Manufacturing Robots — Cobots, AMRs, Industrial Cleaning, Heavy-Duty
US manufacturing is reshoring fast and the labor doesn't exist. Standard Bots, Universal Robots, and Doosan cobots handle machine tending and assembly; OTTO, MiR, and Geek+ move material; LionsBot R12 keeps the floor compliant. Bought, deployed, and serviced under one roof.
70%
of new factory automation projects use cobots
$50K–$120K
typical landed cost per cobot workflow

What you're probably running into
Reshored production scaling faster than you can hire
Traditional integrators sell deployment and disappear — leaving you with $500K of equipment and no support
Federal contracts (DoD, NASA, FAA) require BABA / Buy American compliance that cuts most brands

How a Farhand rollout works in manufacturing
Buy + deploy + service — under one roof.
01
We walk the factory — identify 1–3 workflows where cobots, AMRs, or industrial cleaning unlock real ROI — and quote the right Standard Bots, UR, Doosan, OTTO, MiR, or Geek+ fleet.
02
Robots ship pre-configured. We handle fixturing, end-of-arm tooling, vision (if needed), PLC integration, and WMS / MES handshakes.
03
Field Service Engineers commission on-site over 2–12 weeks (workflow-dependent), train your operators, and load every unit into Farhand Relay.
04
Lifetime service: when a fixture wears out, a program needs updating, or a fault recurs, it's already documented in Relay. Same-day on-site dispatch nationwide.
