Robotics Automation Consultant — Industrial Process …, Kota

Engagement Type: Consulting / Contract (Project-based) Duration: 3–6 months (with extension based on project phases)

Commitment: Full time equivalent during active project phases

About the Engagement

We're bringing in a Robotics Automation Consultant to lead a focused industrial automation project — converting a currently manual production process into a robotic workflow. This is a project-based engagement where you'll own the technical thinking from feasibility through deployment, working alongside our internal team and the client's plant engineers.

Ideal for an independent consultant or boutique automation specialist who has done this before, knows where projects typically fail, and can move quick without hand-holding.

Scope of Engagement

Phase 1 — Process Study & Feasibility (2–3 weeks)

Spend time on the shop floor observing the current manual process — cycle times, operator movements, defect patterns, throughput bottlenecks.

Deliver a feasibility report covering automation potential, ROI estimates, and a recommended robotic approach.

Phase 2 — Solution Design (3–4 weeks)

Specify robot type (6-axis, SCARA, cobot, delta), end-effector design, fixturing, vision requirements, safety architecture, and cell layout.

Produce BOM, vendor shortlist, and capex estimate.

Deliver layout drawings, cycle-time simulations (RobotStudio / RoboGuide / KUKA.Sim), and a technical specification document.

Phase 3 — Integration & Deployment (8–12 weeks)

Oversee or hands-on execute robot programming (ABB RAPID, KUKA KRL, Fanuc TP, UR Script, or equivalent).

Integrate machine vision (Cognex, Keyence, or custom OpenCV), PLC logic, and communication with existing MES/ERP.

Run FAT and SAT, validate against baseline cycle times, handle commissioning.

Phase 4 — Handover & Stabilization (2–3 weeks)

Train operators and maintenance staff.

Document the system end-to-end.

Provide post-deployment support window for issue resolution.
