//Robotics & agentic AI

Robots for the repetitive work on the bench. Agents for the follow-ups nobody has time for.

One practice, because in a workshop or a store the machine that does the work and the intelligence that keeps track of it should be designed together. We build robotic cells for the repetitive, precise and tiring jobs in jewellery manufacturing - loading machines, finishing, inspecting and photographing pieces - and automation for retail, where consistency and security at the counter matter. Alongside them we build AI agents that read your job cards, stock and messages and act on them: chasing overdue jobs, flagging unusual loss, answering customers and drafting the daily report. Every robot cell is guarded and designed around the people working next to it; every agent runs with guardrails, an audit trail and a person at the last step.

//Capabilities

What we build under robotics and AI agents.

01

Robotic arm cells

Pick-and-place, sorting and machine loading for laser markers, CNC and finishing equipment, sized for a workshop floor rather than a car plant.

02

Finishing & polishing automation

Repeatable finishing paths for rings, bangles and pendants, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.

03

Vision inspection

Cameras and trained models that check finished pieces for surface defects, missing stones and wrong dimensions before they are packed.

04

Automated product photography

Robotic photo cells that capture every piece with the same light and angle - the approach behind our AutoCliq studio.

05

Retail & showroom automation

Automated displays, tray and stock handling, and fast tagged stock counts for showrooms and stock rooms.

06

Workshop follow-up agents

Agents that watch job cards, chase overdue work with karigars and departments, and escalate when a delivery date is at risk.

07

Loss & stock anomaly agents

Agents that compare metal issued with metal returned, and stock counted with stock booked, and flag the differences worth a person's attention.

08

Customer & sales agents

Agents that answer product, rate and order questions, book appointments and hand warm leads to your team - the approach behind Agenflow.

On the floor

What your team actually sees.

//In practice

What a deployment looks like.

Representative engagements, described the way we would scope them with you. Every one starts as a pilot on a single process, production line or branch.

Try an agent run

Every run is a visible sequence of tool calls, and the last step is always a person.

Machine room

Machine tending

A robot arm loads and unloads a laser marker or CNC machine through the shift, so one operator supervises several machines instead of feeding one.

Finishing

Batch polishing cell

Rings and bangles run through the same finishing path every time, with the operator loading trays and checking the results.

Quality

Inspection before packing

A camera station checks each piece against its job card and photographs any defect, so rejects are caught in the workshop, not by the customer.

Catalogue

Photography as pieces are finished

New pieces are photographed as they leave the workshop, so the catalogue and the online store keep up with the stock.

Showroom

Daily stock count

Tagged stock is counted and matched to the books every day, and anything missing is reported before the store opens.

Back office

Overdue job follow-up

An agent lists overdue karigar jobs each morning, drafts WhatsApp reminders and escalates anything at risk for a supervisor to approve.

//What changes

Outcomes we design for.

  • People moved off the repetitive, hot and heavy jobs
  • The same finish and the same photo on every piece
  • Defects and missing stones caught before a piece is packed
  • Stock differences found the same day, not at the year-end count
  • Follow-ups that happen without someone remembering to send them
  • Every robot cycle and agent action logged, explainable and reversible
//Under the hood

Technology & integrations.

  • Collaborative & industrial robot arms
  • ROS 2
  • Machine vision
  • Custom ML models
  • RFID stock tagging
  • Frontier LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini)
  • Tool use & guardrails
  • WhatsApp Business API
  • Human-in-the-loop workflows
  • Cloud or on-premise deployment

Vendor-neutral by default. We work with what is already in your business and recommend new tooling only when it removes a bottleneck.

//Questions about this practice

Before we talk robotics and AI agents.

Start with a pilot

Have a problem robotics and AI agents could fix?

A finishing step that eats hours, stock that never matches the books, a report that takes a week every month. We will scope a pilot around it, price it, and tell you honestly whether it is worth doing.
