I write for Relling on how manufacturers choose an integrator, and what a robotic cell really costs once it is installed.

About the author

Relling exists to close a specific gap. Robot arms have been good enough for high-mix work for years, but the cost of making one useful on a real floor, with real part variation and real changeover, stayed high enough that most American shops could never justify it. The hardware was never the bottleneck. The deployment was.

What I write here comes out of that work, and I try to keep it checkable. Every figure carries a numbered source, and when a number is an estimate, an analyst projection, or our own arithmetic on somebody else's data rather than a measurement, the post says so. If you find something wrong, tell me and it gets fixed on the page with the change noted.

What I write about

  • How to compare integrators when every one of them quotes a different scope.
  • Total installed cost, and the line items that quotes leave out.
  • What to put in a contract before a purchase order goes out.
