Independent robotics & industrial automation integrator
We help businesses automate their operations with robotics. We manage everything from initial discovery, solution design, vendor selection, forecasts, integration and ongoing support.
01 Why automate
Robotics and industrial automation take on the repetitive, physical and round-the-clock work, so your people can focus on the work that needs their judgement.
02 Our role
A full automation programme involves multiple vendors, disconnected systems and unclear accountability.
Adega acts as an independent partner, with access to 20,000+ vendors, bringing the right technologies together into one coordinated solution.
03 Applications
Manufacturing, logistics, warehousing and materials handling. We don’t specialise in one vertical; we specialise in understanding operations.
End-of-line stacking, mixed-SKU pallets, layer handling.
Loading and unloading CNC, presses, moulding and test rigs.
Case packing, erecting, sealing, labelling, wrapping.
Vision-guided inspection, measurement and traceability.
AMRs, AGVs and conveyors for internal transport.
Goods-to-person, piece picking, sortation, WMS links.
Dispensing, screwdriving, fastening, kitting.
Tasks that are unsafe, unpleasant or hard to staff.
04 How we work
Four clear stages. You can engage us for one or all of them — most clients start with discovery, because it answers the most important question first: is this worth doing?
We visit your site, map your processes and look at the data to understand how the operation really runs.
You get A clear view of what is worth automating — and what isn’t.
We design the solution around your process, from robots to conveyors and controls, then find the right technology and suppliers.
You get A costed design and roadmap you can take to the board.
We manage procurement and bring equipment from multiple vendors together into one system that works.
You get A live system, delivered with minimal disruption to operations.
We stay responsible after go-live, keeping the whole system running and improving over time.
You get One partner to call — whichever vendor’s equipment is involved.
05 Services
From the first strategic question to the last service visit. Use us for a single piece of work or the whole programme.
06 Why independent
Manufacturers are often excellent at what they make. But each one will naturally recommend its own products — and few will take responsibility for equipment they didn’t supply. Independence means our only job is to get you the right result.
| Consideration | Going direct to a manufacturer | Working with Stratum Robotics |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Their product range | Your operational problem |
| “Is automation right for us?” | Rarely the question | Always the first question — we’ll say if it isn’t |
| Recommendation | Their technology | The best combination from across the market |
| Multiple vendors | You coordinate them | We integrate and coordinate them |
| Responsibility | Split across suppliers | One accountable partner |
| After go-live | Support for their equipment | Support for the whole system |
We select from any manufacturer, in any of these categories, and connect them to the systems you already run.
07 Who we help
You don’t need to know anything about robotics or automation to talk to us. Start from a project or from a problem.
Path A
You have a process or project in mind. We’ll test the idea, specify it properly, find the best suppliers and deliver it — integrated with everything else on site.
Path B
You may not know whether automation is the answer. Start with the problem — we’ll work out what will genuinely help.
Examples, not a fixed list. If yours isn’t here, start with the problem.
Machine tending, welding, assembly and palletising.
Picking, packing, palletising and packaging lines.
Mobile robots, automated storage, conveyors and sortation.
Sample handling, inspection and serialisation checks.
Grading, packing and palletising in packhouses and glasshouses.
How we keep advice sound
We keep a structured record of what we learn about processes, technologies, suppliers and how equipment performs once it’s running, and we draw on it every time we make a recommendation. That way our advice builds over time rather than starting from scratch.
We are not a manufacturer and we don’t push a product range. Where it helps, we manage procurement on your behalf — but the technology is always chosen on merit, to suit your operation.
Robotics usually means machines that handle or move things themselves, such as robot arms, collaborative robots (cobots) and mobile robots. Industrial automation is the wider picture: conveyors, automated storage, packaging machinery, and the controls, sensors and software that run a line or a whole site. Most sites need a mix of the two, so we plan them together.
Then we’ll tell you. Sometimes a process change, layout change or simpler equipment delivers more value. Our job is to solve the operational problem, not to sell automation for its own sake.
Yes. Most sites already run a mix of equipment, controls and software, such as PLCs, SCADA, and warehouse, manufacturing or business systems (WMS, MES, ERP). Connecting new automation to what’s already there, and making better use of it, is a core part of what we do.
No. We work with operations, engineering, finance and leadership teams, and explain everything in plain terms. Where you do have engineering staff, we work closely alongside them.
It starts with a conversation about your operation and objectives. We then agree a defined scope — typically site visits, process analysis and a review of your data — and give you a clear, prioritised view of the opportunities, with outline costs and returns. Scope and fees are agreed up front.
We do. We can provide maintenance, servicing and support for the whole integrated system, coordinating with individual manufacturers where needed — so you have one partner to call.
