A configured transport route
We select a suitable platform, define the route and transfer points, and configure transport for the agreed container.
Project concept · Material supply
Bring materials to the assembly station.
We connect material requests with robot transport from storage to assembly. Your team gets a clear workflow for preparation, movement and handover, designed around your containers and routes.

MATERIAL FLOW / SAMPLE ROUTE
From request to handover
Trigger a request
The workstation requests a prepared kit.
Confirm handover
The team accepts the specified load.
THE STARTING POINT
Where effort builds up today.
Assembly staff interrupt their work to collect prepared parts. The store often needs a phone call to find out whether a container has arrived or is still required.

THE DELIVERABLE
What you have at the end of the pilot.
Requests and confirmed handovers
A simple request starts preparation. Travel begins after loading is approved; a staff member confirms receipt at the destination.
A workflow you can verify
You receive a trip log, documented exceptions and instructions for loading, stopping and restarting.
FROM TRIGGER TO HANDOVER
How one step leads to the next.
- 01
Request the material
Assembly requests a prepared container. The task identifies the destination and required material.
- 02
Load and release
The store checks the container, places it on the platform and releases the trip.
- 03
Transport and receive
The robot travels to the defined handover point. Assembly removes the material and confirms receipt.
- 04
Review the trips together
The platform returns. The process owner reviews trips, interruptions and staff effort against the agreed criteria.
- One contact personSomeone in your team who knows the workflow.
- Access to examplesDocuments, recordings or test accounts, depending on the task.
- From managementOne kickoff conversation and the decision after the pilot.
THE FIRST DEPLOYMENT
A clearly bounded pilot.
One internal route, one container type and one assembly station. Staff initially handle loading and unloading; automatic doors and additional stations are assessed separately.
What we need to begin
- An accessible work area with details of routes, floors, doors and crossings.
- A sample container with confirmed weight, dimensions and transfer height.
- A responsible person from storage or assembly and agreed rules for trial operation.
ASSESSMENT POINTS
Time to handover
From requesting a prepared container to confirmed receipt, with waiting time recorded separately.
Staff effort per trip
Loading, unloading, accompanying and intervention are compared with equivalent manual trips.
Trips and interruptions
We record completed trips, stops, obstacles and the assistance each one required.
FAQ
Before we start.
Does our warehouse software need rebuilding?
The first workflow can start with a simple request. We assess a warehouse connection based on the required task data and available interfaces.
What happens if the route is blocked?
We include these situations in the test. Stopping, notification, clearance and restart are defined before operation and checked in practice.
What counts as a successful test?
Before starting, we agree on the task, test cases and acceptance criteria. Storage and assembly assess the whole workflow, including manual work and remaining limitations.

Robotics & operations
From Service Request to Parts Handover
We connect service request handling with preparation and robot transport of the required parts kit. The pilot brings one clearly defined workflow together, from a reviewed request to confirmed handover to your technician.

Make Tool Checkout and Return Traceable
We automate checkout and return for selected tools using a cabinet with controlled compartments. The pilot combines access permissions, tool identification and a traceable handover record, while the responsible team retains condition checks.
