Robots on your production line, as a service.
Apprentice Labs deploys robots into manufacturing facilities to take on repetitive work. We supply, install and support the robot on one service agreement, so your team gets the output without running a capital project.
Deploying in Australian manufacturing facilities. Based in Sydney.
One agreement. Robot, deployment and support included.
Instead of buying a robot, finding an integrator and keeping it running yourself, you get a working robot cell on a service agreement. We stay responsible for keeping it productive.
Robot supplied
We select and supply a robot, gripper and tooling suited to the task on your line.
Deployed on your floor
Installation, integration with your existing equipment and safety setup, done by our team and commissioned with yours.
Run and supported
Ongoing monitoring, maintenance and adjustments as your products and production change.
How it works
Every deployment starts with one task or workstation, so you can judge the result before expanding to more of the floor.
Assess
We visit your site, look at the process you want automated, and confirm whether a robot is the right fit before anyone commits.
Deploy
We supply and install the robot, integrate it with your equipment, and commission it alongside your operators.
Run
The robot goes to work. We monitor, maintain and adjust it, and you pay for it as a service rather than as equipment.
Commercial terms, service levels and response times are agreed for each deployment during the assessment.
Work we automate
Repetitive, physical jobs that run shift after shift are where a robot earns its place. These are typical starting points we can scope with you.
Machine tending
Loading and unloading CNC machines, presses and other equipment, part after part.
Palletising and packing
Stacking cases, bags and product at the end of the line, and packing product into cartons.
Pick and place
Moving parts between stations, feeding assembly, kitting and sorting.
If your process is not on this list, tell us about it. Whether a robot suits it is decided in the site assessment, not from a catalogue.
Agreed with you before anything is installed
Each deployment is scoped in writing before the robot arrives, so there are no surprises on the floor or on the invoice.
- The task, its cycle target and the hand-off points with your existing equipment
- Robot, gripper and tooling selection for your parts and products
- Safety assessment and guarding for your site
- Training for the operators who will work alongside the robot
- Service terms: monitoring, maintenance, response times and what happens when your production changes
Why a service instead of a purchase
Buying a robot means capital, an integration project and the job of keeping it running, all before it produces anything. A service agreement turns that into a working robot and a predictable operating cost.
No capital project
The robot arrives as a service, not as an asset you have to fund, depreciate and own.
One party responsible
Supply, integration and support sit with us, so there is no gap between the vendor and the integrator.
Start small, expand when it works
Begin with one task. Add more stations once the first one is proving itself on your floor.
The work that is hardest to staff is the work a robot does best.
Repetitive, physical, shift after shift. That is where we start, so your people can move to the work that needs them.
I spent years in finance winning Australians' trust with their biggest decisions. Now I am putting robots to work on Australian factory floors.
