Industrial robotics
Industrial robot integration and robotic cells
Palletizing, machine loading, depacking, assembly, cobotics or mobile robots: we design and integrate robotic cells around your products, from 3D simulation to commissioning on your line.
A robotics integrator that designs the entire cell
Integrating a robot is not just about choosing an arm: it means designing the gripper, the part feeding, the safety, the automation and the dialogue with your line. CIM Atlantique brings these trades together in-house, with a mechanical engineering office, robotics automation engineers and vision engineers.
Since our first integration of a 6-axis robot in 2007 and our first vision-guided robot in 2011, we have delivered cells for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food processing, plastics, energy and industry. Every project begins with a feasibility study and a 3D simulation of the cell.
Our robotic applications
Palletizing
Palletizing and depalletizing cells for cartons, bags, bundles and unpacked products.
Learn moreMachine loading
Injection molding machines, machine tools, washing machines: loading, unloading and pickup.
Learn moreDepackers and bin picking
Picking bottles, caps and bulk parts, guided by vision and by Deeper.
Learn moreAssembly cells
Assembly, bonding, screwdriving and laser marking, with integrated inspection.
Learn moreCobotics
Collaborative robots for shared workstations and moderate throughput.
Learn moreMobile robots
Autonomous mobile robots for internal flows, with custom modules.
Learn moreEvery cell is simulated before it is built
3D simulation removes the uncertainties before you invest: we verify that the robot reaches every point, that the paths are collision-free and that the cycle time is met.
- Robot selection based on payload, reach and throughput
- Validation of paths and cycle time
- Layout, footprint and operator access
- Offline programming for shorter commissioning
- Risk assessment and safety sizing
Which robot for which application?
| Robot | Strengths | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|
| 6-axis robot | Great freedom of movement, light to very heavy payloads | Machine loading, palletizing, assembly, welding |
| SCARA robot | Fast and precise in a plane | Pick and place, assembly of small parts |
| Delta robot | Very high throughput on light parts | Depackers, sorting and indexing of bottles or caps |
| Cartesian robot | Rugged, long travels, simple to program | Press unloading, gantry handling |
| Cobot | Works alongside the operator, small footprint | Screwdriving, small palletizers, machine tending |
| Mobile robot (AMR) | Autonomous navigation in the workshop | Transport of bins, carts and pallets |
A few cells we have delivered
Robotics and vision: our robots see
Since 2011, we have guided our robots by camera to pick parts in bulk or in motion. With Deeper, our AI vision software, the robot locates, orients and inspects each part before picking it.
- Conveyor tracking and on-the-fly picking
- 2D and 3D bin picking
- Appearance inspection before and after the operation
- Code reading and traceability
Your robotics project in four steps

Feasibility study
Analysis of your parts, throughput and constraints, with picking or vision trials if needed.
- 02
Simulation and design
3D layout, robot selection, grippers, safety and automation.
- 03
Manufacturing and trials
Assembly in our workshops and trials with your parts before shipment.
- 04
Commissioning and follow-up
Installation, team training, maintenance and long-term optimization.
Frequently asked questions
What types of robots do you integrate?
6-axis, SCARA, delta and Cartesian robots, collaborative robots and autonomous mobile robots. We choose the kinematics and the brand according to payload, reach, throughput and your existing equipment.
Which robot brands do you use?
We integrate robots from FANUC, Yaskawa, KUKA, Stäubli and Omron, cobots from Omron TM and Universal Robots, and mobile robots from MiR and Omron. We can also work with your plant's standard brand.
How long does a robotics integration project take?
From a few weeks for a simple cell to several months for a complete line. We set a precise schedule from the quotation stage, with validation milestones: simulation, workshop acceptance, commissioning.
What budget should I plan for a robotic cell?
It depends on the robot, the gripper, the part feeding, the safety and the level of integration into your line. We provide a detailed estimate after analyzing your specifications.
How do you ensure the safety of the cell?
Through a risk assessment, the selection of guards (housings, doors, light curtains, area scanners) and validation of the performance level. The cell is delivered with its conformity file and CE marking.
Do you provide maintenance after installation?
Yes: training for your teams, remote assistance, preventive and corrective maintenance, and upgrades to the cell when your products change.
