Operations & Manufacturing

Operations & Manufacturing

To support scalable, high-quality production, Robora’s operations leverage our in-house R&D facility while partnering with industry-leading manufacturers inspired by best practices from Fanuc, KUKA, and ABB. This hybrid approach ensures innovation-driven prototyping and rigorous testing at our facility, with outsourced assembly and fulfillment for efficient scaling.

Facility Overview

• Our Shenzhen R&D campus focuses on advanced prototyping, precision fabrication of pilot modules, and integrated testing labs.

• Dedicated ISO 7/8 cleanrooms for developing contamination-sensitive prototypes, plus segmented zones for electronics, mechanical design, and simulation-based integration.

Lean Prototyping and Design Validation

• Modular R&D workstations equipped with collaborative robots and simulation tools for flexible part flow and rapid iteration.

• Just-In-Time (JIT) prototyping based on Kanban pull signals, minimizing work-in-progress and accelerating design cycles.

• Short-cycle iterations enabled by quick-release fixtures and standardized module interface, drawing from Toyota Production System and ABB’s automation methodologies.

Inventory and Component Management

• Real-time inventory tracking integrated with our ERP for managing R&D SKUs, barcoded lot control, and automatic reorder triggers for prototyping materials.

• Climate- and ESD-controlled storage areas for sensitive components (semiconductors, MEMS sensors) used in development.

• Automated picking systems to streamline prototype assembly and testing.

Quality Assurance Labs

• Functional safety test rigs aligned to ISO 26262/IEC 61508, including fault-injection benches and safe-state validation for prototypes.

• Environmental stress chambers supporting HALT/HASS profiles (temperature cycling, vibration, humidity) to ensure design reliability.

• Calibration stations for encoders, torque sensors, and inertial measurement units—leveraging traceable reference hardware during R&D validation.

Manufacturing Partnerships & Fulfillment

• We collaborate with ISO-certified manufacturing partners for full-scale production, utilizing automated case erectors, foam-insert machinery, and in-line vision inspectors to ensure units are securely packed and labeled.

• Compliance and hazard labels applied automatically, along with multilingual quick-start guides and safety documents, overseen by our R&D team.

• Carrier-agnostic shipping optimized through partners for routing based on cost, speed, and regional compliance (e.g., DHL, FedEx, ocean/air freight).

Global Logistics & Support

• Partnerships with customs brokerage and export control specialists handle HS coding, export licenses, and duty optimization.

• GPS-enabled track-and-trace for all shipments, with real-time alerts integrated into customer dashboards.

• White-glove deployment options: Our certified engineers provide on-site setup, calibration, and training for enterprise clients, supported by R&D expertise.
