SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Robot Systems Integrator Selection Guide

Select a robot integrator using process expertise, controls architecture, functional safety, project governance, commissioning evidence and lifecycle support.

What to compare

Relevant process and industry references for comparable applications.
Controls, PLC, SCADA/MES, industrial network and cybersecurity capability.
Mechanical design, EOAT, vision, fixturing and machine-interface capability.
Documented safety engineering, risk assessment and validation process.
Project schedule, design reviews, FAT/SAT criteria and change-control discipline.
Source-code, backups, drawings, manuals, training and handover deliverables.
Warranty, remote support, site response, spare parts and post-ramp support.

Questions to answer before requesting quotes

Can you show a completed project with comparable process risk and cycle time?
Who signs off mechanical, controls and safety design reviews?
What source code and configuration files are transferred at handover?
How are scope changes priced and approved?
What support response is contractually available after production start?

Safety and engineering responsibility

Robot procurement must be evaluated as a complete application. Risk assessment, safeguarding, functional safety, operating procedures, maintenance conditions and site-specific legal requirements need competent engineering review.

Commercial independence

This guide is vendor-neutral. PROFENG may display an approved commercial partner after the analytical content with a clear disclosure. Partner status never changes the comparison criteria.
