Repetitive work removed
Machines take the tasks that wear people down and vary under fatigue.

Robotics & Smart Machines
Smart machines. Intelligent possibilities.
Overview
Smart machines. Intelligent possibilities.
Robotics, smart machines, intelligent hardware, automation devices and connected emerging technology — sourced, supplied and integrated with the systems around them.
FourZ does not manufacture robots. What we do is identify the right technology for a process, source it against specification, and connect it to the networks, data and workflows that make it useful — so an automated cell produces information as well as output.
What it covers
Key capabilities.
Delivered individually or as one coordinated scope, depending on where you are starting from.

Business value
What this actually
changes.
The commercial reason this work is worth doing, stated plainly.
02
Machines that report
Output and status flow into your systems instead of staying on the floor.
03
Sourced, not guessed
Technology selected against the process, with honest limits stated up front.
How we approach it
Four stages.
No surprises.
The same route from an unresolved requirement to something running in production.
01
Assess
Understand the process, the volumes and what automation would actually change.
02
Source
Identify and supply the robotics or smart technology that fits the requirement.
03
Integrate
Connect the equipment to the network, data and workflows around it.
04
Support
Keep it running, with spares and the supplier relationship handled.
Where it applies
Typical
use cases.
The situations this capability is most often brought in to resolve.
Production automation
Repetitive physical tasks moved to machines on a production line.
Connected equipment
Machines reporting status and output into operational dashboards.
Emerging technology trial
Evaluating and sourcing technology that is not yet standard.
Connected capabilities
What this usually
pairs with.
Most engagements reach across more than one service. These are the common neighbours.
