Agility Digit in Europe: The Path via the Systems Integrator werob

Procuring a humanoid robot such as Agility Digit often poses a hurdle for European companies, as the gap between hardware provision by the OEM and operational integration in the plant is large. werob acts here as the decisive systems integrator. We are not a robot manufacturer and not a classic reseller. Our task is to translate an operator's workflow into a technical specification that is ready for use within 48 hours.

In practice this means: when a logistics manager identifies the need for automated depalletizing or container movement, werob does not simply deliver a machine. We use our Spec Engine, which was trained on data from more than 35,000 projects, to map the workflow precisely. In doing so, Agility Digit is ranked against 44 other OEM partners to ensure that the hardware is genuinely the best solution for the specific task. This hardware-agnostic approach prevents vendor lock-in and places operational performance in the foreground.

A critical aspect for the use of Agility Digit in Europe is the regulatory landscape. From 20 January 2027, the new EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 becomes binding. For operators this means they are fully liable for the safety and conformity of the deployed systems. Especially with US-American or Asian OEMs, the adaptation to these European standards is often complex.

werob offers the integrated compliance path here. We carry out the necessary conformity assessments and ensure that the use of Agility Digit complies with local safety requirements. This includes not only physical safety in the sense of ISO 13482 for human-robot collaboration but also cybersecurity according to IEC 62443. Without this regulatory safeguarding, companies risk costly shutdowns by the market surveillance authorities. werob integrates these examination processes directly into the eight-week implementation phase.

A robot that does not communicate with the warehouse management system (WMS) or the ERP remains an expensive toy. werob solves this problem through pre-built connectors. For the use of Agility Digit in logistics, this means a direct connection to SAP EWM or other common systems. This integration allows transport orders to be handed over to the robot fleet in real time without individual programming being required on site.

This connectivity extends across various industries. While SAP EWM dominates in logistics, in other verticals we use integrations into PointClickCare, MatrixCare, or Opera PMS. The advantage for the operator lies in the speed: instead of months-long IT projects, our connectors enable commissioning within a few days after physical delivery. The werob Cockpit serves as the central control unit that monitors the status of the hardware, the infrastructure, and the regulatory parameters in a four-dimensional traffic-light system.

The use of humanoid robots is often dismissed as a thing of the future, yet the figures tell a different story. In logistics, our implementations achieve verified cost relief of €68,000 per year for tasks such as the yard patrol, or €71,000 in the area of transport and container management. These savings are based on real deployment data and not on theoretical models.

werob's commercial model is consistently geared toward success: outcome-only. This means you only pay once the robot is actually in productive use. There are no hidden list prices or high upfront investments for feasibility studies. Our goal is to operate a fleet of 2,000 robots in Europe by 2028. Currently, 200 units are already in live operation across 11 countries, which underscores the scalability of our approach.

As part of our Supplier Match, we compare Agility Digit with other leading systems. The following table gives an overview of the positioning in the werob catalog:

The choice of the right model depends on the specific specification, which we create in the first 48 hours of the project. Agility Digit stands out in particular for its mobility on uneven terrain and its ability to operate in confined logistics environments.

The process at werob is optimized for maximum speed. While classic consulting firms often need three to six months for the discovery phase, we deliver a binding quote within five days. The entire path from the first contact to the robot on the floor takes only eight weeks.

This process begins with an eight-stage onboarding intake in which we query the shift schedules, the on-site infrastructure, and the specific tasks. Once the Spec Engine has validated the workflow, the Supplier Match takes place. After selecting the hardware and configuring the connectors, the system is integrated into the werob Cockpit. This structured sequence ensures that all regulatory and technical hurdles are already cleared before delivery.

As soon as Agility Digit is deployed, the werob Cockpit takes over monitoring. This is not a simple dashboard but an active fleet management tool. It monitors four critical dimensions: hardware health, infrastructure stability (e.g. Wi-Fi coverage), regulatory compliance, and adherence to the original specification.

Should a robot deviate from its defined action graph or a safety certificate expire, the system raises the alarm immediately. This is especially important for companies operating multiple sites in different European countries. werob is currently operationally active in 11 countries, including Germany, France, Italy, and Poland. The Cockpit enables central control across national borders and ensures that the operational performance at each site corresponds to the agreed metrics.

The integration of Agility Digit into European operations has become plannable and low-risk thanks to werob. Through the combination of automated specification, in-depth IT integration, and strict compliance with EU regulation, we offer a turnkey path to automation. The outcome-only model ensures that the interests of werob and the operator are fully aligned: we earn only when your processes are running.

For companies in logistics, care, or facility management, the time has now come to set the course for 2027. The requirements of the new Machinery Regulation will change the market. With werob as a partner, you use the world's most advanced robotics without getting lost in the technical or regulatory complexity.
