Top things to consider when selecting a robotic integrator
- Is the Company Credible?
Your integrator’s reputation and track record are critical. Make sure the robotic integration company is highly experienced and has industry and association memberships. - Does the Company Understand Your Business?
Your integrator should have extensive design, build and installation experience, with hands-on expertise developing robotic systems integration in your application. A top-flight integrator helps you find solutions that improve all aspects of your operation. - Who Will Keep You Updated on System Progress?
Keeping you informed at every step is vital for a successful integration. The best integrators offer a designated project manager to supervise all aspects of the project, including the scope of work, team transitions, internal and customer run-offs. - How Good Is Their Service?
You should expect your integrator to have trained technicians for your service needs and have a strong reputation. Our emergency service is available 24/7 with a 1 hour call back. Consider how many service engineers are available and whether service consists of on-site repairs only or also includes process improvement, preventive maintenance and remote troubleshooting. - Are You Buying the Right System for Your Application?
Your robotic integrator should explain the system features and how everything will work together to deliver the best results. - How Transparent and Precise Is the Quotation?
A trustworthy integrator will include and detail everything in the quotation, including responsibility areas and timetables. - Is the System Safe?
Ensure that the system meets industry and your own company’s safety standards. The integrator should offer safety audits to accommodate any special requirements. Being a certified integrator with an RIA certification is ideal. - Can You Get Spare Parts When Needed?
An integrator should stock spare parts so that you can receive them quickly, including ordering availability 24/7. - Is Training Provided?
Your integrator should provide training to your employees once the system is in place, along with ongoing training, support and maintenance. - Can You Rely on the Company Year In and Year Out?
The best robot integrator choice has the financial strength and longevity to stand by your side as a long-term strategic partner. This may not necessarily be the cheapest solution upfront, but it delivers far greater value over time.
