No deployment evidence on file
A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against Automata Technologies.
In Cobot, Universal Robots A/S, FANUC and Kassow Robots ApS have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Automata designs and manufactures Eva, a lightweight six-axis industrial robotic arm priced at £4,990 ($6,535), approximately one-quarter the cost of mainstream competitors. Eva is programmable in 15–30 minutes with no prior coding experience, targeting small-to-medium manufacturers and factory workers seeking to automate repetitive tasks. The robot is produced by UK manufacturer Tharsus and sold online to customers across the UK and Europe.
