What OUTMAN does

OUTMAN operates in the Spanish market under the trade name OKOA (legal entity OKOA TECH S.L.), a privately held industrial engineering and automation firm headquartered in Xirivella, Valencia. The company designs, fabricates, and integrates custom production-line equipment — including belt conveyors, spirals, elevators, depalletizing/palletizing robots, dosing and packaging machines, bottling lines (CDB/CDL), and end-of-line cartoning systems — primarily for food and beverage manufacturers. Its customer base of 70+ active enterprise clients, including Pescanova, Campofrio, Lactalis, Damel, and Importaco, has generated more than 1,000 completed projects over 20+ years of operation.

Underlying the hardware portfolio is a service and software layer: the proprietary MTEA (Mantenimiento Tecnológico Enfocado a Activos) maintenance methodology, IoT sensorization for production monitoring, and data analytics for real-time operational visibility. The company also markets Rachael, a deep-learning computer vision system for automated food quality inspection. The business model is project-based and consultative: solutions are custom-engineered per client specification, with revenue generated through one-time equipment sales, professional engineering services, and recurring maintenance contracts under the MTEA framework. GTM is direct B2B enterprise sales targeting industrial decision-makers in Spain, supported by content marketing, case studies, and event participation. In 2025, OKOA TECH S.L. received the Spanish government's PYME Innovadora (Innovative SME) certification, valid through July 2026.

Core offering

OKOA designs, fabricates, and integrates custom industrial automation equipment and robotics for manufacturing production lines — including belt conveyors, spirals, elevators, depalletizing/palletizing robots, dosing, packaging, weighing, bottling, and cartoning systems — along with code- and quality-control technologies such as the Rachael deep-learning inspection system. Beyond equipment manufacturing, the company delivers advanced services: the proprietary MTEA technology-focused asset maintenance methodology, IoT sensorization, real-time production data analytics, and engineering/R&D services for productive process design.

Product overview

OKOA is an industrial transformation company offering a comprehensive portfolio of industrial automation solutions organized into six main categories: Line Starts (depalletizing robots, box tippers), Transformation and Manipulation (dosing, packaging, weighing machines), Bottling and Packaging Lines (CDB, CDL systems), Transport and Conveyors (belt conveyors, spirals, elevators), Quality Control (Rachael deep learning inspection, code verification), and Line Ends (cartoning, palletizing robots). The company also provides advanced services including MTEA (Technology-Focused Asset Maintenance), Data Analytics for production optimization, and IoT solutions. With over 20 years of experience and 1,000+ completed projects, OKOA serves specialized industrial sectors, primarily food and beverage manufacturing.
