Diversified technology company DSS, Inc. launched a new subsidiary called DSS Robotics on Sept. 8, 2026, to provide AI-powered robotics and intelligent automation solutions for enterprise customers, according to an official company announcement. The newly formed business expands the Rochester, New York-based firm’s portfolio into artificial intelligence, robotics, and intelligent automation, aiming to help organizations automate operational tasks, boost efficiency, and support safer workplaces.
Services and Robotics-as-a-Service Model
According to DSS, Inc., DSS Robotics is developing a comprehensive suite of enterprise automation services. These offerings include strategic consulting, systems integration, deployment, lifecycle support, and a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) operational model. The subsidiary plans to collaborate with various technology partners to identify and deploy robotics and AI hardware specifically suited to different customer operating environments. “Artificial intelligence and robotics are changing how businesses approach operations,” said Jason Grady, Chief Executive Officer of DSS, Inc., in the official announcement. “DSS Robotics is a natural extension of our enterprise technology capabilities, with a focus on applying automation to real operational needs and delivering measurable value for customers.”
Rochester Innovation Center and Manufacturing Integration
This center will function as both a live operational deployment site and a customer demonstration facility. It is designed to provide a real-world setting where businesses can evaluate applications of intelligent automation across manufacturing, logistics, and commercial operations. “Our goal is not simply to place robots in a facility; it is to help organizations identify where intelligent automation can make a meaningful operational difference,” Grady stated in the company release, adding that the Rochester center will give the company a practical environment to test and refine applications with partners.
Corporate Strategy and Future Outlook
Headquartered in Rochester, New York, and traded on the NYSE American under the ticker DSS, DSS, Inc. operates across diverse business lines, including product packaging, biotechnology, commercial lending, and securities management. The parent company builds high-growth subsidiaries with the intent of unlocking value through strategic public listings and IPOs.
