HomeServices

Everything it takes to make automation work.

Engage us for the full journey or for the stage where you need help most. Either way, the services are designed to connect, so the thinking done in discovery carries through to commissioning and support.

S-01 / 07

Automation strategy

Understand where robotics can create value across a site or a network, and in what order to invest.

Lifecycle stages

What’s included

  • Site and multi-site discovery assessments
  • Opportunity mapping and prioritisation
  • Business case and ROI modelling
  • Automation roadmaps aligned to growth plans

When you’d need it

  • You’re being asked “should we automate?” by the board
  • You have several candidate processes and limited capital
  • You want an independent view before talking to suppliers
S-02 / 07

Solution design

Turn a promising opportunity into a concept that is technically sound, safe and commercially justified.

Lifecycle stages

What’s included

  • Cell layouts and material-flow design
  • Cycle-time, reach and payload studies
  • Safety concept and risk assessment approach
  • User requirement specifications (URS)

When you’d need it

  • You know what to automate but not how
  • You need a specification that suppliers can quote against
  • You want to test a concept before committing capital
S-03 / 07

Vendor selection & procurement

Select the right equipment across the market and buy it on the right terms, without being steered towards one portfolio.

Lifecycle stages

What’s included

  • Market scans across manufacturers
  • Tender management and bid evaluation
  • Lifecycle-cost and service-cover comparison
  • Trials, proofs of concept and supplier negotiation

When you’d need it

  • You’ve had proposals from resellers and can’t compare them
  • You need to justify a supplier choice to procurement
  • You want to avoid lock-in to a single brand
S-04 / 07

Systems integration

Engineer robots, tooling, vision, conveyors, safety and controls into a single system that works with your existing plant and software.

Lifecycle stages

What’s included

  • Mechanical, electrical and controls design
  • Robot, PLC and HMI programming
  • Vision and end-of-arm tooling integration
  • WMS, MES and ERP connectivity

When you’d need it

  • Your project involves more than one manufacturer
  • New equipment must work with existing lines and systems
  • You need one party responsible for the system working
S-05 / 07

Installation & commissioning

Install and bring systems into production with minimal disruption, and prove they perform as specified.

Lifecycle stages

What’s included

  • Installation planning around production
  • Contractor and site management
  • Commissioning, FAT and SAT
  • Operator and maintenance training, supported ramp-up

When you’d need it

  • You have a narrow shutdown window
  • Previous installs have dragged on during ramp-up
  • You need documented performance sign-off
S-06 / 07

Project management

Run automation projects with the discipline of a capital programme: scope, cost, risk, programme and stakeholders.

Lifecycle stages

What’s included

  • Programme planning and stage gates
  • Budget and change control
  • Risk and interface management
  • Clear reporting to operations and finance

When you’d need it

  • You don’t have in-house automation project capacity
  • Multiple suppliers need coordinating
  • The project is visible at board level
S-07 / 07

Support, maintenance & optimisation

Keep systems available and improving across their lifecycle, whoever manufactured them.

Lifecycle stages

What’s included

  • Preventive maintenance and health checks
  • Diagnostics, repairs and spares planning
  • Performance reviews against the business case
  • Optimisation, retooling and expansion

When you’d need it

  • You have mixed-brand equipment and multiple service contracts
  • Performance has drifted since commissioning
  • You want to grow from one cell to several
