ZhilianhaiSelecting a Robot Integrator
What to examine
| Area | Questions |
|---|---|
| Process knowledge | Have they automated this process before |
| Engineering depth | In-house mechanical, electrical and software skills |
| Project management | Named manager and reporting routine |
| Safety competence | Who signs off the risk assessment |
| After-sales | Response time and spares arrangement |
Warning signs
- A design that is finalised before the site is surveyed.
- No named project manager, only a sales contact.
- Reluctance to show a similar installation.
Integrator selection is a commercial decision. Take references for comparable work, not for the largest project they have done.
