Meet — Founder, EZRobotix · Kitchener, Ontario · Remote North America
Controls & robotics technologist (9+ years). Field background in automotive paint/weld and food robotics (ABB, FANUC, Nachi, Rockwell, Ignition). I build software for the shop floor — and still do the programming work myself.
What I sell (three clear offers)
1) Machine Audit Sprint — $4,900 fixed · 10 business days · one machine cell · fully remote
You send PLC backup (Allen-Bradley L5X or Siemens TIA), robot backup (ABB if present), electrical drawings, and manuals. You get an evidence-backed Machine Audit Report built for your controls engineer to review and sign: machine graph, per-device factsheets with source evidence, and residuals flagged honestly (never guessed). No site visit. No install. No production interruption.
This is not a chatbot. A deterministic controls engine reads your artifacts; language models do not decide facts.
$4,900 is 100% credited toward an on-prem Factory Copilot pilot or install within 6 months.
2) Factory Copilot — on-prem / air-gapped controls copilot
Same engine, live on your network: stitches PLC backups, robot backups, drawings, and manuals into a traceable machine model. Read-only on the control layer. AI only narrates grounded answers.
- Copilot Box (one-time): Starter $8,000 · Performance $15,000 · Enterprise $35,000
- Software: Full Controls Bundle $12,000 per machine / year
- 90-day paid Pilot: $7,500 (1 machine, Full Bundle, loaner Box S) — 100% credited to year-one
Integrators: 20% reseller margin on software + resellable pilot. See public Pricing Guide on my profile.
3) Fleet Management — open-source (ABB + FANUC)
One dashboard to monitor, back up, and version-control robot programs. Free software. Optional remote install/configuration support at my hourly rate ($95/hr).
Github: https://github.com/mpatel1962/fleet-management
Also available: ABB/RobotStudio, FANUC/RoboGuide, Rockwell/Omron PLC + FactoryTalk HMI, Ignition/OPC UA, vision-guided cells — offline simulations, programming and ons-site install hourly at profile rate.
OEM note: Production backup parsers today support Rockwell, Siemens, and ABB robots. Drawings and manuals are vendor-agnostic; additional OEM backup support is expanding. Bring your stack!
How buyers usually start: Machine Audit Sprint on one painful cell → credited Pilot → on-prem Copilot.
