How we work
A robotic cell is decided long before it is built: in the plant visit, the gripper, the simulation and the test at our plant. Those steps stay with our own engineers, from the first visit to the service call years later. These are the nine capabilities they are made of, and the loop they form.
One team, from the first visit to service
Every cell we deliver goes through the same eight steps, in the same hands. Nothing that decides how the cell runs is handed to a subcontractor, so the engineer who simulated your cycle is the one who runs the FAT, and the one you reach when something stops.
- 01
Investment consulting
It starts in your plant, not at a drawing board. We look at how parts are loaded today, what the machine waits for, and what a robot would have to earn back, and we simulate the cell before we quote it. A feasibility study can end with a no.
- 02
Project management
After the order we work in weekly cycles: plan, update, review, next steps. The project board is shared with you, change requests are written down, and every milestone is one the cell can be tested against, on the way to the FAT and the SAT.
- 03
Mechanical and electrical engineering
The frame, the gripper, the conveyors, the guarding and the control cabinet are designed by our own engineers. What is only metalwork, such as sheet metal and welding, we buy from specialists.
- 04
Software and vision
IROVISION finds the part, System Manager shows the cell. We write both, and the PLC and robot programs, so when your part changes, the people who wrote the code are the people you call.
- 05
Robot integration
The robot is chosen after the process is understood: payload, reach and speed for your part, and the sensors that confirm every grip before the machine is allowed to start.
- 06
Assembly and FAT
The cell is built on one frame at our plant and runs its full cycle there with your parts: the factory acceptance test. We put it through the test ourselves before your team sees it, and your team is trained during it, by role.
- 07
Commissioning and SAT
The cell ships in one piece, is set down at your machine and commissioned by our engineers. The site acceptance test confirms it in your production, with your parts and your operators.
- 08
Nine capabilities
They mirror how our team is organised. Three plan the cell, four build its technology, two keep it running for years. Each page says what we do, where you can see it on this site, and where its limits are.
Plan
Before anything is built.
Technology
What the cell is made of.
Long term
The years after handover.
How a project is run
Between the order and the handover, four habits keep a project honest.
- 01
A weekly cycle
Plan, update, review or demo, next steps. Small steps, so a wrong assumption about your part costs a week, not a quarter.
- 02
A board you can see
The project board is shared with you. Change requests are written down and agreed before they are built, and risks are listed early, while they are cheap.
- 03
Milestones that can be tested
A milestone is a function the cell can show, not a date on a chart. The last two are the factory acceptance test at our plant and the site acceptance test in your production.
- 04
Proven before it travels
The cell runs its full cycle with your parts at our plant, in front of your team, before it ships. On site it is commissioned by the same engineers.
A feasibility study can also end with a no. Read how we think about a robot project.
Tell us about your part
Send us your part, your machine and your volumes. We will look at them with you and tell you whether a robot pays off, and which step comes first.
