Robots that learn in simulation and work on the factory floor.

We design robotic cells, train their vision and motion in digital twins and bring them into production: from the first sketch to commissioning.

Footage: our simulations and shop-floor work
01

Simulation first

Every cell runs virtual shifts before it meets real hardware.

02

Data by design

Rendered and generated images, checked against real footage, train our models.

03

Edge-ready

Models run on compact computers on board, right next to the machine.

04

Built by machine builders

We design, wire and commission the hardware ourselves.

Flagship project

Bobbins that change themselves.

Braiding and rope machines stop whenever a bobbin runs empty. Our cell finds the empty bobbin, brings a full one and swaps it while the machine waits in its change position.

  • Detects low bobbins before the wire runs out
  • A mobile robot supplies full bobbins from the winder
  • A robot arm with vision swaps bobbins at the carrier

How we work

Simulate first. Then build.

  1. 01

    Understand

    We measure the process on site: parts, cycle times, shifts and the people around the machine.

  2. 02

    Model

    CAD and physics models of the machine, the robot and the hall become one digital twin.

  3. 03

    Train

    Vision models and robot skills learn in simulation, on synthetic and generated data.

  4. 04

    Validate

    We record real tests, check the annotations and feed relevant edge cases back into the twin.

  5. 05

    Deploy

    We commission the cell, connect it to the machine control and keep it improving.
