Eiratech Robotics is the innovator of a mobile goods-to-person robotics automation platform for the Intelligent Supply Chain and Smart Factories. We leverage Platform-Based Design to enable multiple applications on its platform, including e-fulfilment (Intelligent Supply Chain) and shop floor digital transformation (materials handling, kitting, sorting and etc).

Eiratech way: 4-step approach to digitalisation
Formation: Translating existing processes by integrating Eiraparts™ software with
existing ERP/MRP/MES introducing standardised support hardware infrastructure.
Evolution: Expanding the digital work-flow to the sortation of components
on the shop floor for the direct line feed and kitting operations.
Optimisation: Automation of the internal warehouse ‘supermarket’
with Eirabots™.
Transformation: Automation of the shop floor logistics
using Eirabots™.

Eiraparts™ – Materials Handling system that…
• enables Mass Customisation to
build individual products efficiently
in a short time – Lot Size 1
• fuels smart factory by employing
Eirabots™ to move and track
components as they work their
way through the assembly line and
into the hands of their customers
• decreases delivery time of the
finished product
14. 14
• operates in real time giving full track
and trace abilities at all times
• delivers real cost savings through
enhanced efficiencies
• is flexible and scalable allowing the
system grow with the operation
• optimises inventory level both in
storage and on the shop floor

Eirasystem – complete solution with open API
Fleet of Eirabots
individual mobile units that
navigate their way around the
busy warehouse to bring the
correct racks to the picking
stations.
Shuttle racks
900 x 900 x 2’000mm racks
that can be lifted and moved
by the Eirabots. Optimally
designed to get the best out of
the space available. SKU’s are
spread over a variety of racks.
Eirasoft
Robotic Material Handling
Solution which processes
the data into its database
and coordinates the
Eirabots.
Picking station(s)
controls which items enter
and leave the ‘warehouse’.
The Eirabots bring the racks
to the picking station which
indicates which cell the
required item is located in.

We grew out of a team of diverse
professionals from the leading Irish,
Russian and US companies with experience in
industrial automation, warehousing robotics,
intelligent hardware sensors, robotics vision
and artificial neural networking.
Many of the team have robotics experience
and as such recognised that their research
collectively had the potential to radically
transform the supply-chain industry.
Eiratech was formed to bring the latest digital
technological developments in robotics to the
people working in material handling
industry.
