Industrial robotics : customized integration
Industrial robotics enables complex operations to be automated and product quality to be improved. Well-executed robotic integration increases production rates while making the working environment safer. In an increasingly competitive environment, industrial robotization is becoming a strategic choice. With over 15 years of experience, particularly in the heat treatment, semiconductor, and solar sectors, we have mastered the technical constraints associated with handling heavy loads, managing high speeds, and moving fragile parts.
Industrial robotics
integrator : our expertise.
Our expertise enables turnkey implementation: from needs analysis to commissioning of complete robotic cells integrated into your existing equipment. The success of an industrial robotics project depends largely on the quality of its integration. The entire robotic cell, its environment, its interfaces, and its control intelligence, which guarantee overall performance, must be taken into account.
At ECM Robotics, we act as an integrator at every stage of the project. We analyze your technical constraints and performance objectives to design a solution tailored to your industry. Our teams handle mechanical and electrical design, software development, industrial robot integration, and on-site commissioning.

Our industrial
robotics solutions.
Industrial vision and
robotic quality control.
Opting for machine vision systems improves precision and handling in order to optimize pick & place, palletizing, bulk unloading, and assembly.
Our robotic solutions incorporate a vision system that recognizes parts, locates them, and checks their integrity or surfaces. Thanks to this system and AI, our robots can instantly check and correct the positioning angle of a part before it is moved or loaded into a machine.
With over 15 years of experience in integrating 2D and 3D machine vision systems, we bring greater flexibility to the robotic cell by identifying an unlimited number of different parts and references.
Robotic handling
end-effectors and conveyors.
Over the years, our expertise in end-effector development has enabled us to adapt our technologies to a wide range of industries. From handling light and fragile loads such as small watch parts or wafers to handling heavy loads such as automotive parts weighing up to 1,000 kg. High precision, high speed, heavy loads; we meet your production constraints in order to optimize your logistics flow. Our robots are capable of offering handling and transfer techniques adapted to the different needs of our customers:
- Adaptation to the geometry of the parts being handled
- In-house development of grippers (some of which are patented)
- Automated magnetic changers
- Custom conveyors
The development of end-effectors is an integral part of our business. We integrate pneumatic, magnetic, electrical, and vacuum technologies to best adapt our automated solution to your parts and needs. Our 3D printer allows us to quickly produce prototypes using additive manufacturing and to be responsive during the design and testing phase of your project.
Autonomous Mobile Robots
AMR.
The integration of AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots) systems removes several constraints. Their use has become a necessity in certain installations, increasing the autonomy of the robotic cell and the productivity of your production line. The various sensors ensure complete integration into the environment with increased safety.
Our AMR robots, with a load capacity of over one ton, can move your loads completely autonomously to a given destination. Capable of receiving and managing a large amount of information, our robots can organize their tasks according to priorities and their remaining autonomy.
We can customize AMRs by incorporating high value-added functions (automation, robotics, storage systems specifically adapted to your parts or containers).
Our robots allow you to reimagine the layout of your workshop and gain a new perspective by connecting different production islands. We can provide a scalable fleet of AMRs to meet your changing needs.
Depending on your requirements, we can recommend and configure dedicated or multi-brand fleet management software.

FAQ
Industrial Robotics.
What is the role of a robotics integrator ?
A robotics integrator designs and assembles all the components of a robotic cell to create a coherent, high-performance solution tailored to the specific needs of an industrial manufacturer.
What are the different types of industrial robots ?
These include articulated robots, Cartesian robots, collaborative robots, and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), each designed for specific uses.
Which brands of robots and vision systems can you integrate ?
We are constantly searching for the best industrial robotics components available.
Among our suppliers, we regularly integrate ABB, Fanuc, Staubli, and Kuka robots, as well as Keyence, Sensopart, and Cognex vision systems. Siemens or Schneider Electric controllers are mainly used in our customers' projects. We also work with suppliers that you have already qualified.
Can I see some client cases ?
Yes, via our YouTube channel on industrial robotics.
Depending on the projects and geographical constraints, we can also sometimes take you to customer sites to see our achievements.
We also offer to create a 3D digital twin during the project phase, which allows you to visualize the cell and check the movements of the robots within it.
Do you run simulations before installation ?
Yes, all our projects are simulated in 3D. This helps to avoid programming or movement errors and allows the customer to approve the cell design.
How do you protect human operators ?
The cells are equipped with physical or immaterial barriers to ensure operator safety and safe cooperation with robots. We also add human safety radars to ensure that no operators are present in the cell during operation.
