The cell talks to your line on day one.
We interface the cell to your existing line so it runs as a node in production, not a standalone demo.
The work is changing faster than you can staff it.
The dexterous, high-mix, contact-rich jobs are exactly the work classical automation was never built to hold — and the people who used to absorb it are getting harder to find.
Deployments stall at integration
Mechanical install is rarely the bottleneck. Projects bleed weeks waiting on controls engineers to map tags, prove safety circuits, and validate handshakes. Pre-qualified interfaces collapse that phase into the two-week window.
The floor demands traceability
Quality and compliance now require per-part genealogy and live production data. A cell that can't push to MES creates a blind spot on the line and forces manual logging that erodes the labor savings automation was meant to deliver.
Downtime is measured in minutes
An islanded cell stops the line when it stalls, and nobody upstream knows why. Wired into your interlocks and SCADA, the cell signals state, faults, and recovery in real time, so the line responds instead of waiting.
What the service covers.
One cell, reconfigured per part — not a new machine for every job on the floor.
PLC fieldbus
Connects over EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or Modbus TCP to your line PLCs and I/O.
OPC UA server
Exposes cell state, telemetry, and alarms over OPC UA for SCADA and historians.
MES/ERP exchange
Receives job orders and recipes, returns production counts and status to MES or ERP.
Safety interlocks
Integrates light curtains, e-stops, and door switches into the line's assessed safety circuit.
Conveyor handoff
Synchronizes infeed and outfeed with conveyor signals and part-present detection.
AGV/AMR coupling
Coordinates load and unload with AGVs and AMRs through docking and ready handshakes.
One cell. Assembly, inspection, finishing.
Qualified off-site. Running in two weeks.
The slow, hard engineering happens on our floor — so the cell arrives tested and dialed in instead of tying up your team for months. A new part is a reconfiguration, not a rebuild.

Everything arrives in one qualified unit.
Arm, sensing, tooling, software, and safety, selected for your part and qualified as a set.
Manipulator & end-effector
Arm and tooling selected for your part, qualified as a set.
Closed-loop vision
Finds the part, adjusts in real time, verifies its own work.
Skill library & runtime
A new part is a reconfiguration, not a rebuild.
Safety & technician interface
Guarding sized to your floor, failures explained in plain language.
Will it fit your aisle? Yes.

Bring a Relling workcell to your floor.
We started Relling to help American manufacturers make more of what this country needs. We'll scope a single cell to your parts, qualify it before it ships, and stand behind it on your floor.
