Industrial automation & robotics
Connected operations and systems.
We automate repetitive and demanding operations, connect machines into a shared system and provide real-time data for stable capacity and repeatable quality.
Service scope
Three levels of automation
From a single robotic operation to connected production. Each level can be implemented independently.
Automation & control
- PLC programming
- HMI and SCADA visualisation
- Electrical cabinets and wiring
- Line control upgrades
- Risk assessment and protective systems
Industry 4.0
- Machine connectivity using OPC UA, Modbus and MQTT
- Real-time data collection
- Production dashboards and alerts
- ERP and MES integration
- Batch and product traceability
Typical applications
Applications with an operational purpose
Potential applications depend on the process and equipment. These are not published client case studies.
CNC machine tending
The robot loads and unloads parts. The operator handles setup and process supervision.
We track: Machine utilisation and capacity
Palletising
Stacking boxes, bags and packages to a defined pattern, with product changeover.
We track: Physical workload and speed
Packaging and pick & place
Picking, orienting and placing products, including camera-guided handling.
We track: Productivity and repeatability
Welding
Robotic welding cells for series production with controlled process parameters.
We track: Weld quality and repeatability
Machine vision inspection
Checking dimensions, component presence and position, and reading codes. AI inspection can be added.
We track: Scrap and traceability
Internal logistics
Conveyors, buffers and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for moving materials between operations.
We track: Waiting and transport time
Technology selection
Robot or cobot?
Selection depends on cycle time, weight, batch size and space. A cobot also requires a risk assessment of the complete application.
| Criterion | Industrial robot | Cobot |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle & payload | Suitable for high speeds and larger payloads, depending on the model | Selected for payload and the application’s safe operating speed |
| Workspace | Usually a dedicated cell and protective devices | May operate in shared space following risk assessment |
| Changeover | Suitable for stable production runs and dedicated tooling | Suitable for flexible operations where cycle requirements allow |
| Typical applications | Palletising, welding, heavy handling | Machine tending, assembly and packaging |
Investment assessment
A decision grounded in numbers
We assess investment against measured production data: released time, additional capacity, quality and operating costs.
Released labour
Hours the team can redirect to other work.
Additional capacity
More good output within a stable production flow.
Quality
Less scrap and rework through a repeatable process.
Part of the technical solution
Safety from the design stage
Risk assessment
We assess the operation, human access and machine interactions before selecting protective measures.
Protective systems
We plan guards, protective devices and control functions to suit the application.
Documentation & acceptance
Documentation, tests and responsibilities are defined in the technical proposal.
From assessment to implementation
Working together
Scope and investment are defined after reviewing the actual process.
- 01
Assessment
Site review, cycle recording, requirements and constraints.
- 02
Concept
Layout, cycle simulation, budget and payback estimate.
- 03
Design
Mechanical and electrical design, controls and safety.
- 04
Build & FAT
Assembly and factory acceptance testing before delivery with client participation.
- 05
Installation & SAT
On-site installation, commissioning and site acceptance testing.
- 06
Training & support
Operator and maintenance team training, with a service agreement.
Practical answers
Questions before we start
Can robotics be viable for small batches?
The assessment depends on cycle time, changeover frequency and volume. A cobot or flexible cell may be suitable, but the choice must be justified by actual data.
Can we automate existing machines?
Yes, where interfaces and equipment condition allow integration. Obsolete controls can be modernised alongside automation.
Do we need a programmer on our team?
Operators manage daily work through an HMI panel. We train the team in programme changes and basic maintenance within the agreed scope.
Which brands do you work with?
We select the robot and components to suit the task, budget and available service support. Specific brands are defined in the technical proposal.
How long does a project take?
The schedule depends on complexity, equipment delivery and the installation window. It is defined in the proposal.
Who maintains the system after commissioning?
We offer a service agreement covering preventive maintenance, diagnostics and spare parts planning for the equipment.
