At Revtech Systèmes, our pre-engineering service supports you through the critical first steps of any robotics, automation, or machine vision integration project. **The goal:** define your real needs, validate feasibility, and lay the groundwork for a solution that is efficient, practical, and cost-effective. ## Why Invest in Pre-Engineering? Automating a process without a clear overall vision comes with major risks: cost overruns, delays, and missed performance targets. Pre-engineering helps you: - Clarify your needs and objectives - Validate technical and economic feasibility - Compare multiple technology options - Structure the project with clear, costed phases - Build a professional and detailed specifications document [Get in touch with a robotics expert](https://revtechsys.com/en/start-your-project?hsLang=en) ![pre-ingenierie](https://revtechsys.com/hubfs/robotique-3d-ingenierie.jpg "pre-ingenierie") ## Our Pre-Engineering Approach – Step by Step 1. **Needs Analysis** Identify key challenges, constraints, product types, volumes, and desired levels of automation. 2. **On-Site Diagnostic** Site visit, measurements, observation of flows and interactions, and documentation of existing processes. 3. **Ideation & Technology Exploration** Development of several robotic solution concepts, performance expectations, and possible configurations. 4. **Technical Pre-Validation** 3D modeling, feasibility testing or simulations, and preliminary selection of technologies (robots, vision systems, conveyors, etc.). 5. **Economic Evaluation** Estimated costs, return on investment analysis, and comparison of solution options. 6. **Project Planning** Phase breakdown, preliminary timeline, estimated budget, and strategic recommendations. 7. **Delivery of the Pre-Engineering Report** A clear, structured document—ready to support calls for tenders, funding applications, or project execution. ![service robotique pré-ingénierie](https://revtechsys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/robotique-3d-ingenierie-service.jpg?width=800&height=600&name=robotique-3d-ingenierie-service.jpg "service robotique pré-ingénierie") --- ## Client Case: Food Processing Company **A food processing company is looking to automate a strategic step of its production process to meet three key objectives:** - Reduce product rejection rates caused by poor positioning - Improve precision, which is currently managed by mechanical guidance and manual intervention often leading to non-conformities - Lower production costs by reducing reliance on manual labor for this operation ![Robot trieur pour alimentaire](https://revtechsys.com/hubfs/robot-trieur-alimentaire-tomate-patate.jpg "Robot trieur pour alimentaire") ## Revtech Systems Involvement Revtech supported the project through a structured pre-engineering and techno-economic analysis approach: - **Process assessment:** Full review of the current workflow, observation of manual handling steps, and identification of the root causes of non-conformities - **Measurement and constraint analysis:** Validation of product dimensions, tolerances, throughput rates, and physical characteristics - **Cycle time evaluation:** Comparison of current cycle times vs. what's needed to support projected growth - **Pre-engineering brief:** A detailed document outlining functional requirements, technical inputs, critical constraints, performance targets, and budget ranges - **Preliminary concept development:** Robot cell design combining robotics, gripping, machine vision, and interface integration with existing equipment - **Cycle time simulation:** Virtual validation to confirm that the proposed concepts can meet throughput and precision targets - **Budget and timeline proposal:** Progressive and realistic project plan based on validated concepts - **Full techno-economic evaluation:** ROI analysis factoring in labor cost savings, waste reduction, and increased production capacity **Project Results** Thanks to Revtech’s structured technical and economic analysis, the company was able to quickly validate the project and make an informed decision. A solid technical specification document now ensures alignment with vendors, paving the way for implementation. **Project Highlights** - Expected rejection rate reduction: **\> 50%** - Target product positioning accuracy: **±1 mm** - Estimated labor reduction: **1 to 2 operators per shift** - Estimated ROI: **\< 18 months** **Conclusion** This project illustrates how a well-structured pre-engineering and simulation process can do more than just build a solid solution it also helps secure leadership buy-in with clear, tangible data. Revtech acts as a catalyst between your performance goals and the right technology solutions, tailored to your specific context. #### Our Trusted Partners [![universal-robots](https://revtechsys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(77).png?width=250&height=125&name=Untitled%20design%20(77).png)](https://www.universal-robots.com/) [![abb](https://revtechsys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-abb.png?width=250&height=125&name=logo-abb.png)](https://new.abb.com/products/robotics) [![Vention Automation Partner](https://revtechsys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-vention.png?width=375&height=188&name=logo-vention.png)](https://vention.io/) [![yaskawa](https://revtechsys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-yaskawa.png?width=250&height=125&name=logo-yaskawa.png)](https://www.motoman.com/en-us) [![robotiq](https://revtechsys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-robotiq-1.png?width=250&height=125&name=logo-robotiq-1.png)](https://robotiq.com/) [![omron](https://revtechsys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-omron.png?width=250&height=125&name=logo-omron.png)](https://automation.omron.com/en/us/) [![mir](https://revtechsys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-mir.png?width=250&height=125&name=logo-mir.png)](https://www.mobile-industrial-robots.com/) [![fanuc](https://revtechsys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-fanuc.png?width=250&height=125&name=logo-fanuc.png)](https://www.fanucamerica.com/) [![halcon](https://revtechsys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(85).png?width=250&height=125&name=Untitled%20design%20(85).png)](https://www.mvtec.com/products/halcon) FAQs ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### [QUESTION What is the cost of a pre-engineering study?](https://revtechsys.com/en/pre-engineering-for-robotics-automation-projects#collapse1-dnd_area-module-6) The cost varies depending on the project’s complexity, but a typical mandate ranges between **$7,000 and $25,000**. ##### [QUESTION How long does a pre-engineering study take?](https://revtechsys.com/en/pre-engineering-for-robotics-automation-projects#collapse2-dnd_area-module-6) Typically between **2 to 6 weeks**, depending on data availability and the number of required site visits. ##### [QUESTION Can Revtech also carry out the project afterward?](https://revtechsys.com/en/pre-engineering-for-robotics-automation-projects#collapse3-dnd_area-module-6) Yes.
