Engineer the interfaces before equipment arrives on site.
Successful integration depends on clear boundaries and information. We define what the cell receives, what it delivers, how it communicates with surrounding machinery, how operators interact with it and how performance will be accepted.
Build and testing aim to close issues before site deployment. Representative products, agreed formats and realistic operating sequences allow tooling, controls, paths, sensing and fault recovery to be exercised before installation.
Discover
Capture products, formats, rates, current process, layout, utilities, standards and acceptance priorities.
Engineer
Define robot, tooling, fixtures, product flow, controls, interfaces, safeguarding and documentation.
Build and test
Assemble, program and prove automatic, manual and recovery sequences with representative products.
Install and commission
Position, connect, test and optimise the cell with the live production equipment and team.
Typical project stages
The exact deliverables and acceptance plan are agreed for each project.
| 1. Application review | Products, process, target output, layout, utilities, risks, interfaces and priorities |
|---|---|
| 2. Cell concept | Architecture, preliminary layout, tooling approach, product flow and safety strategy |
| 3. Detailed engineering | Mechanical, electrical, controls, interfaces, risk reduction and documentation |
| 4. Build and programming | Assembly, robot paths, PLC/HMI, vision, devices and integrated sequence |
| 5. Factory testing | Representative formats, performance, alarms, recovery, safety functions and agreed acceptance |
| 6. Site handover | Installation, commissioning, training, final checks, backups and support planning |
