What AiQ Robotics does
AiQ robotics P.S.A. is a privately held Polish industrial automation distributor and systems integrator founded in 2021 and headquartered in Pniewy, Poland. The company operates as an official distributor in Poland for eight or more international brands across precision measurement (Micro-Epsilon, Opkon), drives and motion control (Kinco, Autonics), safety systems (Pilz, Autonics), LiDAR and SLAM navigation (LSLiDAR), thermal imaging (InfiRay), and gear components (Vertex Precision, KHK Gears). Beyond distribution, AiQ develops its own branded products including the iQtraveler series of autonomous mobile robots and forklifts, the iQWMCS dynamic weight measurement system, and the iQLTMS ribbon length/thickness measurement system, alongside a proprietary SLAM navigation engine supporting both indoor and outdoor 3D environments.
The company's revenue model combines hardware distribution (one-time product sales of third-party automation components) with professional services — custom application development, system integration, and on-site commissioning of automation and mobile robotics solutions. AiQ targets industrial manufacturing quality control, battery and energy storage thermal monitoring, mobile robotics/AMR/AGV logistics, and machine builder/OEM integrators, with a horizontal segmentation approach. Notable deployments include an autonomous cargo transport application using the iQtraveler KV800 at Optomer, a fiber optic cable manufacturer, implemented jointly with integrator Arendai. Strategic emphasis is visible on co-development partnerships (Pilz Polska for AMR safety, Poznań University of Technology for R&D and talent) and on extending into adjacent verticals such as UAV/defense (Drone World Expo 2026) and autonomous ground vehicles.
The go-to-market is concentrated in Poland with no evidence of geographic expansion beyond the domestic market, no external institutional investors, and no disclosed funding rounds. Distribution is primarily direct to end customers through the company's website and contact channels, supplemented by technical content marketing (Polish-language blog and application notes) and active participation in Polish industrial trade shows including Modernlog, SPS Smart Production Solutions, and the Autonomous Vehicles conference series. The firm employs between 1 and 10 people and is independently operated by founders with extensive mobile robotics and industrial automation experience.
