Robot programming
Our services support machine and line construction companies in programming industrial robots. Thanks to our experience in the automotive industry, we can effectively respond to the needs of industrial process robotization.
Amister’s team of 6 roboticists performs comprehensive services from the preparation of off-line programs, through the commissioning of robots at the customer and end user, to the creation of technical documentation and production support.

Key advantages of working with Amister
We have observed that our clients consistently value not only technical competence, but also the reliability and professionalism of their automation partners. At Amister, we strive to meet these expectations by delivering comprehensive and tailored solutions at every stage of the project.
Our approach is built on key principles that make a tangible difference in each collaboration:
Low turnover of employees on a project
It is an industry standard to have high turnover during projects, leading to delays and organizational problems. We take workload into account at the planning stage to ensure team stability throughout the project. The client can rely on an unchanging team, which speeds up implementation and minimizes the risk of errors.
Replacement procedure
Often projects are paralyzed by staff shortages on the integrator’s side. This happens due to random cases or too many projects running simultaneously. That’s why at Amister we have implemented the principle of employee substitutability. It assumes that each employee has a substitute with an analogous level of competence and knowledge of the project. Thanks to this, random accidents or natural rotation of the team in the project do not paralyze the implementation of projects.
We identify with clients’ projects and needs
Many projects are implemented mechanically, without understanding the specifics of the industry and the client’s goals. At Amister, we are characterized by a proactive approach and understanding of our clients’ needs. As a result, the client receives solutions that are perfectly tailored to their requirements.
Team leader to coordinate Amister work and communication with the client
Clients often have to communicate with many people, which makes project management difficult. At Amister, each project is coordinated by a dedicated team leader, who is responsible for organizing the work and staying in touch with the client. The client communicates with one designated person, which streamlines project management and ensures transparency of activities.

Robot Integration and Programming
On two Stellantis gearbox lines in Mirafiori, we commissioned 40 stations working with 26 FANUC robots. In Åmål, Sweden, on the DANA Incorporated line, a SCARA robot inserts magnets into adhesive-filled openings in electric motor rotors.
For welding robots, we set current, voltage and arc characteristics on Fronius sources for MIG/MAG and TIG welding. We also automate transport between stations: at the MAN truck plant in Niepołomice, we commissioned 87 AGVs that carry cockpits and cabins along the assembly lines.
For KUKA robots we integrate vision systems and higher-level controls for smooth communication with the PLC. We program ABB robots for multi-station applications built to strict safety and quality standards. For larger projects we handle the complete integration of industrial robots – from needs analysis through to commissioning.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical project preparation stage take?
A typical project preparation stage can take from a few weeks to several months.
It depends on the scale of the project, i.e. the number and complexity of machines and their components, as well as the functions and processes they support.
What determines the cost of robot programming in a given project?
The cost of robot programming in a given project depends on:
– the complexity of the system, including the number of controlled devices and the complexity of the control logic
– the brand of the robot and the cost of the software and licenses needed for programming.
– the length of the tests performed
– the amount of project documentation that needs to be prepared
What information is needed for an accurate project quote?
For an accurate and efficient project quote, we need a detailed description of the technical requirements, i.e.:
– technical drawings (including layout if production lines are involved)
– description of how the machine and/or the process itself works
– list of suggested components
– work schedule, if available
– control concept, if available
What robot brands do you work with?
We work with KUKA, FANUC, ABB, Kawasaki, Yaskawa, and ESTUN robots
What programming environments are used for simulation?
We mainly work with environments dedicated to the specified robot brand, e.g. Kuka SimPro, Kuka WorkVisual, Fanuc RoboGuide, ABB RobotStudio, K-Roset.
What safety systems do you use? Are the programmers certified?
Safety systems depend on the robot supplier. We mainly use Kuka SafePro, Fanuc DCS, and ABB SafeMove. Our programmers are trained and certified in the above-mentioned systems.
What processes do you have experience with?
The industrial robot programming team has experience with processes such as:
– Welding
– Gluing
– Twisting
– Riveting
– Welding
– Transfer
– Palletizing
– Vision systems
Do you design systems from scratch or modernize existing installations?
We offer commissioning of new systems from scratch, as well as modernization and improvement of existing installations.
Do you offer training for production and maintenance personnel on the installations you commission?
Yes, in almost every project we carry out, we conduct training for operators and maintenance personnel in the final commissioning phase.
The scope, time, and place, and even the language of the training are determined with the customer.
What sets you apart from the competition, why choose Amister?
