ROBOTICOM: Offering Unconventional Robotic Solutions

ROBOTICOM’s broad range of clientele includes companies from the automotive, transportation and aerospace industry. As ROBOTICOM offers industrial process automation and multipurpose solutions, clients have the liberty to automate processes on irregular shapes, conventionally done manually, with robotic systems for sanding, polishing, deburring, milling, trimming, drilling, cutting and bonding. Since sanding and polishing releases, a lot of powder, workers avoid performing these processes due to health issues. Against this background, ROBOTICOM has developed specific tools, and by means of powerful robot programming software ARPP®, the tools are automatically controlled by the robot. The ARPP® software technology truly defines the unique value proposition of the company and sets them apart from the rest of the players in the marketplace. This robot simulator is designed by the efficient team members of ROBOTICOM, that allows the clients to entirely manage the robot without the use of any additional software and with internal workforce well trained by them. Catering to the requirements of businesses has been possible by ROBOTICOM as it keeps itself abreast with the ongoing trends. Many companies no longer have a rigid machine that can work for 24 hours and deliver long batches of products. Instead, small batches of products can be produced by utilising robotic systems by changing the programme and tool frequently. This will also render a certain amount of flexibility, reduce the workforce, and add value to the whole operation. The company has three primary robotics systems, ORTIS for 3D milling in orthopaedic, ScultoRob for 3D milling in the artistic field and prototyping, and SandRob. Out of these three cutting-edge robotic systems, SandRob stands out as the most advance system and most-requested solution in the last few years. SandRob is one of the only robotic solutions solving the needs of all surface finishing processes. Starting from sanding to polishing, and trimming of complex shapes at any scale or size. A force feedback system integrated within each tool allows to precisely control the force exercised on the treated surface, to achieve different results on the same workpiece. In contrast, the speed control is monitored continuously using the software. “We develop and patent everything internally, be it tools or special tools. We also have a subsidiary in the USA, and hold similar connections around the world like Canada, China, and Europe,” asserts Bertolaccini.

As the world is currently going through a significant crisis, and the work culture is majorly being dependent on technology, businesses are showing greater interest in automation. This crisis has not disrupted the workflow of ROBOTICOM, rather businesses who were in good shape prior to the pandemic are approaching ROBOTICOM. Besides, there are some financial incentives for upgrading to industry 4.0, and this pandemic is pushing businesses to invest in automating these specific operations like sanding, grinding and so on because there can be a shortage of workforce due to the current scenarios.

With such overarching offerings, ROBOTICOM marches along with a target of delivering more than 50 robots by next year. The company is also focused on increasing its business all around the world supported by partnership agreement and being the go-to choice for every other company looking for automation solutions.
