Services
Advisory disciplines that connect — not a menu of disconnected products.
RoboShift engagements combine strategy, safety, evaluation, enablement and stewardship. You can start with a feasibility review and expand — or retain us across a multi-year adoption arc.
Integrated model
Six disciplines, one trajectory.
Automation vendors often sell cells; integrators sell projects; consultants sell slide decks. RoboShift sits between those poles: we help your leadership team decide what to automate, how to do it safely, who needs training, and how to measure whether the investment is behaving as intended — without pushing a particular robot brand.
Each discipline below can stand alone for a scoped engagement, but the strongest outcomes come when they chain together. A feasibility review that ignores maintenance capacity will produce a roadmap nobody can execute. A safety framework without operator enablement will sit in a binder. We design the sequence with you.

Feasibility & adoption strategy
Line walks, cycle-time analysis, labour-and-ergonomics mapping, capex framing and prioritization. We produce a 90-day action map and a longer adoption trajectory — not a vendor quote.
Safety, compliance & risk framing
Hazard assessments aligned with CSA standards and provincial OHSA expectations, lockout/tagout integration, collaborative robot zone design, AI vision validation protocols.
Vendor-neutral evaluation
Structured comparison of cobots, AMRs, PLCs and AI vision platforms against your constraints — throughput, footprint, IT/OT boundaries, supplier support in Canada. We do not accept reseller commissions.
Integration & commissioning guidance
Support for your integrator relationship: acceptance criteria, FAT/SAT checklists, MES/WMS touchpoints, documentation standards and handover to maintenance.
Operator & maintenance enablement
Workshops, runbooks and coaching so floor staff can operate, troubleshoot and escalate — reducing the "black box" dependency that kills automation ROI over time.
Stewardship retainers
Quarterly reviews, drift monitoring for AI-assisted cells, supplier roadmap tracking and course-correction as regulations, models and production mix evolve.
Typical entry point
Feasibility review — clarity before capital.
A half-day or full-day structured session with your operations, engineering and safety stakeholders. We document current state, identify high-value automation candidates, flag integration and compliance risks, and deliver a prioritized action map. The review is priced separately from longer engagements; it does not obligate you to a multi-year contract.
Many clients use the review output to brief their board, refine integrator RFPs, or pause a premature purchase. That is a successful outcome — not a failed sale.

What we decline
Scope boundaries protect your operation.
RoboShift is explicit about work we will not perform. These boundaries keep our advice credible and your liability profile clean.
We do not sell robots
No hardware resale, no integrator markup, no preferred-vendor kickbacks. Recommendations follow your constraints, not our inventory.
We do not bypass safety
No guidance to disable interlocks, override light curtains without assessment, or run undocumented "temporary" production modes.
We do not guarantee ROI
Payback models are scenarios with stated assumptions — not promises of throughput, headcount or margin outcomes.
We do not replace your integrator
We advise and enable; physical installation, electrical work and certified safety sign-off remain with qualified partners you select.
