Material logistics
Moving components between stations, kitting fasteners, feeding a machine. Repetitive, tolerant of imperfect speed, and the fastest route to a number you can act on.
HUMANOID APPLICATIONS
Deploying humanoids.
Delivering impact.
We know how to make a modular factory run — in Europe and in the United States. Now we are putting humanoids to work in one.
Get in touchWhere we are focusing first
A humanoid today works at roughly a third to a half of the pace of a trained operator. That rules out most of a production line and makes the choice of first task the decisive one. Three areas meet the conditions.
Fastening and assembly
Repeat operations at a fixed station, measured against the manual baseline on your own line rather than against a supplier's video.
Inspection and record
Every pass documented — what was done, where, to what tolerance. The recordings stay inside your network and the resulting data stays yours.
We come from the factory floor, not from a robot catalogue
Modular production
Our people have designed, engineered and run modular construction on both sides of the Atlantic: European and American production lines, and the differences in code, tolerance and labour that separate them.
Vendor neutral
We are not a reseller for one manufacturer. The task software is built on an open stack with a thin adapter per platform, so the work you pay for survives a change of hardware.
The unglamorous part
CE marking and importer obligations, safety around people who are not expecting a machine, cybersecurity, and where the training data is stored. These decide whether a deployment happens.
How a deployment proceeds
-
Readiness scan
Two days in the factory, resulting in a ranked shortlist of tasks a humanoid could realistically take over, an estimate of what a cell would cost, and what it would save. Where no task qualifies yet, the report says so.
-
Pilot
One task, one station, three months. Cycle times measured against the manual baseline, cost per unit, and criteria for continuing or stopping agreed in advance.
-
Robots on subscription
A proven cell on a monthly contract covering hardware, task software, updates and maintenance.
How hiring works
Most factories already know how to bring in skilled temporary staff: describe the job, try someone out, keep them as long as the work needs. We offer humanoid work the same way, so you can start small and know what you are buying.
-
Brief the job
You describe one repeatable task and send a hall plan and product drawings. We tell you plainly whether the task suits a humanoid today, and what it would take.
-
Site check
We check the hall on the plan, and on site if needed: floor, space, network, power, safety areas and the people who work nearby. You get a short written summary.
-
Trial shifts
A paid pilot on that one task, typically three months, with measured cycle times, quality records and a cost-per-unit comparison against your current way of working. Either side can stop at the end.
-
Contracted crew
If it works, the robots stay on a subscription for the period you agree. Hardware, software, secure updates, maintenance and replacement units are included. Add tasks or units as your line needs them.
You provide
The job and the priorities of your line, a hall plan and product drawings, space, power and a local network connection, and a named contact who directs the work, as with any temporary team member.
We provide
The humanoid units from the platform that fits the job, task planning, software and quality logging, set-up, on-site support and maintenance, risk assessment and compliance documentation, and a replacement if a unit is out of service.
Contact
Nilesk is preparing its first humanoid deployments for modular construction. We welcome conversations with manufacturers, platform suppliers and engineering partners who are working towards the same thing.
