Robotics deployment as a service

Your shift gets
covered.

You describe the work. You get the machine that fits it, run for one hourly rate. Machine, labor, training and uptime, all in the rate. Nothing to hire, nothing to buy, nothing separate to approve.

What changes first

Your shift gets covered in week one.

Before any of the money arguments, this is the part that changes for you. Two weeks of the same job, staffed the way it is now, and covered.

An illustration of the pattern, not data from a customer site.

Every red square is a morning you have to fix. A phone call, a favour asked, an overtime shift approved, and eventually a job posting. That is what stops for you, and it stops immediately.

Nobody to hireNo advert, no interviews, no onboarding, no ramp-up weeks. The seat is filled the day the machine starts working.
One rate, one invoiceThe machine, the labor, the training, the service and the uptime are all inside the hourly rate. Nothing separate to approve.
Add hours, not headcountAnother shift or another site is a line on your service order, not a recruiting cycle and not another manager to supervise.
Task fit assessment

Describe the work. Get an honest verdict.

Nine questions, about a minute. It returns a negative verdict when the job is not ready for a machine, which happens often. That is the point of it. Better you find that out here than after something fails on your floor.

Put your own numbers in it.

One bundled rate against what the role actually costs you today, wages plus burden plus the overtime and rehiring you are already paying for. Every field is editable and every starting value is a default, not a quote. The arithmetic is printed at the bottom so you can argue with it.

Default $18.00. Use the actual hourly rate you pay, before any burden.
Default 1.30. Payroll tax, workers comp, benefits, paid time off. This varies widely by state and by whether the role carries benefits. Check yours.
Default 8.
Default 7. One shift a day. Raise it if you run more than one shift or more than one site on the same machine.
Default 6. Hours paid at time and a half because someone did not show or the shift ran long.
Default 2. How many times you refill this seat in twelve months.
Default $1,500. Advertising, interviewing, onboarding, and the weeks before the new hire is up to speed.
Standard. A small set of items, mostly repetitive, one area of the floor. The rate covers the machine, the labor, training on your floor, service and uptime. Nothing separate to finance. Band $28 to $38, a starting estimate rather than a quote.
Typically 2 to 5 years, shorter than a car loan on the same money. At the end of it the machine is yours and the rate steps down by about a third. Useful later, not the reason to start.

How the machine gets picked

The selection is the work.

Anyone can put a robot on a floor. Knowing which one, and knowing when the answer is none of them, is what you are actually paying for. Here is what gets evaluated on your site, in order.

1

Watch the task, not the job title

Your task gets timed, motion by motion. What gets picked up, from where, how often, how heavy, how varied. A job title says nothing. A task that repeats the same way two hundred times a shift says everything.

2

Find what breaks it

Deformable bags, wet or oily parts, high mix, tight placement, stairs and ramps. The constraint that would make a machine fail on your floor gets found before any machine is chosen. If it is fatal, you hear that here and it stops.

3

Match the class, then the supplier

First the class your work needs: a fixed arm, a two-armed station, something mobile, or transport with no manipulation at all. Only then the question of who builds the best version of that. Never the other way round.

4

Prove it on your floor

Training happens on your site, on your product, in your lighting, with your people walking past. A machine that works in a supplier demo has proved nothing about your building.

Proof

Footage from a real floor, including the failures.

You will not be shown manufacturer renders here. A render proves a machine exists, not that it can do your job. These slots hold real footage of real work, with the task named and the cycle time on screen, and they stay empty until that footage exists.

Slot 1

One full cycle, uncut

A single complete task from approach to release, no edits, task named and cycle time visible.

Awaiting footage
Slot 2

Running unattended

A wide shot over a longer stretch, nobody standing next to it, so the real pace is visible.

Awaiting footage
Slot 3

A failure and the recovery

A missed grasp or a dropped item, then the stop and the restart. If you have sat through automation demos before, this is the clip you actually want.

Slot 4

The deployment itself

Unloading, positioning and the first training pass, so you can see what the first day on your site looks like.

What runs today

Straight answer on the hardware.

The machine on the floor today is built by Trossen Robotics, a US manufacturer whose arms are used in research labs and universities. It is the one with the most hours behind it here.

It is not the only one. When your work calls for a different class of machine, or a different builder does that class better, you get that one instead. There is no dealership here, no exclusive catalog, and nothing extra earned by putting one supplier in front of you. If that ever changes, this section will say so.

Better understated than dressed up. Right now that is one manufacturer in the field and a short list of others under evaluation.

Section 179 and bonus depreciation

You can never deduct an employee's future wages up front.

Payroll gives you a deduction one pay period at a time, forever, and never in advance. Because this agreement ends with you owning the machine, it can be treated as an equipment purchase for tax, and equipment placed in service may qualify for Section 179 or 100% bonus depreciation.

In plain terms: the deduction can land in the year the machine starts working, while your cash goes out over the term. Wages never work that way. It is usually the fastest point to land with an owner or a CFO, and it is the one your accountant will recognise immediately.

Whether it applies to you depends on how your agreement is written, your entity, your state and your taxable income for the year. Your accountant gets the paperwork and makes the call.

Not tax advice and not a Fizzion claim. Section 179 is limited to your taxable income, with the unused portion carried forward. Bonus depreciation is not capped that way. Confirm the treatment with your accountant before you rely on any of it.
