What “turnkey” means here

Not “sold and gone” — a full cycle from the first floor measurement to the signed handover. Project management on our side, engineering — ours plus Chinese OEM partners.

• FIG.01

  Audit and design

  Floor survey, operations analysis, process simulation, techno-economic study. The signed brief becomes a contract appendix.

• FIG.02

  Multi-vendor procurement

  Robots + conveyors + sorters + WMS + safety systems. Not one manufacturer — an optimal mix: Geek+ for AGVs, Pudu for HoReCa, Damon or Libiao for sortation, etc.

• FIG.03

  Systems integration

  Equipment-to-equipment, plus integration with the client's ERP/WMS/BMS. Network and signal cabling, protocol setup, commissioning with real data.

• FIG.04

  Commissioning and handover

  Controlled go-live, operator and shift-lead training, local certification, document handover, service contract for steady-state operation.

From the first call to go-live

Seven high-level milestones of a custom project. Durations are for mid-scale projects ($1—3M).

1. Stage 011—2 weeks

   First contact

   Introduction, top-level task discussion, NDA, materials exchange. No commitment from either side.

2. Stage 02◇1—3 months

   Paid audit and brief

   Floor survey, process modelling, techno-economic study. Fee $5K — $30K depending on scale. The signed brief becomes the contract foundation.

3. Stage 032—4 weeks

   Contract and prepayment

   Contract in the chosen jurisdiction, letter of credit or staged prepayment (typically 20—30%). Payment schedule and acceptance milestones agreed.

4. Stage 04◇2—4 months

   Engineering and procurement

   Detailed design with OEM engineers in the loop. Batch procurement, physical acceptance at the factories.

5. Stage 052—3 months

   Logistics and customs

   Phased shipping, sea or rail freight, customs clearance, local certification under destination requirements.

6. Stage 06◇2—4 months

   Installation and integration

   Equipment installation, network and power cabling, integration with client's systems, commissioning tests.

7. Stage 071 month

   Handover and training

   Controlled go-live, operator and shift-lead training, document handover, service contract for steady-state operation.

What we don't do — so we don't waste your time

The scale we open access to for clients in CIS and UAE

• Case · 0118 months

  JD.com — Northern China

  100 000 m² · 300+ AGVs · full AS/RS

  Full cycle from design to handover. Per public integrator data — order-of-magnitude picking acceleration and significant manual-labour reduction. One of the largest AS/RS complexes in Northern China.

• Case · 0214 months

  BYD — Shenzhen

  EV final assembly line · 50+ robots

  Final assembly automation for electric vehicles. Per public industry data — reduced cycle time and lower defect share. Multi-vendor supply with integration into the existing MES.

• Case · 0312 months

  Cainiao (Alibaba) — Wuxi

  Sort hub 50 000 m² · multi-vendor

  Combined AGVs (Quicktron), sorters (Honeywell), WMS and packing lines. Per public data — order-of-magnitude reduction in order-sorting time after integration.

• Case · 04Multi-year

  Qingdao Port — automated terminal

  Container terminal · AGV/IGV fleet

  Port automation class: autonomous container carriers, zone-to-zone logistics, dispatching. Per operator public data — higher throughput and a sharp drop in manual labour at the quay.

• Case · 05Multi-year

  Metallurgical plant — East China

  Warehouse complex · AGV/AMR · hazardous zones

  Heavy-industry logistics class: moving billets and materials, warehouse accounting, removing people from hot and hazardous zones. Per public industry data — fewer manual operations and incidents.

Staged payments and letters of credit — standard practice

• FIN-01

  Payment structure

  Indicative split — 20—30% prepayment for batch procurement, 40—50% by production and factory-acceptance milestones, 20—30% on commissioning. The final structure is agreed per deal and fixed in the contract.

• FIN-02

  Letters of credit (LC) and escrow

  A possible mechanism for large projects. Conditions (release milestones, documents, issuing bank) are agreed with the client's bank and contract jurisdiction. We don't offer a universal scheme — each deal is structured individually.

• FIN-03

  Contract jurisdiction

  Client's choice across four jurisdictions — UAE, Hong Kong, mainland China, Belarus. Each with its own currencies, banking requirements and compliance regime.

• FIN-04

  Leasing and financing

  On large projects we can connect leasing partners in the client's country. Availability and conditions depend on the country, currency and current banking relationships; discussed at the technical-brief stage.
