The Robotics Industry

The rise of smart robots and self-drive vehicles brings with it new cybersecurity-related challenges and calls for the management of unforeseen situations, making a global, scalable safety approach essential, from the design phase, across the entire system life cycle. 

With its Mekkatronix design office, Seres Technologies supports players in the robotics sector (standalone robots, submersible drones, etc.) to develop new materials and ensure the reliability of existing systems, in accordance with the current regulations.

Seres Technologies offers R&D solutions in robotics, covering both hardware and software, embedded intelligence, human-machine interfacing and industrial and specialised applications; optimisation of reliability and fault tolerance of robotic systems, validation of safe behaviours in complex environments, AI-assisted obstacle detection, and the improvement of existing robotic systems, among other aspects.

In the robotics domain, QHSE is essential in ensuring the seamless functioning, reliability and acceptability of automated systems. Quality guarantees continual performance, while safety is intended to protect users, especially in man-machine collaborative environments. Safety has become a major challenge with the rise of smart robotics. Risk management ensures that technical faults and unforeseen usages are anticipated. 

As a key player in managing industrial risks and in complex system development, Seres Technologies offers advanced QHSE expertise to players in the robotics industry.

Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) aims to ensure that roboticised equipment, particularly self-drive vehicles, are able to operate optimally throughout their lifespan. Seres Technologies conducts comprehensive studies to anticipate maintenance needs, optimise systems availability and minimise operating costs. Seres Technologies uses its multi-disciplinary expertise to help its customers to integrate high-performance solutions in complex environments such as industrial production zones and autonomous transport networks, taking into account logistics constraints and safety imperatives.

Seres Technologies provides in-depth analyses to ensure that each solution deployed follows the strictest safety standards, such as Standard ISO 13849, ISO 25119 and the Machinery Directive. These studies allow us to identify potential risks, prevent faults and minimise accidents by evaluating each component and process. Drawing on methods such as Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and strength tests, Seres Technologies anticipates critical scenarios and offers improvement plans to optimise the functional safety of robots in varied environments (production chains, agricultural sites, automated warehouses).
