Buyer FAQ

Common questions about Systems Integrators

Integrator or in-house engineering?

Most UK manufacturers use external integrators for bespoke automation because the skills, software licences and risk are easier to subcontract than to staff.

How long does a bespoke machine take?

Typically 4 to 9 months from concept to FAT for a single machine, depending on complexity, long-lead components and software scope.

Should I issue a URS?

A clear User Project Specification (URS) helps integrators quote like-for-like and is the foundation of FAT/SAT acceptance later.
