Unimate Robotics

What Unimate Robotics does

UNIMATE ROBÓTICA, S.L. (operating as Unimate Robotics) is a privately-held Spanish industrial automation integrator founded in 2013 in Vigo, Galicia. The company designs, integrates, and commissions robotic cells and 3D vision-guided picking systems — most notably the Pick-It product family (M-HD, M, and L variants) — alongside training cells, a volumetric dosing valve, and turnkey automation solutions. Its customer base spans the automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, general manufacturing, naval, and plastics sectors, with no named logos disclosed and operations confined to Spain/Galicia.

Unimate generates revenue through two intertwined streams: one-time sales of proprietary hardware products (Pick-It cameras, robotic cells, formation cells, dosing valves) and professional services covering process engineering, consulting, project management, programming, training, and R&D+I. Go-to-market is consultative and direct, with sales-led project execution from analysis through commissioning, frequently structured as multi-year turnkey contracts. The pricing model is opaque and bespoke, determined through direct consultation against project requirements.

The business model is heavily dependent on technology partnerships with all five leading global industrial robot manufacturers — ABB, KUKA, Fanuc, Stäubli, and Yaskawa — which provide access to robotic platforms Unimate integrates into client solutions. The company also operates Unimate School, a training sub-brand launched in 2024, and participates in a network of Galician and EU-backed R&D programs, most prominently the GRECO II Joint Research Unit with CTAG and CETEC running through 2028. Recent grants include PERTE VEC, IG300J, AEI, Facendo Plus, Innovapeme 2024, and Digital Transformation PYMES 2024, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications. No funding rounds, revenue figures, or headcount are disclosed, and no parent company or external investors are identified.
