Foxbot provides a modular robot platform, Foxbot ONE, that integrates industrial robotics, vision systems, and flexible feeding solutions to automate hand‑assembly tasks such as screw feeding, membrane welding, and component placement. The company delivers a full automation service—from 3D concept design and engineering to PLC programming, on‑site commissioning, and training—enabling mid‑size manufacturers to achieve cycle times as low as 3 seconds per part with placement tolerances under 0.1 mm, all without requiring specialized programming knowledge.

Problem
Manufacturers of small‑batch or high‑mix products often rely on manual workstations for tasks such as screw feeding, membrane welding, or component placement. Manual processes are slow, error‑prone, and difficult to scale, leading to high labor costs and inconsistent quality.
Solution
Foxbot offers a configurable robot platform (Foxbot ONE) that combines industrial robotics with integrated vision systems and flexible feeding solutions to automate hand‑assembly operations. The company designs a complete automation concept, engineers the mechanical and electrical components, programs the PLC and robot applications, and provides on‑site commissioning and training. Vision‑guided robots achieve cycle times as low as 3 seconds per screw and placement tolerances under 0.1 mm, while the modular design allows retrofitting to existing production lines. Customers receive a 3D concept, a functional prototype, and a fully integrated system that can be operated without specialized programming knowledge.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid‑size manufacturers in sectors such as e‑mobility, electronics, and precision engineering that need to automate repetitive hand‑assembly tasks while maintaining flexibility for product variations.
