Coverage beyond day shift
Schedule work for nights, weekends, and the hours that are hardest to staff.
Now Serving Central Coast facilities
We run the shift that doesn't exist.
We place a robot at your station and run the job with a remote operator from the first shift. Start with overnight quality, sorting, packing, or rework.
We are selecting our first pilot sites. No customer deployment is implied by the examples on this page.

What you get
More coverage. Less hiring pressure.
This is an operated shift, not a robot dropped at your dock. We stay responsible for keeping the work moving.
02
A person stays in the loop
A remote operator steps in when the job needs judgment. The line does not wait for perfect autonomy.
03
A predictable shift rate
After deployment and training, you pay one monthly rate for each robot-shift.
04
Capacity without a layoff plan
Use the robot where the role is open or the shift does not exist. Keep your team on the work that needs them.
Example starting jobs
Put the missing shift to work.
We start with one bounded station. The best first jobs repeat, have a clear finish, and already sit near automation.
Quality checks
Present each item, check a visible condition, and route failures for review.
Sorting & grading
Separate items by visible grade, destination, or exception category.
Packing & case loading
Place finished items into a repeatable pack pattern and flag mismatches.
Rework & exceptions
Redo a bounded step, verify the result, and hand unusual cases to a person.
Not a replacement plan. A way to cover work your team cannot staff.
The robot extends your labor capacity into a missing shift. Your current team keeps the work that needs experience, judgment, and local ownership.
How it works
Start with the job. Then earn autonomy.
Walk one station.
Show us the task, the pace, the exceptions, and what a good shift looks like.
Run it with an operator.
A trained person controls the robot remotely from the first shift. The work gets done while we collect training data.
Step back over time.
Routine actions move toward autonomy. The operator stays available for judgment and new edge cases.
Human supervision
When the robot hesitates, a person takes over.
A jammed item, a bad seal, or something new should not stop the shift. The operator sees the station, guides the robot through the case, and returns control when the job is ready.
Each intervention becomes an example for the next similar case. The goal is fewer takeovers, not a floor with no people.

First pilot
Pay for a working shift, not a robotics program.
We scope one job, bring the robot and operator, and stay responsible for making the shift work.

Frequently asked
The questions an operations team should ask.
Plain answers for evaluating a first robot-operated shift.
What exactly am I hiring?
A robot-operated shift for one defined job. We bring the robot, train the task, provide remote operation, and stay involved as the work moves toward greater autonomy.
What kinds of work are a good first fit?
Bounded, repetitive station work with clear inputs and outputs. Overnight quality checks, sorting, packing, and defined rework are the jobs we want to walk first.
What happens when the robot gets stuck?
A remote operator takes control, works through the case, verifies the result, and returns the robot to the routine task. The intervention is saved as training data.
Do I need my team to operate it?
No. Your team shows us the workflow and owns the requirements for the station. We remotely operate the robot throughout each shift, so you do not need to assign a dedicated robot operator.
Does every station qualify?
We begin with stations that match the robot's current reach, cycle time, safety limits, and ability to handle variation. As training improves, we are expanding the range of roles and station types we can support.
How do guarding, e-stops, insurance, and liability work?
Before a pilot starts, we agree in writing on guarding, e-stop placement, operating procedures, insurance requirements, and which party is responsible for each part of the workcell and operation. Anywhere a call touches product safety, the station routes conservatively and your people decide. The station never makes the final call where product safety is involved; uncertain items go to your people.
How does pricing work?
The pilot includes a one-time deployment and training fee, followed by a monthly rate per robot-shift. We target a rate below the loaded cost of the unfilled role. Additional training and task execution are available for an added fee.
How do we get started?
Walk us through the missing shift: the station, normal cycle, edge cases, and staffing gap. If it fits, we will propose one bounded three-month pilot.
Show us the shift you cannot fill.
