How does your business benefit with EGEROBOT?
Unlike 1707, it is not order-based; your SME applies on its own. EGEROBOT is the technology/solution provider and the service/consulting side (within the applicable upper limits).
Example project scenario
Your business defines a project covering components such as artificial intelligence and digital solutions in its production/operation processes. EGEROBOT deploys the solution on site as a pilot, validates it, and makes it scalable. Throughout the application and reporting process, the technical content is supported by EGEROBOT. The output remains within your business as a commercializable capability that can be scaled to different lines/sectors.
