Birdwave / How we work

Six steps. You decide at every one.

Most of the risk in an automation project is decided before the first bolt. So we spend the first weeks on requirements, concepts and tests, and put the result in writing.

  1. Understand

    A site visit or your video. Requirements written as a list you sign.

    You decide

  2. Design

    Engineers and AI agents draft concepts from every maker.

    Concept layoutsA · B · C

  3. Compare

    Rate, footprint, cost, risk, changeover, maintenance, safety. You choose.

  4. Prove

    Simulation for flow and cycle; tests for grip and vision with your products.

  5. Deliver

    Build, factory acceptance, installation, site acceptance on your numbers, CE.

  6. Run

    Training, service, spare parts and the warranty period.

Steps 01 to 03 are the concept study: fixed price, credited if you go ahead. You can stop after any step and keep what you paid for.

Thanks. Our agents are drafting concepts now. I'll check every one before you see it.

How we decide

Every option compared. The right one built.

What matters most to you?

Pick one, or look at each concept below.

How the example was made: frames, mounts and guarding engineered, robots from the makers' own CAD, every move solved through the robots' kinematics and checked for collisions. Strengths are shown as dots; real figures come from your own study. Simulation informs the decision. Physical tests prove the risky parts.

Engineers powered by AI

Engineers decide. AI does the legwork.

AI agents
Read your requirement list, search the market, draft layouts and check reach, cycle time and fit for every concept.
Engineers
Check every concept, sign every decision, and stand on your floor at start-up.
You
See every choice traced to one of your requirements, and every number labelled measured or simulated.
