Robotics engineering for industrial deployment

Humanoid robotics and mobile manipulation for production and factory logistics.

We identify suitable tasks, test hardware fit and develop robust production pilots—vendor-independent and with clear go/no-go criteria.

Based near Kaiserslautern with short travel times across southwestern Germany and the Rhine-Neckar region—for projects throughout the DACH market.

The decision before the robot

A successful pilot starts with the use case.

An impressive demonstration is not yet a useful industrial system. Before capital is committed, the task needs a technical, operational and commercial case.

01

Which task creates enough value?

Start with measurable operational pain, not a technology mandate.

02

Is a humanoid the right architecture?

Compare humanoids against mobile manipulators, cobots, AMRs and fixed automation.

03

What autonomy is realistic?

Define teleoperation, demonstration data, failure recovery and human intervention explicitly.

04

How does it enter production?

Plan interfaces, safety, cybersecurity, acceptance tests, support and operating ownership before deployment.

Choose by buying stage

One clear next step for where you are now.

01 / Discover

Brownfield Robotics Assessment

Rank production and intralogistics tasks and identify the right robotics architecture and next experiment.

02 / Test

Humanoid Hardware-Fit-Test

Test one defined task with rented humanoid hardware and receive measured go/no-go evidence.

03 / Validate in production

Production Pilot

Integrate a hardware-fit-tested task and validate it against defined KPIs and an acceptance test.

Delivery architecture

Assess. Test. Validate and scale.

Each stage earns the right to make the next, larger commitment.

01 / Assess

Select the right problem

Rank brownfield tasks and compare the suitable automation architectures before choosing hardware.

02 / Test

Establish physical fit

Measure one task with real humanoid hardware and make the remaining risks explicit.

03 / Pilot + Scale

Prove useful operation

Integrate and validate the tested task before expanding capabilities, sites and fleet operations.

Promising first applications

Flexible work in human-designed factories.

Humanoids are most credible where mobility and manipulation must coexist, task variation is meaningful, and redesigning the entire environment is uneconomic.

Handling / High mix

Kitting and parts handling

Variable parts and human-scale fixtures where a fixed cell may be too inflexible.

Mobility / Brownfield

Line-side replenishment

Move totes, kits and components between existing workstations without rebuilding the facility.

Interaction / Equipment

Machine loading

Serve several human-operated machines with controlled loading, unloading and recovery.

Sensing / Mobile

Inspection and data capture

Collect visual, thermal or acoustic evidence across changing industrial environments.

Engineering capabilities

The technical stack between concept and production.

01

Robotics engineering

02

Physical AI

Teleoperation, demonstration capture, imitation learning, model adaptation and evaluation.

03

Simulation + validation

Digital twins, Isaac Sim, reach analysis, synthetic data, cycle-time and failure testing.

04

Industrial deployment

PLCs, MES/WMS, networks, safety engineering, cybersecurity, commissioning and support.

Built for the whole buying group

Technical feasibility is only one approval.

Throughput, disruption, staffing and recovery.

Engineering

Technical fit, interfaces and maintainability.

Finance

Capital, operating cost, scenarios and risk.

Safety

Hazards, operating modes and conformity pathway.

IT / OT

Network boundaries, access, logging and updates.

Leadership

Operational value, strategic learning and scale.

Evidence of industrial delivery

Published AI automation case studyMüller Präzisionswerkzeuge

How Müller Präzisionswerkzeuge Reduced Order-to-Delivery Time by 20% with AI-Driven Report Management from SchmidtFactories

20% faster order-to-delivery throughput
“The implementation of SchmidtFactories has significantly accelerated our internal processes. Our sales team saves valuable time every day on documentation, while engineering and support can access complete information much faster. What mattered most to us was improving speed without adding organizational complexity. The 20% reduction in throughput time clearly demonstrates the value.”
