Robot Integrator Munich: Automation in eight weeks

In a highly dynamic business location like Munich, companies are faced with the challenge of meeting the shortage of skilled workers with technological solutions. A robot integrator takes on a central function that goes far beyond the mere sale of hardware. While robot manufacturers (Original Equipment Manufacturers, or OEMs) optimize their specific devices, werob focuses on operationally embedding this technology into your existing operations. Without the appropriate software connection and process coordination, a single robot is simply an isolated tool.

werob acts as the operational level that translates the everyday work of a hotel, a nursing home or a logistics center into a technical specification. We are not a single OEM reseller or a classic consulting firm with lengthy discovery phases. Our approach is purely operationally driven. We validate which hardware is best suited for your specific requirements in Munich and ensure that it communicates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure. This significantly reduces the implementation risk and accelerates the return on investment.

The complexity of robotics requires expert knowledge in the areas of sensors, navigation, IT security and regulation. A specialized integrator like werob bundles these skills and offers you a central contact for the entire fleet, regardless of whether you use humanoid robots from Apptronik or service robots from Keenon. In Munich companies, this ensures standardization of automation, which often cannot be achieved internally.

One of the biggest obstacles to adopting robotics is months-long planning cycles. Traditional consulting approaches often require three to six months to analyze a process and make a recommendation. werob breaks this pattern with the Spec Engine. This tool has been trained on over 35,000 projects and is able to translate your verbally described workflows into a usable robot specification within just 48 hours.

Whether it's the medication round in a care facility or room service in a Munich hotel, the Spec Engine records the critical parameters such as floor conditions, door passages, elevator controls and interaction points. The result is a technical specification that serves as the basis for selecting the hardware. This speed is crucial in order to solve operational bottlenecks promptly and not get stuck in theoretical planning phases.

By using the Spec Engine, we eliminate the risk of bad purchases. Instead of relying on a single manufacturer's marketing promise, the specification is based on real performance data and requirements of your site. This is the first step in our promise to have a robot productive on your site within eight weeks. In Munich, where time is a critical cost factor, this automated planning process offers a significant competitive advantage.

A decisive advantage of working with werob as a robot integrator in Munich is our hardware agnosticism. We are not tied to a single manufacturer. Our catalog includes over 44 verified OEM partners and more than 280 different robot models. These include leading names such as Boston Dynamics, Unitree, Pudu, Bear Robotics and Neura Robotics as well as specialists for humanoid systems such as Apptronik or Figure AI.

After the Spec Engine has defined your requirements, our Supplier Match carries out a ranking. All available robots are checked against their specifications. We select the hardware that best suits your case technically and economically. A hotel in downtown Munich has different requirements for a robot's navigation and aesthetics than a logistics center in the surrounding area. Through our manufacturer-independent approach, we avoid vendor lock-in and ensure that you always receive the most powerful technology.

This diversity allows us to also map complex multi-robot scenarios. In a facility, for example, cleaning robots from Ecovacs can operate in parallel with transport robots from Keenon, while the werob cockpit takes over the central control. For Munich operators, this means maximum flexibility with minimal integration effort, as the complexity of the various manufacturer interfaces is resolved in the background.

A robot only realizes its full value when it communicates with the systems that control your operation. werob offers prefabricated connectors into the most common software stacks in the industry. For logistics in Munich, this means a direct connection to SAP EWM. In the hotel industry, we integrate robots into PMS solutions such as Opera or Mews, and in the care sector we use interfaces to PointClickCare or MatrixCare.

This integration enables automated workflows without manual intervention. For example, if a guest in a hotel orders an additional pillow via the system, the robot receives this order directly from the PMS, drives to the warehouse, is loaded and delivers the goods to the room, including controlling the elevator. Without these connectors, an employee would have to program the robot manually, which would negate the efficiency advantage.

Our connectors also cover the F&B area with systems such as Toast or Lightspeed, as well as security platforms such as Genetec. This deep integration turns the robot into a digital employee that returns data in real time. This enables complete documentation and analysis of performance, which is particularly essential for optimizing shift schedules and resources in Munich companies.

Legal security when using robotics is an often underestimated factor. From January 20, 2027, the new EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 will be binding. This regulation places significantly higher requirements on conformity assessment, particularly for machines with self-learning systems or autonomous navigation. werob offers the integrated compliance path for this.

As your integrator in Munich, we ensure that all systems used comply with current and future EU standards. This includes not only the machine regulations, but also specific standards such as ISO 13482 for personal assistance robots, which is particularly relevant in care. We carry out the necessary risk assessments and ensure that the documentation meets the requirements of home supervision or professional associations.

We also take aspects of cybersecurity into account in accordance with IEC 62443 and data protection in accordance with the GDPR. Since robots use cameras and sensors to record their surroundings, legally compliant data management is essential. werob acts as a protective shield for the operator and ensures that the entire fleet is operated in a compliant manner. In a regulatory demanding environment like Germany, this is a basic requirement for the long-term success of any automation strategy.

Automation has to pay off. werob focuses on measurable results instead of vague promises. We have already achieved significant cost reductions in Munich operations. A central example is the medication round in care, which enables relief of €92,000 per location and year. By taking on transport tasks in care facilities, a further €71,000 can be saved.

The potential is even clearer in the hotel industry. A room service robot can achieve a cost offset of €112,000 per year, while assisting with bar and breakfast preparation saves around €54,000. These numbers are based on real operational data and take into account the reduction of unproductive staff time. In logistics, an autonomous yard patrol provides relief of €68,000, while in the F&B area, a tray bot in the dishwashing chamber offsets up to €76,000 in costs per year.

These savings enable companies in Munich to remain competitive despite rising wage costs and staff shortages. Since werob works according to an outcome-only model, you only pay when the robot actually runs and delivers the promised performance.

After successful integration, continuous operation is crucial. The werob Cockpit is the central control unit for your entire robot fleet in Munich. It offers a four-dimensional traffic light system that monitors the status of hardware, infrastructure (such as WiFi and charging stations), regulations and compliance with the original specification in real time.

If a robot stops due to a blocked path or a technical defect, the cockpit reports this immediately. This allows for a quick response, often before operations are disrupted. The system also collects performance data that can be used to continuously optimize processes. You can see at a glance how many kilometers your fleet has traveled, how many orders have been successfully completed and where there is still potential for optimization.

The cockpit is designed to be hardware-agnostic. This means you can manage robots from different manufacturers in a single interface. This massively reduces the training effort for your staff in Munich, as they do not have to work with multiple manufacturer-specific apps. The transparency that the werob Cockpit offers is the basis for a scalable robotics strategy across multiple locations.

werob differs from classic providers through a radically customer-oriented business model. We follow an outcomes-only approach. This means for you as an operator in Munich: You pay nothing until the robot is running productively in your company. We avoid hidden consulting fees or high upfront investments for feasibility studies. Our goal is successful live operation.

This model shifts the risk from you as a customer to us as an integrator. We are highly motivated to select the most suitable hardware and complete the integration as quickly as possible. Our promise is clearly defined: 48 hours to specification, five days to offer and eight weeks to have the robot in use. In an industry that is often characterized by delays, we are setting a new standard for reliability.

By forgoing list prices and concentrating on actual output, we offer a commercial structure that is directly geared to your economic success. This makes robotics accessible to medium-sized companies in Munich that have previously shied away from the high entry hurdles and technical complexity.

The path to an automated fleet with werob follows a structured eight-step process. Everything starts with recording your requirements. We analyze the shifts, the tasks and the spatial conditions at your location in Munich. Thanks to the Spec Engine, this step is extremely quick and precise. As soon as the specification is in place, we select the optimal hardware via Supplier Match.

In parallel with the hardware procurement, our technicians prepare the connectors. The integration into your IT stack takes place according to standardized protocols, which minimizes the susceptibility to errors. During the eight-week phase, we also take care of all regulatory aspects so that the robot can be used in a legally compliant manner on the day it goes into operation. We carry out tests on site, train your staff and ensure that the interaction between man and machine works smoothly.

After eight weeks, the robot is firmly integrated into your everyday operations. From this point on, the werob cockpit takes over the monitoring. This accelerated path enables Munich companies to react to market changes or personnel bottlenecks at very short notice. werob is your partner who breaks down the complexity of robotics and provides you with a turnkey solution that offers added value from day one.
