carries CE and UL certification. Those details matter for shops that must apply standard machine-safety practices while using a mobile device as a control surface.
# Practical benefits for operations and commissioning
The consistent OmniCore UI across robots, cobots and E-Device aims to reduce operator training effort. Key operational benefits described by ABB:
Because the device supports internet access, it can also serve as a gateway to online documentation and spare-part information during commissioning and maintenance.
# Where this fits in a factory setup
# Bottom line
E-Device is a safety-aware, mobile operator interface that extends ABB's OmniCore UI to customer tablets and PCs, links offline development tools to on-line deployment, and includes physical safety controls and compliance to current machine-safety norms.
AgiBot released AGILE 2.0, an end-to-end sense–control locomotion model that couples vision, terrain reasoning and whole-body loco-manipulation, complementing its separately detailed GE-Act 2.0 world–action stack.
