Table of Contents
A key milestone has been reached for Archytas Robotics, a French company specializing in industrial automation, as it becomes a certified integrator of collaborative robots manufactured by Danish firm Universal Robots. This certification, announced this week, validates the company’s expertise and positions it for significant growth in a rapidly expanding market.
Archytas Robotics, founded in 2022, supports businesses in implementing robotic solutions to enhance their operations. The company’s co-director, Matthieu Luchilo, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “It is recognition of the work accomplished since our creation… It proves our competence and gives confidence to future customers.” Universal Robots currently maintains a network of fifteen certified integrators throughout France.
Expanding Capabilities with Industry Leaders
Beyond Universal Robots, Archytas Robotics also collaborates with Japanese automation specialist Fanuc. This dual partnership allows the company to offer a diverse range of solutions tailored to a broad spectrum of industries. According to the company, their client base spans sectors including aeronautics, agri-food, and even specialized manufacturing, such as the Lourdes candle factory.
“Customers come to us with a specific and unique need,” explained a company representative. “We come with the appropriate solution that we integrate into our client’s environment. The integration of robotics makes it possible to increase productivity and efficiency but also to free the operator from the most difficult tasks.”
Growth Plans Fueled by Certification
The newly acquired Universal Robots certification is expected to accelerate Archytas Robotics’ expansion plans. The company anticipates increased demand for its services, leading to new hires and the acquisition of larger facilities in the Haute-Garonne region of France, specifically in Volvestre.
Currently, Archytas Robotics reports an annual turnover of approximately €600,000. The company is projecting revenue to reach between €600,000 and €800,000 by 2026. A senior official emphasized the importance of continuous customer acquisition, noting, “We always have to look for new customers because robotics is a long-term investment. We don’t change it very often. This certification will help us in this quest.”
