Solution — Robotics integration
Robot cells that reach rate and stay there.
We design, build, program and commission industrial robot cells across every major platform — and remain accountable for cycle time, repeatability and uptime after handover.
Approach
Integration is a mechanical problem before it is a robot problem.
The arm is rarely the hard part. Cycle time is lost in part presentation, gripper mass, dwell for settling and the interlock handshake with upstream equipment. We size and simulate all of that before a purchase order for the robot is raised.
Every cell begins as a reach and collision study against your actual part geometry, then a cycle-time model that separates robot motion from process time. If the target is not achievable with one arm, you find out in week two — not during commissioning.
Safety is engineered from the risk assessment outward: ISO 12100 hazard analysis, ISO 13849-1 performance-level determination, and for collaborative applications, ISO/TS 15066 force and pressure validation with instrumented measurement.

FAQ
Questions about robotics integration
Which robot brands do you integrate?
ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, Universal Robots, Stäubli, Omron, Doosan, Techman and Dobot are the platforms we work with most often. We are independent of all of them and recommend based on payload, reach, cycle, controls environment and local service coverage.
How do you guarantee cycle time?
We model it before contract. The cycle-time budget separates robot motion — which we simulate in offline programming software against your part geometry — from process time, which is governed by your process physics. We commit to the robot motion component and state the assumptions behind the process component in writing.
Can you integrate robots into an existing line?
Yes. Brownfield integration is a substantial part of our work: retrofitting a robot to an existing station, replacing a manual operation, or adding a cell between two existing machines with the interlocking and safety rework that requires.
What is the difference between a collaborative robot and a fenced robot for my application?
It depends on the risk assessment, not the robot. A collaborative arm still needs a validated application: contact forces measured against ISO/TS 15066 limits, sharp-edge review and a stop performance study. Collaborative operation often costs cycle time; where floor space allows a fence, a standard industrial arm is usually faster and cheaper.
