Engineering Solutions
for Industry 4.0

What we deliver

Each turnkey project is tailor-made for the specific challenges of the client's operation.

• Linhas de montagem automatizadas completas com estações modulares
• Robotic cells for handling, fastening, inspection, and packaging
• Dedicated equipment for specific industrial processes
• Vision and inspection systems fully integrated into the production line
• Integration with existing MES/MOM and ERP systems

Strategic approach

Pollux's turnkey model is structured to transfer integration risk from the client to Pollux.

• Simultaneous engineering: mechanical, electrical, and software work in parallel
• Digital simulation: virtual validation of the concept before manufacturing
• Structured FAT: acceptance tests with formal protocols
• Assisted ramp-up: technical follow-up until OEE stabilization
• Dedicated PMO: schedule, scope, risk, and communication management
• Documented handover: formal transfer with operational training

Industrial Robotics

6-axis industrial robots for high-speed, high-payload, and high-precision operations.
