Robotic Systems Integration for Industrial Automation
Robotic Systems
Shape Process Automation EMEA designs, builds and integrates turnkey robotic systems for manufacturers across Europe.
Our robotic automation solutions help improve productivity, quality, safety and flexibility in demanding production environments. From material handling and machine tending to palletizing, packaging, inspection and vision-guided robotics, we deliver complete systems tailored to your production goals.
With local engineering, project management and support in Europe, we guide your automation project from concept and simulation to build, FAT, SAT, CE-compliant deployment and long-term service.
Complete Robotic Automation Solutions
Robotic system integration is about more than installing a robot. It means combining industrial robots, tooling, safety systems, controls, vision technology and production equipment into one reliable and efficient automation solution.
At Shape Process Automation, we take responsibility for the complete project lifecycle. We start by understanding your process, production targets and operational challenges. From there, we develop a robotic system designed to support your business — not just your production line.
Our robotic systems can be delivered as standalone robot cells, integrated production modules or complete turnkey automation lines.

Robotic Applications We Integrate
Machine Tending
We design robotic machine tending solutions for automated loading and unloading of CNC machines, presses, forming equipment and other production machinery.
By automating repetitive handling tasks, manufacturers can improve machine utilization, reduce manual work and create a more stable production flow.
Common applications include:
- CNC machine loading and unloading
- Press tending
- Part handling between machines
- Automated buffering and transfer systems
- Vision-guided loading and orientation
Palletizing and Depalletizing
We develop flexible robotic palletizing and depalletizing systems for industrial products, food, consumer goods and packaging applications.
Robotic palletizing can help reduce manual lifting, improve workplace ergonomics and create more consistent pallet patterns. Systems can be designed for different box sizes, bag formats, trays, crates or other product types.
Typical features include:
- Flexible pallet patterns
- Multiple product formats
- End-of-line integration
- Gripper design for specific products
- Safe operator interaction
- Integration with conveyors, wrappers and labelling systems
Packaging Automation
We integrate robotic systems for packaging processes where speed, precision and flexibility are important.
Our solutions can support case packing, tray loading, folding, product handling and end-of-line automation. By combining robotics with smart tooling and control systems, we help manufacturers create packaging lines that are efficient, repeatable and adaptable to changing product requirements.
Applications include:
- Case packing
- Tray loading
- Product grouping
- Folding and closing operations
- End-of-line automation
- Handling before or after packaging machines
Pick and Place Robotics
Pick and place automation is ideal for repetitive handling tasks where accuracy and speed are important.
We design robot cells that can identify, pick, orient and place products or components into the next step of the production process. When required, we integrate vision systems to manage product variation, orientation and quality verification.
Typical applications include:
- High-speed component handling
- Product sorting
- Loading of trays or fixtures
- Vision-guided picking
- Handling of mixed product flows
- Automated assembly support
Inspection and Vision-Guided Robotics
Vision technology can make robotic systems more flexible, accurate and intelligent.
We integrate 2D and 3D vision systems for robot guidance, part identification, quality inspection and process verification. This allows the robot to adapt to variations in product position, shape or orientation.
Vision-guided robotic systems can support:
- Part localization
- Quality control
- Product identification
- Orientation detection
- Inspection before or after processing
- Traceability and process validation

From Concept to Commissioning
1. Process Understanding and Concept Development
Every successful automation project starts with understanding your process. We review your current production flow, product requirements, capacity targets and operational challenges.
Based on this, we develop a robotic automation concept that aligns with your technical needs and business goals.
2. Simulation and Cycle-Time Studies
Before investing in a complete system, simulation can help validate the concept.
We use robotic simulation and cycle-time studies to evaluate reach, motion paths, throughput, layout and feasibility. This helps reduce risk and gives a clearer picture of how the proposed system will perform in production.
3. Design and Engineering
Our engineering teams develop the mechanical, electrical, safety and control system design required for your robotic solution.
This includes robot selection, tooling, fixtures, safety systems, PLC integration, HMI design and production line interfaces.
4. System Build and Factory Acceptance Testing
The system is built and tested before delivery. During Factory Acceptance Testing, we verify functionality, safety, cycle time and system performance together with the customer.
This helps ensure that the robotic system is validated before being installed in your production environment.
5. Installation, Commissioning and SAT
After delivery, our team supports installation, commissioning and Site Acceptance Testing.
We make sure the system is correctly integrated into your production line and that it performs according to the agreed requirements.
6. Training, Service and Long-Term Support
A robotic system should continue to deliver value long after installation.
That is why we support our customers with operator training, documentation, service, spare parts and long-term technical support.
