Automated Solutions for Your Production – Customized, Scalable, Efficient

In modern manufacturing environments, automation technologies are a key competitive advantage. They ensure consistent quality, reduce throughput times, increase process reliability in complex production steps, and boost flexibility in handling product variations. They also relieve employee workloads and improve workplace safety. Whether you’re active in automotive supply, the furniture industry, food processing, packaging technology, or the production of technical components—when you use a Rotte automation solution, you’re fully equipped for any application and ahead of the competition.

We deliver our innovative technologies as standalone units or as integrated modules for existing production systems—supporting your workflow whether in workpiece transport, assembly, packaging, or handling of delicate components.

Thanks to the modular design of our systems, you can expand capacity or adjust the level of automation as needed—an ideal advantage when your production needs to grow or adapt to new challenges. That’s why manufacturing companies across various industries trust Rotte for the development, implementation, and integration of their automation solutions.

Our services include:

Automated Conveying: Energy-efficient conveyor systems with proven drive technology, tailored to your in-house logistics
Intelligent Assembly: Robot- and cobot-assisted assembly stations at any desired level of automation
Precise Packaging: Fully automated packaging solutions for a wide variety of product shapes and sizes
Flexible Order Picking: Application-specific systems for automated picking of goods and components
Reliable Sorting: Sorting systems with intelligent sensors and vision systems for rapid product classification
Efficient Stacking: Space-saving palletizing and stacking systems for your end-of-line automation
Integrated Handling: Gripping systems and handling technology for delicate or heavy parts
Robot-Based Manufacturing: Flexible production cells with high repeatability and fast cycle times

How Collaborative Robots Drive Your Production Forward

In many industries, the introduction of cobots is fundamentally changing the way work is done. From automotive and food to pharmaceuticals and electronics—the possibilities of collaborative robotics are virtually limitless. Rotte has gained extensive experience in this area and is ready to help you benefit from all that cobotics has to offer.

Robotics

Our robotics solutions range from compact robots for basic pick-and-place tasks to six-axis industrial robots for complex assembly and welding. We tailor the selection and design to your application—including custom-designed gripper systems and safety architecture. With flexible programming, high repeatability, and easy maintenance, we ensure reliable and scalable automation processes.

Industrial Vision Systems

Combined with high-resolution cameras and AI-based analysis software, our vision systems handle essential tasks such as quality control, component detection, and position verification. They identify faulty products during production, precisely position workpieces, and make your processes traceable—a crucial advantage in regulated industries like medical technology or automotive.

Cobots & Human-Machine Collaboration

In production environments where human involvement remains essential, our cobot solutions improve ergonomics, efficiency, and relieve physical strain. These collaborative robots handle repetitive, physically demanding, or precision-critical tasks, allowing your employees to focus on more value-adding activities. With modern safety features, easy programming, and minimal setup time, cobots can be seamlessly integrated into existing workstations—without protective barriers.

Smart Control Systems

The control system is the heart of every automation solution we deliver. Our PLC- and IPC-based controls are fully programmable, compatible with common fieldbus systems (like Profinet, EtherCAT, OPC UA), and enable full system connectivity. Supplemented with intuitive HMI interfaces, condition monitoring, and IoT integration, they create a digital twin of your production—for maximum transparency, control, and real-time responsiveness.

With our automation solutions, you can future-proof your operations against skilled labor shortages while reacting quickly to market shifts, rising demands, or new product variants.
