Industrial automation, custom machinery, robotics, intelligent weighing, production and logistics systems, engineered and programmed in-house.
Our robotics work began with adaptive learning and pattern recognition for logistics and transportation. It grew into IoT, autonomous robots and complete production-line systems, with mechanics, electronics and software designed by one team.
Disciplines in one team: mechanics, electronics, software and AI
Years of logistics experience in our leadership
Production systems built to run around the clock
We design, build, program and support the systems that move, weigh, inspect and sort your products.
Industrial automation & SCADA
PLC programming, control cabinets and SCADA dashboards for production lines.
Intelligent weighing & inspection
Checkweighers, metal detection and reject systems with live operator software.
Autonomous mobile robots
Indoor and outdoor navigation, localisation and route planning for robots like Benny.

Prototype & build
Quick prototypes, then manufacturing and installation.
Run & support
Training, SCADA integration, monitoring and service.
Absolute Robotics Solutions department started with projects on adaptive learning and pattern recognition algorithms for logistics and transportation industry and continued with IoT projects and several R&D robots’ prototypes. We were also part of a larger team that develops AI for automotive industry for large car manufactures.
Absolute Robotics Department holds a special place within the company. Among the very first projects developed by us where business intelligence, data mining and analysis solutions which relied on pattern recognition algorithms custom build to suit the client needs. After the pattern recognition and data interpretation the further steps were in the area of self-learning algorithms used in order to produce viable advice for business operations in the area on logistics and transportation. We developed software solutions for KPI analytics for various factories and manufacturing processes from mining to food industry working together with a six sigma company specialized in process improvement. Business Intelligence and related were part of various projects over time.
We developed several projects in the area of IoT, an area with big potential ahead. We were also contracted to do R&D for an IoT project, in which were are involved in all aspects of the product lifetime cycle. We work aside a large intelligent solution provider for various industries.
We are providing software solutions for a company specialized in industrial automation with whom we are partnering for joint venture projects in this area.
And all this time, we never forgot that robotics are also fun so we also find time to do some in house small projects just for fun once in a while.
Navigation.
For autonomous navigation there are 3 main issues to be tackled: localization, route planning and map interpretation. The localization of an autonomous system can be achieved by using either one of, or combining GPS, triangulation and inertial navigation. Outdoor Navigation
GPS is fairly straightforward, however, there are situations where GPS is not available, or the environment is not suitable (heavy forest or tunnels). Triangulation is useful either to improve the GPS navigation or to be used alone when both the positions and the throughput of the radio beacons are well known.
Inertial navigation, also called “dead reckoning”, does away with the need of external beacons of any kind, it is self-contained and can’t be jammed. It uses gyroscopes and accelerometers onboard the mobile robotic vehicle. The accuracy of inertial navigation is determined by the efficiency of the hardware, more precise gyroscopes and accelerometers produce better results.
However, over time, the minute inaccuracies can pile up, and regardless of the efficiency of the hardware used in the application, after a time, the overall accuracy can decrease. Inertial navigation systems need course corrections at certain intervals. Therefore, the best navigation system could combine all these methods, capable to assist and complement each other.Indoor Navigation
Indoor navigation presents a somehow similar problem. Of course, standard GPS can’t be used, so an indoor navigation system will comprise of triangulation, inertial and some sort of shape recognition. The easiest way is to use a magnetic strip or colored strip on the floor. That is not actual navigation but just following a predetermined path. An autonomous mobile robot will use visual elements, such as QR labels – that will be the simplest way – to actually identify the surroundings. Triangulation can be used to a certain degree if, for example, the environment is static, rather than an always changing warehouse.

It's easy to find coders. What's not so easy is finding a coder who can also take an idea and amplify it in ways that consider your market, competition, and business strategy like the team at Absolute was able to do for me on multiple projects. Working with Absolute team is a lot more like finding a true partner than outsourcing development.
