Strambotix
PHOTON-3
From Tier-1 automotive body-in-white cells to AS9100-grade aerospace parts rooms, Strambotix ships the same vision stack tuned to your line's throughput, certification, and brownfield constraints. Pick the profile that matches your shop floor — we'll bring the cell, the compute, and a solutions engineer on-site.
Every Strambotix deployment runs the same vision stack — the Photon-3 compute, the Zero-Shot Part Recognition engine, and the safety-rated motion envelope — re-tuned per vertical against audited throughput, accuracy, and certification targets. No re-platforming. No integrators writing glue code.
High-mix BIW spot welds, battery tray kitting, and underbody inspection — running beside human operators in mixed zones, no fenced cage. Zero-Shot Part Recognition swaps SKUs in seconds; the Photon-3 keeps weld-tip vision under 8 ms so cycle time doesn't slip.
Composite layup prep, fastener kitting, and FOD-mitigating pick cells for aerospace primes. Strambotix is the only US-based robotics vendor with dual ISO 13849 and AS9100D certifications on a single platform — your quality team gets one audit trail, not three.
Book a Walkthrough →Tote induction and mixed-SKU palletizing for high-volume fulfillment. Vision-guided depallet from random arrival, with 93.4% first-pass pick accuracy across audited production cells. Drops into existing WMS/WCS without a 12-month middleware rebuild.
Book a Walkthrough →Connector placement, micro-component inspection, and tape-and-reel feeding for contract manufacturers running 200+ SKUs per shift. Zero-Shot Part Recognition trains on a new SKU from just 14 reference images — changeover measured in minutes, not days.
Book a Walkthrough →Have a brownfield line that doesn't fit a clean vertical? Most of our wins come from cells that started as "impossible" retrofit scope. The on-site discovery walks your floor before a contract is ever drafted.
Book a Discovery WalkthroughOperating context, not slideware
Twelve verticals. One camera, one Photon-3 compute unit, one vision stack retraining on a new SKU from 14 reference images. Below: the four contexts where we have the deepest install base right now.
6DOF seam tracking on stamped panels with mixed SKUs. Zero-shot recognition on a new model variant inside a single shift. Currently deployed across body-in-white cells in three North American OEM plants.
Surface defect classification on machined turbine components and composite layups, running on the only US robotics platform holding both ISO 13849 and AS9100D on a single stack.
Trailer- and floor-loaded case induction into sortation. The Zero-Shot Part Recognition engine picks up a new carton profile from 14 reference images, no integrator onsite.
Sub-millimeter fiducial alignment on high-mix SMT lines. Photon-3 handles lighting variance from shop-floor fluorescents without re-tuning, so changeovers stay under one shift.
// platform thesis
Most robotics vendors ship you a vertical and bolt a vision stack onto it last quarter. We did it the other way around: one camera, one Photon-3 onboard compute unit, one vision stack with a patented Zero-Shot Part Recognition engine that retrains on a new SKU from 14 reference images. That same stack walks into a Tier-1 weld cell in one plant and a depalletize cell in a distribution center the next morning — no integrator bench time, no separate ML pipeline, no second vendor on the phone when something shifts on the line.
The headline is under 72 hours from dock to first good part, but the real unlock is what happens after. A new part number lands, a plant manager photographs it fourteen times at the line, and the cell is picking by lunch. That is the connective tissue across every vertical below — not a feature checklist, an operating model.

// next step
Forty-five minutes with a Strambotix solutions engineer and one of our field application engineers. Bring a line drawing, a part print, or a photo of the cell you are evaluating. You leave the call with a Photon-3 spec, a 72-hour deployment plan, and a candid answer on whether this is the right cell for us. No deck, no NDA, no follow-up sales sequence.
