How it works

From the technical visit to a cell in production.

The robot is ours. The integration is ours. The maintenance is ours. You pay a monthly fee for a task that stays covered, shift after shift.

The three steps

How we get to a cell in production

Step 1

We assess the task.

We come to your plant and measure what determines whether a robot can do the job. This is not a sales call — it is a technical assessment that ends in a yes or a no.

  • The cycle: how many times per hour, and at what rhythm.
  • The weight and geometry of what gets moved.
  • The reach required and the layout available.
  • Safety: who passes nearby, and how often.
  • If the task cannot be robotized today, we tell you during the visit.
Step 2

We buy and integrate the robot.

The capital investment is ours, not yours. We choose the arm to suit your task, design and build the tooling, install the safety system, and leave the cell installed and programmed.

  • Arm selected by reach, payload and cycle — not by catalogue.
  • Tooling built to fit your product.
  • Guarding, emergency stops and interlocks appropriate to the task.
  • Programming and tuning until the cell meets the cycle.
Step 3

We run it for you.

This is where the model differs from buying a cell outright. The cell remains our responsibility for the whole term: we monitor it, maintain it and repair it.

  • Remote monitoring from our control centre.
  • Scheduled preventive maintenance, not emergency repairs.
  • Critical spare parts held in our inventory.
  • On-site support with a response commitment defined in the contract.
  • Your team learns to operate the cell; they do not need to program it.
The fee

What the monthly fee includes

A single monthly fee covers the equipment and the service. There is no separate integration project and no separate maintenance invoice.

The robot arm

The equipment is ours for the whole term. It never touches your balance sheet.

Custom tooling

Designed and built for your product: gripper, vacuum cup, clamp or torch.

Integration and programming

Included. Never quoted as a separate project.

Installation and safety

Mounting, guarding, emergency stops and interlocks for the cell.

Monitoring and maintenance

Remote monitoring and scheduled preventive maintenance.

Spare parts and support

Critical parts in stock and on-site support when it is needed.

The boundaries

What the fee does not include

We would rather say this before you sign than after. This list is the reason you can trust the previous one.

  • Power and compressed air

    Plant utilities are on your side, as with any other machine.

  • Raw material and product consumables

    Sacks, packaging, product and anything the cell handles.

  • Major civil works

    If the installation requires reinforcing the floor, moving walls or extending the building, that is a separate cost, quoted in advance.

  • Upstream and downstream processes

    We cover the cell's task. The conveyors, fillers or forklifts that feed it remain yours.

  • Product changes that require re-integration

    If you change format and new tooling is needed, we review and quote it. We do not discover it midway through the contract.

The commercial process

From the first call to start-up

  • 1 · Assessment

    A technical visit to your plant. We measure the task and decide whether it can be robotized today.

  • 2 · Proposal

    Scope, equipment, monthly fee and term — in writing, tied to the task we assessed.

  • 3 · Deposit

    A deposit opens the project and reserves the equipment. The rest is the monthly fee.

  • 4 · Integration

    We build the tooling and prepare the cell before we touch your plant.

  • 5 · Installation

    On-site mounting and safety, coordinated with your shutdown window.

  • 6 · Supervised start-up

    We are on the floor during start-up and train your team before leaving it running.

Contract and terms

What the contract says

The model works because the investment is ours and is recovered over the life of the contract. Here are the terms, in plain language.

How long is the contract, and what happens when it expires?
Every contract has a minimum term and renews on expiry. The specific term is set in the proposal, according to the task, the arm it requires and the tooling that has to be built: palletizing sacks with a standard arm is not the same commitment as welding a part that needs dedicated fixturing. We do not work with trials or probationary periods — an installed cell is a cell in production, and the commitment runs both ways from day one.
What happens if my task changes during the contract?
Plants change product, format and line. If your task changes, we review whether the cell can be reconfigured. If it can, we reconfigure it and adjust the proposal. If it makes no sense, we remove it. This is the practical difference from buying: you are not left holding an asset that no longer fits your process.
What performance commitment does Robotix take on?
The commitment is scoped to the task the cell performs: its availability to run the cycle we agreed, and our response time when something stops. It is set out in writing in the contract, together with what falls outside our scope. We do not promise availability for your whole plant — the processes that feed the cell and the ones that depend on it remain yours, and saying so plainly from the outset is part of how we work.
How is the monthly fee calculated?
The fee is sized against the real, fully-loaded cost of the shift the cell covers — not against the nominal wage. That loaded cost includes benefits, turnover, absenteeism, and the downtime created by a post that cannot be filled. The specific number comes out of the assessment, because it depends on the arm, the tooling and the cycle. That is why we do not publish prices: we quote per deployment.
