SARKKIS-Robotics, established in 2010, operates as an engineering-focused company specializing in industrial software for the steel fabrication sector. Originating as a spin-off from the University of Coimbra, the firm maintains strong academic connections to integrate research into its product development. The company has a presence in Porto, Portugal, with offices at UPTEC and industrial R&D facilities in Feira. Its business model centers on providing turn-key robotic-based industrial equipment and a proprietary portfolio of offline programming software. This approach addresses the need for lot-one production capabilities, moving beyond the limitations of traditional monotonic industrial robots.
The company's core offering is the MetroID family of software products, designed for robotized equipment used in the plasma cutting and welding of steel components. This software transforms geometric data from CAD files, such as Tekla®, SDS/2®, or Autodesk™ Revit, into efficient, ready-to-run robot programs without requiring manual teach pendant interaction. Key features include automatic generation of paths, collision-free path planning, and support for various robot brands like ABB, FANUC, and Kuka. For instance, MetroID BeamWELD is a specialized application that creates optimized programs for welding structural profiles and supports the IFC file format, aligning with the digital transformation in the construction industry. By combining robotic path planning algorithms with sensors and augmented reality, SARKKIS enables automation of complex steel transformation tasks.
The company's revenue is generated through the sale of its software and customized robotic systems. It targets the structural steel fabrication market, providing tools that aim to increase productivity and simplify manufacturing processes. On January 1, 2017, the company received a grant of $229K from the European Union.
