Scope of Work in Industrial Automation
Complete engineering scope from concept development and simulation to robot integration, software engineering and system commissioning.
Workflow Analysis & 3D Simulation
Concepts are validated and optimized before implementation. This reduces project risk and confirms performance before any hardware is bui
Robot & AGV Integration
End-to-end integration of industrial robots and AGVs into existing or new manufacturing environments. Brownfield and greenfield.
Custom Gripper Development
Purpose-built end effectors designed for specific parts, payloads, and processes. Multi-tool configurations reduce changeover time.
Vision, Camera & AI Applications
2D/3D camera systems with AI-supported processing. Bin picking, quality inspection, part detection and real-time path adaptation.
Linear Rails & Container Platforms
Linear rail systems for medium-to-heavy payloads. CE-compliant safety environments engineered to applicable standards and customer requirements.
Software & PPS / MES Interfaces
Custom software and direct interfaces to production planning and control systems, including fleet management, ERP/WMS connectivity.
From Analysis to Automation
A structured engineering process that takes risk out of the project and makes sure the delivered system performs the way the spec said it would, from first analysis to on-site handover.
01
Requirements Analysis
We map your production process in detail: cycle times, part geometries, payload requirements, environmental constraints, and how the new equipment has to interface with what you already have.
02
Custom Engineering
Our team designs the complete solution. That includes robot and gripper selection, rail and safety system layout, vision and AI configuration, and the software architecture. Each concept is validated in 3D simulation before build.
03
Build, Test & Simulate
Hardware and software are built and fully tested at BEC's facility. The system goes through a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) to confirm performance, cycle times and safety compliance before it leaves the workshop.
04
On-site Installation &
Training
BEC handles installation, commissioning and integration on your site. Your team gets hands-on training for daily operation, programming changes and routine maintenance.
Projects
Selected projects demonstrating heavy payload mobile robotics in real industrial production and intralogistics environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our robotics systems, integration process, and project capabilities.
Greenfield automation is built from scratch in a new facility, providing full design freedom. Brownfield automation is retrofitted into an existing production environment — a speciality of BEC Robotics — where mobile platforms and flexible solutions must work around existing machinery, layouts, and processes without requiring structural changes.
Robotic machine tending eliminates idle time between operations by automatically loading and unloading parts 24/7. Where appropriate, BEC's Mobile Robot Platform can serve multiple CNC machines with a single robot, increasing robot utilisation and dramatically improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) while reducing the cost per part.
AI vision systems implemented by BEC enable robots to identify, locate, and pick parts regardless of orientation or variation (bin picking). In quality control, AI vision detects surface defects, dimensional errors, and assembly deviations with consistent accuracy far beyond manual inspection.
Bin picking with AI vision solves the challenge of picking randomly oriented, overlapping, or varied parts from bins without pre-positioning. This enables flexible automation of processes that were previously too complex for traditional fixed-sensor robotic systems.
BEC develops advanced robotic gripper systems as part of its automation solutions. Adaptive grippers, multi-tool end effectors, and AI vision guidance allow robots to handle varying product geometries without manual tool changes, supporting high-mix production environments.
Multi-tool end effectors allow one robot to automatically use different grippers for different parts within the same production process. This allows products with varying sizes, shapes or handling requirements to be processed without manual tool changes, increasing flexibility in mixed-product manufacturing.
Yes. Depending on the application, BEC combines industrial or collaborative robots with safety-rated laser scanners, 3D vision systems and other protective technologies. Every safety concept is developed around the customer's production process, balancing personnel protection, machine accessibility and productivity while complying with applicable machinery directives and safety standards.
Yes. BEC designs scalable, modular automation solutions that often start with a single robot, AGV or AMR and expand step by step as production requirements evolve. This phased approach minimises disruption, allows processes to be refined in production, and gives operators and maintenance teams time to become familiar with the new automation.
BEC robotic systems connect through standardised industrial protocols (OPC-UA, PROFINET, REST APIs) and BEC's proprietary intralogistics software, providing real-time data exchange with ERP, MES, and WMS systems for production planning, order handling, and performance monitoring.
BEC specialises in step-by-step brownfield modernisation. Starting with individual machines, BEC incrementally adds mobile robots and AGVs. Offline testing, process simulations and pre-commissioning reduce on-site installation time, and modular deployment strategies minimise disruption to active production.
