Services & pricing Engineering you can buy by the piece. Prices on the page.
Robots are quoted after the survey, because the part decides the price. The engineering around them is standard work with a standard price — so it is published here, in USD and CNY, with the deliverables and the lead time. Every fee for a proposal is credited in full against the equipment order.

S0Requirement check
Free, 3–5 working days
Send a survey and a drawing; get a written feasibility check, a first model choice and the open questions that decide the cell.
You receive
- 1–2 page requirement check
- Feasibility and first robot selection
- List of open points and what we need next
This is where every project starts. It costs you nothing and it tells you within a week whether the cell is worth engineering.
Lead time: 3–5 working days
Send a survey Engineering, per project
The technical proposal your customer signs off: robot selection, layout, cycle-time calculation, bill of materials with brands, and the quotation — written so you present it as your own.
| Tier | USD | CNY |
| Tier 1 One robot, standard peripherals | 900 | 6,500 |
| Tier 2 Cell with fixture, track or positioner | 1,800 | 13,000 |
| Tier 3 Line: several robots, conveyor interface, process equipment | 3,500 | 25,000 |
per project · three tiers by complexity
You receive
- Technical proposal (PDF, white-label on request)
- Layout drawing and cycle-time calculation
- Bill of materials with brands named
- Equipment quotation on EXW / FOB / CIF / DAP
The fee is credited in full against the equipment order, so it is a deposit, not a cost. If the proposal concludes the cell cannot meet your cycle time, the fee is refunded.
Lead time: 5–10 working days
Order via the survey Reach, collision and cycle time verified against the 3D part model before anything is bought — report and video, white-label.
| Tier | USD | CNY |
| Tier 1 Single robot, one part family | 600 | 4,300 |
| Tier 2 Cell with external axes or several parts | 1,500 | 10,800 |
per project · two tiers
You receive
- Simulation report: reach, collisions, cycle time
- Video for your customer
- Layout corrections fed back into S1
A layout that changes on the screen costs a day. One that changes in steel costs a month and a flight.
Lead time: 5–10 working days
Order via the survey The whole cell assembled, wired and run on your sample parts in Wuhu, with a factory acceptance test you witness on a video call, before it is crated.
| Tier | USD | CNY |
| Per arm Robot, cabinet, pendant, process equipment | 1,200 | 8,600 |
| Per cell With fixture, track or positioner | 2,500–6,000 | 18,000–43,000 |
per arm; per cell with fixture, track or positioner
You receive
- Cell assembled and wired in our workshop
- Programs run on your sample parts, figures measured
- FAT report with photos and video
- Marked disassembly and the technical package
Site work becomes days, not weeks. It is not sold alone: it is a line in the equipment quotation, so you see exactly what it costs.
Lead time: inside the equipment lead time
What the FAT covers Your back office, per year or per month
The engineer who built the cell, in your working hours: screen-share into the pendant, program backup custody, a 4-hour emergency channel, quarterly health check.
| Price | USD | CNY |
| per year · overage USD 60 / CNY 430 per hour | 1,800 | 13,000 |
You receive
- 20 hours of remote engineering per year
- Program and drawing backup custody
- 4-hour emergency channel in your time zone
- Quarterly health check with a written note
Programs and drawings are yours, so most fixes are yours to apply with us watching. This is the number to call when they are not.
Lead time: starts on the day the cell ships
Order A fixed block of engineering hours every month: selection, proposals, BOMs, supplier screening, factory audits, FAT witnessing, export documents — with “we never bypass you” written into the contract.
| Tier | USD | CNY |
| Lite 8 hours a month — a second opinion on every quote | 600 | 4,300 |
| Standard 24 hours a month — one live project at a time | 1,500 | 10,800 |
| Plus 56 hours a month, priority scheduling — several projects | 3,000 | 21,500 |
per month · three tiers · annual –10 %
You receive
- Lite: 8 h / month
- Standard: 24 h / month
- Plus: 56 h / month + priority scheduling
- Unused hours roll over one month
Cheaper than a junior engineer, and it comes with a supply chain. The contract says the customer stays yours; that sentence is the product.
Lead time: starts within 5 working days of payment
Compare the tiers Options
Not the default — the pre-integration is designed so you do not need it. Where a project does, an engineer is arranged.
| Price | USD | CNY |
| per man-day · minimum 5 days · travel at cost | 450 | 3,200 |
You receive
- Engineer on your customer's site
- Daily report
- Handover to your team
Sold only when it is needed, priced so nobody has to guess.
Lead time: by agreement
How site work is led Three days in Wuhu on the cell before it ships — free for the integrator's engineers — or two remote half-days after commissioning.
| Tier | USD | CNY |

| Remote 2 × half-day after commissioning | 600 | 4,300 |
You receive
- Operation and maintenance on the actual cell
- Program structure and backups
- Training videos in the technical package
The best time to learn the cell is while it is still on our floor.
Lead time: scheduled with the FAT
Combine with the FAT USD is the invoice currency. CNY figures are rounded at about 7.2 and restated at the rate of the day. Prices exclude VAT and withholding in the buyer's country.
How to buy
- Send the survey for the workstation type — online with autosave, or the Word file — and the part drawing by e-mail. The free requirement check comes back in 3–5 working days with the recommended service and its price.
- Confirm by e-mail. You receive a pro-forma invoice and the services contract filled in — the same text as the published standard terms (PRC law; arbitration).
- Bank transfer in USD, EUR or CNY. Work starts within two working days of receipt; a reference number tracks the project from here on.
- Delivery as listed above, white-label on request. The S1 fee reappears as a credit line on the equipment invoice.
Read the contract before you order
The standard terms are published, not hidden behind a quotation. Two documents cover everything on this page: the Technical Services Contract (proposals, simulation, remote support, training) and the Back-office Retainer Agreement. Both are specimens — the executed version is issued with the pro-forma invoice, with your details and the project reference filled in. PRC law, CIETAC arbitration (HKIAC on request), English text prevails; Chinese and, for the CIS, Russian alongside.
Five things the contract says in plain words: the S1 fee is credited against the equipment and refunded if the cell cannot meet your cycle time; we never contact, quote or sell to your end customer, with liquidated damages if we do; deliverables can carry your name; our liability is capped at the fees paid; prices exclude taxes in your country and the contract provides for withholding.
Questions before you buy
Why are service prices published when equipment prices are not?
Services are standardised, small, and decided by your own engineer; equipment depends on the part, the process and the cycle time, and any number published before those are known would be wrong. So: services priced here, equipment quoted after the survey.
How is the S1 fee credited?
The full S1 amount is deducted from the first equipment invoice for the same project, within 12 months of the proposal. If the proposal concludes the cell cannot meet your cycle time, the fee is refunded.
How do I pay?
Pro-forma invoice, bank transfer in USD, EUR or CNY. Work starts within two working days of receipt. No card payments in phase one; no price is ever quoted in chat.
Who pays taxes in my country?
Prices exclude VAT and withholding tax in the buyer's country. Where your tax office requires withholding, the contract provides for gross-up or a tax certificate — see the FAQ on the partnership page.
Can the deliverables carry my brand?
Yes. Proposals, simulation reports and FAT reports can be issued under your name (white label). We appear only where a certificate names the manufacturer.
