Storage → Workstation
Transport containers or components to defined handover points.
ROBOTICS / INTERNAL TRANSPORT
Automate your first transport route.
Move materials, tools or containers along a recurring route: we assess the path, payload and handovers, then plan a focused robotics pilot for your operation.
One concrete process is enough to get started.

IS THE TASK A FIT?
Start where routes repeat.
Station → Station
Move materials between recurring process steps.
Operation → Service point
Supply tools and consumables along a defined route.
WHAT WE ASSESS FIRST
One route. The conditions that matter.
Route & environment
Widths, floor conditions, crossings, doors, people and available charging locations.
Payload & handover
Weight, dimensions, containers, transfer height and current loading steps.
Frequency & control
Trips per shift, priorities, order triggers and response to interruptions.
HOW WE ASSESS THE PILOT
A completed trip is only part of the result.
We agree on measures for the complete process: completed transports, waiting times, staff interventions, availability and remaining support effort. Equipment, integration and ongoing costs are included in the assessment.
FAQ
Before we start.
Do we need to replace our software?
We assess your existing interfaces first. A pilot can start with a simple, clearly defined way to trigger tasks.
What happens with obstacles or connection issues?
These situations are included in the test plan. Behaviour, staff intervention and restart procedures are defined before deployment.
Who handles maintenance and spare parts?
Responsibilities are established before procurement. Spare parts, documentation and support availability are part of hardware selection.
How much time does our team need?
We start with one workflow and one process owner. Data, site visits and testing time are agreed before the pilot.

THE NEXT STEP
What should work better in your business?
Tell us about a process that takes up your team’s time. We discuss where automation could help and what is needed to define the next step.
Describe the start and destination, payload, approximate weight and trips per shift. A simple site plan helps with the next conversation.
Your effort: one person who knows the workflow, access to examples, a kickoff conversation and the decision after the pilot. We handle integration, setup and coordination with vendors. What we take on ↗
