Understand the difference between a robot manufacturer and a robot system integrator when planning robotic painting, welding or automation projects.
A Robot Manufacturer Builds the Robot Body
Robot manufacturers develop and supply robot arms, controllers, software and related robot hardware. They are important platform providers, but the robot body alone is not a complete production system.
A System Integrator Builds the Working Production System
A robotic system integrator combines the robot with fixtures, process equipment, conveyors, safety devices, PLC/HMI, electrical cabinets, installation and commissioning.
Why the Difference Matters for Buyers
Factories usually need a working painting line, welding cell or automation line, not only a robot model. This is why integrator capability, engineering experience and project delivery matter.
