Project intake for robotics integrators

Robotics project intake should give an integrator enough context to assess the application and identify what needs engineering review. A form can organize early information, but it cannot determine feasibility without technical judgment.

Describe the application and workpiece

Ask what task the robot would perform, what part or material it handles, the current process, and the expected operating pattern. Request available cycle or throughput goals as estimates when they are not yet validated.

Capture variations in part geometry, presentation, orientation, and changeover needs. These factors can materially affect whether a concept is suitable for automation.

Record environment and interfaces

Collect information about floor space, access, utilities, existing lines, upstream and downstream equipment, and the operating environment. Ask which constraints are confirmed and which need a site assessment.

Collect safety and compliance requirements as inputs for qualified review, not as a self-certification question. Preserve the source of each critical statement.

Make the next engineering action visible

Attach drawings, images, cycle data, and process documents to the request. Assign an engineering owner and track whether the next step is clarification, concept review, a site visit, or estimation.

Keep customer-facing status understandable and avoid exposing internal design notes or commercially sensitive assessments.

A clear first step

Define the right project before committing to a build.

Start with a 15-minute conversation about the process, the people involved, and where work gets stuck. If a deeper assessment is useful, we can scope a discovery engagement around the decisions you need to make.

  1. 01

    Map the workflow

    Identify users, current tools, handoffs, exceptions, and the result the business needs.

  2. 02

    Choose the right approach

    Compare improving existing tools, connecting systems, and building a focused application.

  3. 03

    Define a useful first release

    Agree priorities, integrations, acceptance criteria, and what can wait.

  4. 04

    Make an informed decision

    Review proposed scope, cost drivers, delivery stages, and ongoing responsibilities before authorizing development.

Discovery scope, fees, and timing are agreed separately. An initial conversation does not commit you to a development project.
