Question 1

Do you deploy warehouse robots in Berkeley?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Service Robot Co. selects, finances, deploys, integrates, and services warehouse and material-handling robots across Berkeley and the rest of California - autonomous mobile robots, autonomous forklifts, tuggers, pallet movers, and goods-to-person systems. We start with a free site assessment, recommend the right mix for your floor, and keep every unit serviced through a nationwide service engineer network.

Question 2

What is a warehouse automation integrator?

Accepted Answer

A warehouse automation integrator is the single vendor that turns robots from different makers into a working distribution center. Instead of selling one product, an integrator picks the right mix across every OEM, then handles sales, integration with your warehouse software, financing, deployment to the mobile-robot safety standards, and ongoing service. Service Robot Co. is that vendor, and we are OEM-neutral - we recommend the unit that fits your floor, not the one we happen to make.

Question 3

Why use an integrator instead of going direct to the OEM?

Accepted Answer

Going direct gives you the hardware and leaves you the hard part: choosing the right mix, integrating it with your WMS, leasing it, deploying it safely, and owning the downtime - often across several vendors who point at each other. An integrator collapses that into one accountable relationship and gives you a neutral recommendation instead of a sales pitch for one product. The unit is the small part of total cost; the integrator removes the hidden costs that stall direct deployments.

Question 4

Do you partner with robot OEMs as a US distributor?

Accepted Answer

Yes - that is the core of what we do. Many category-leading robot makers are strong on hardware but lack US sales, financing, deployment, and service coverage; several have no US service engineers at all. We act as the US go-to-market arm they did not build: we already service OEM robots in the field for real customers, so the coverage exists before a partnership is signed. For a US customer that means one accountable vendor instead of an importer relationship and an overseas support queue.

Question 5

What does an AMR deployment service include?

Accepted Answer

An AMR deployment service covers everything between the robot arriving and the robot earning its keep: mapping your facility, building and tuning routes, integrating with your warehouse management and fleet software, setting up the safety zones to ANSI/RIA R15.08 Part 2, training your team, and commissioning it on a live floor. We then cover it with RoboCare™ and regional service engineers in every state we service, so deployment is the start of an ongoing relationship, not a hand-off.

Question 6

Can you integrate robots from more than one vendor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and most growing warehouses eventually run more than one brand. The key is orchestration: VDA 5050 is the open standard for a fleet manager to talk to multi-vendor AMRs and AGVs, and Open-RMF (on ROS2) is open-source middleware for coordinating multiple robot brands. Without a coordination layer, mixed fleets fight each other at intersections and task hand-offs. As a vendor-neutral integrator, matching and orchestrating a multi-brand floor is exactly what we do.

Question 7

How much does it cost to work with a warehouse automation integrator?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope - a single AMR deployment is very different from a multi-vendor floor with ASRS and dock robots. The honest framing is that integration and deployment commonly add on the order of a third again to the hardware cost, and that an integrator is almost always cheaper than the hidden cost of self-managing six vendors on a real multi-unit deployment. We lease through financing and build the real total-cost side-by-side for your facility in an assessment.

Question 8

Which robot categories can you deploy and service?

Accepted Answer

We are vendor-neutral and cover the whole floor: transport AMRs and tuggers, autonomous forklifts, goods-to-person and ASRS systems, piece-picking arms, dock robots (mobile ALR, in-trailer arms, conveyor ATLS), inventory drones, and cleaning robots. We pick the right one for your floor rather than fitting your floor to a single product.

Question 9

Can we start with one robot instead of a full project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and most floors should. One unit on one workflow proves the math and surfaces the site quirks before anything scales. Starting small keeps that first step easy, and we tell you honestly if the pilot says stop.
