Improving Quality Control with Internally Produced Robots

At Exotec^®, we produce our autonomous mobile robots in-house. These robots are not just any part of our system, they are the central mobile component of our Skypod^® system, and they play a vital role in moving stock around the warehouse, which is key to successful order fulfillment. That’s why we don’t outsource their production. On the contrary, we devote a great deal of effort, care and rigorous quality control to their creation in our own facilities. Let’s take a look at three significant advantages our customers enjoy because we manufacture our robots in-house.

Quality control

By controlling the entire manufacturing process, from design to assembly, we are able to guarantee that our robots meet the highest standards of quality and performance. We live by our motto “Almost Pass is Fail” and never compromise on quality. Each of our robots must pass each stage of a rigorous series of test cycles with a 100% pass score before it can be deployed on our customers’ sites.

We apply this commitment to excellence to every component of our customers’ systems, as we meticulously simulate each one to ensure that it is capable of achieving the targeted performance. This enables us to provide a contractual guarantee of 98% uptime for each of our customers’ systems, so that they can rely on their performance day after day.

On schedule

It’s essential to ensure that your warehouse solution is delivered on time. By manufacturing our robots in-house, we retain greater control over our supply chain, giving you greater control over yours. This applies not only to robots purchased during the initial installation of your system, but also to those leased to meet demand during seasonal peaks, or purchased to meet long-term business growth.

A reliable partnership

Notre capacité à fabriquer les robots de notre système en interne nous donne l’avantage d’être très adaptables et réactifs aux retours de nos clients, ce qui nous permet d’apporter des mises à jour au système en fonction de leurs besoins. Lorsque les fournisseurs de solutions d’exécution des commandes externalisent les composants les plus cruciaux de leurs systèmes, il peut en résulter des ruptures de communication entre les fournisseurs de solutions robotiques pour entrepôts, leurs propres fournisseurs et les clients. Cela peut avoir un impact négatif sur la qualité du produit et l’efficacité à répondre aux besoins du client. En évitant ce type d’externalisation, nous fournissons systématiquement des solutions qui répondent aux besoins de nos clients, aujourd’hui et dans la perspective d’un avenir de plus en plus imprévisible.
