All products include our proprietary technology. Combined with expertise and ability to introduce new solutions swiftly and economically, it represents a solid base for every control solution and sets new standards for today and for the future. Robotina has its own in house R&D and manufacturing facility for all its products. This manufacturing facility enables Robotina to deliver top quality at very competitive prices.

Robotina’s History

From being a subcontractor, the company then developed and started producing its own devices and gained experience and market share in Japan, India, the Middle East and other markets in electronic devices for control, management and energy efficiency. The company’s strategy together with its products and services, developed according to the market needs and expectations as well as to the environmental and digital challenges: Robotina is now positioning itself as a smart devices and services player aiming at improving energy efficiency for both homes and businesses. The company is indeed offering smart devices (hardware) for remote data control and management, IoT software and applications, a cloud based computing platform for energy trading and services between producers, consumers (marketplace for community members), Artificial Intelligence software for consumption forecasts and advice on how to save energy and costs, blockchain technology (Ethereum based community token, smart contracts to access the platform and its services and to process any transaction within the platform and community).

First product

Company developed and introduced its first fully independent product in 2001, a range of distributed Programmable Logic Controller PLC systems used in industry, buildings, infrastructure and remote management of renewable energy (photovoltaic) plants, smart grids and smart cities. In 2007, the company built its new headquarters, R&D laboratories, manufacturing plant and warehouse in Hrpelje (Kozina), on the crossroads between Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria. The building is the company’s showcase and utilizes all its technologies, making it green, zero-emission and net electricity producer (i.e. we produce more clean energy than we consume in total).

The company is today well known as a comprehensive technology and solution provider both for final customers and OEM. Besides know-how in process control, we provide also the expertise across the whole process itself. We have specific teams for processes automation, control and supervising systems, telemetry and tele-control, energy management, intelligent building management systems, control centers and smart cities.

Our unique fusion of industrial expertise, proprietary control technology, highly developed software platforms and tools, ability to understand customer needs when prototyping and manufacturing plant, guarantees the best performance to our clients, who want to focus on their own core competences. With the help of the situation analysis and the evaluation of the results, we are always capable of suggesting high-quality solutions and carry them out from the initial concept to the final delivery.

Our solutions provide comfort, safety and energy efficiency in buildings. We take care of integration of electrical and mechanical appliances, security, access control, multimedia and other systems in energy efficient and intelligent buildings. Robotina is one of the leading providers of renewable energy solutions in Slovenia. We have also developed a wide range of equipment and solutions including solar plant supervisory systems, string monitors, control units and application software.

The company does not only offer products but also services and therefore incorporates complete end to end solutions. Services include research and development, prototyping and manufacturing of custom-designed electronic components.

Robotina in the future

In the period up to 2020 and beyond, Robotina seeks to become a leading company in the production of specialized connected control devices and systems on the European and the global market. These goals can be attained with top-quality products and services, innovations, quality user services, and environmentally friendly technologies and products.

To do so, we have invested in development of proprietary technology:

Cybro-I, II and III (Q1/18): distributed control system with all the necessary hardware and software, which makes it very suitable for customization and tailor made solutions to control challenges. It the first IoT programmable controller. SMIP: Cloud (SaaS) enabling platform, which securely communicates with Cybro controllers to bridge the gap between controllers (real world) and Internet (virtual world). With this, we have opened the way to vertically integrated solutions (from sensor to Internet and back).

Our long term plans is to become one of the leading providers of SMART CONNECTED solutions, components and platforms, which will contribute to new models of a connected society.
