Robotics integration provider: A live fleet in 8 weeks

The robotics market is fragmented. Hundreds of manufacturers (OEMs) offer specialized hardware, but very few solutions are factory-ready for complex environments such as nursing homes, hotels or logistics centers. This is where werob’s role as a system integrator comes into play. We are not a robot manufacturer or a classic reseller. werob is the operational level that converts hardware from different providers such as Boston Dynamics, Keenon or Unitree into a functioning overall process.

A professional robotics integration provider solves three core problems: selecting the right hardware from a confusing global offering, the technical connection to existing systems such as SAP EWM or Opera PMS and compliance with strict regulatory requirements. Without this integration service, robots often remain expensive isolated solutions with no real ROI. werob, on the other hand, guarantees operational readiness within eight weeks. We rely on a catalog of over 44 OEM partners and 280 maneuverable robot models in order to find the exact solution for your specific requirements.

Our way of working is based on a four-tier platform architecture that covers the entire life cycle of a robotics fleet. It starts with the Spec Engine. Within just 48 hours, we translate your oral or written workflow descriptions into a precise, usable robot specification. This system was trained on over 35,000 projects and eliminates the usual three to six month discovery phases of classic consulting firms.

The second level is the supplier match. Here our system ranks over 44 OEMs against your individual specification. We are hardware-agnostic, meaning we are not tied to one manufacturer but choose the objectively best solution for your location. The third level is our connectors. These are pre-built integrations into your existing software stack, such as PointClickCare, MatrixCare or Mews. The conclusion is the cockpit. This live fleet management system monitors the hardware, infrastructure and regulatory parameters in real time via a four-dimensional traffic light system. This is how we ensure that your fleet not only starts, but also performs over the long term.

Robotics must be economically viable. As a system integrator, we focus on the outcome, i.e. the result at the location. In the care industry, for example, we achieve an annual cost reduction of 92,000 euros per location simply by automating the medication round. Transporting laundry or waste saves a further 71,000 euros per year. These numbers are not estimates, but are based on live data from our customers such as Korian Germany.

In the hotel industry, the potential is often even higher. A room service robot saves staff by 112,000 euros per year, while automating bar and breakfast preparation saves around 54,000 euros. The effects are also clear in the area of ​​facility management and security. An automated yard patrol in logistics results in a relief of 68,000 euros annually. werob offers an outcome-only commercial model: you only pay when the robot actually runs and completes the specified task. This completely takes the technological risk off your shoulders and shifts it to us as the integrator.

An often underestimated aspect when introducing robotics is legal compliance. From January 20, 2027, the new EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 will be binding. Many Asian OEMs currently do not have the necessary conformity assessments for the European market. werob acts as your compliance path here. We ensure that every hardware and every software integration used complies with European safety standards.

This includes not only the machine regulations, but also specific standards such as ISO 13482 for service robots in the direct human environment or the guarding regulations (BewachVO) for security robots. In sensitive areas such as care, we also coordinate with the home supervision. Our cockpit continuously monitors whether all regulatory parameters are being met. In this way, we offer you legal certainty in a rapidly changing regulatory environment and protect your investments from shutdowns by authorities in the long term.

A robot that doesn't talk to your software is a burden, not a relief. werob therefore does not deliver isolated hardware, but rather fully integrated systems. Our connectors enable direct communication between the robots and your core systems. In the healthcare sector we integrate with PointClickCare and MatrixCare, in the hotel industry with Opera PMS or Mews and in the food & beverage sector with systems such as Toast or Lightspeed.

For logistics and industry we offer deep integrations into SAP EWM. In concrete terms, this means: When an order is generated in the SAP system, the robot immediately knows which pallet it has to move where, without the intervention of a human operator. This interoperability is the core of our service as a system integrator. We ensure that the data flows and the robots become part of your digital ecosystem. This reduces sources of error and massively increases the speed of the processes.

Our onboarding process is optimized for speed and operational clarity. It starts with a simple query: Who are you and what shift process do you want to automate? You will receive a detailed specification from our Spec Engine within 48 hours. After another five days you will receive a concrete offer. As soon as you decide on the solution, the eight-week implementation phase begins.

During this time we prepare the infrastructure, configure the connectors and carry out the necessary compliance checks. After eight weeks, the robot will be in use on your site. Our model is consistently focused on results. Because we work hardware-agnostic, we can react flexibly to delivery bottlenecks from individual manufacturers and always choose the fastest available option that meets your requirements. With werob you choose a partner who breaks down the complexity of robotics for you and transforms it into measurable operational successes.

Buying directly from a robot manufacturer (OEM) often seems like the cheapest route, but it involves significant risks and hidden costs. An OEM only offers its own hardware, which leads to vendor lock-in. werob, on the other hand, compares over 44 OEMs and selects the objectively best hardware for your specific application. While an OEM often only supplies the hardware, werob takes care of the entire integration into your IT systems and ensures compliance with the EU Machinery Regulation.

After successful integration, the phase of permanent operation begins. This is where the werob cockpit comes into play. It serves as a central control unit for your entire robot fleet, regardless of how many different manufacturers you use. The cockpit provides a four-dimensional traffic light system that monitors the status of hardware, local infrastructure (such as Wi-Fi or elevators), regulatory compliance and task performance.

If a robot is unable to perform a task as specified, the system reports this immediately, even before there are major delays in operations. This proactive monitoring is essential for companies that use robotics in critical processes. As your system integrator, we remain at your side even after installation and ensure that the fleet can be scaled. Our goal for 2028 is to operate 2,000 robots, which will allow us to continually incorporate best practices across different industries into our platform.

The decision for the right robotics integration provider is a strategic decision. It's not about buying a machine, but rather automating a process. werob offers you the security of an experienced partner who has already successfully brought over 200 robots into operation. Through our hardware agnostics, deep software integration and clear focus on regulatory compliance, we minimize your risk and maximize your ROI.

Whether in care to relieve the burden on specialist staff, in the hotel industry to increase service quality or in logistics to increase efficiency: automation is tangible today and can be implemented within eight weeks. Use our Spec Engine to get clarity about your potential within 48 hours. The path to the automated future begins with a precise specification and a partner who is liable for the result.
