Frequently asked questions

Planning a robot project

How do we know whether a task is a good fit for automation?

A good first project has repeatable parts, measurable cycle time, clear quality criteria, and a manual step that causes delays or ergonomic strain. If parts vary heavily or arrive randomly, we may recommend fixture changes or a pilot station before a full cell.

Do we need robot experience on our team?

No, but we do need a process owner who understands the current production step. We provide operator training, maintenance notes, backups, and a handover session so your team can run the cell confidently.

How long does a typical project take?

Simple training benches can ship in four to six weeks. Compact production cells usually take eight to fourteen weeks after samples, purchase order, and safety requirements are confirmed. Complex vision or material-flow projects may take longer.

Can we start with one station and expand later?

Yes. Most Robot Factory platforms are designed in modules. Many customers automate one bottleneck first, collect production data, and then add inspection, buffering, or material movement once the value is proven.

What information should we send for an initial review?

Photos or video of the current process, target cycle time, part drawings, sample quantities, available floor space, utilities, safety requirements, and any known pain points are enough for a first conversation.

What happens after installation?

We schedule a stabilization period to review alarms, cycle time, operator feedback, and spare parts. Service contracts can include remote support, annual inspections, software backups, and change requests.
