How to buy a robotfrom China — and not get burned.
Eight articles of practice with no fluff: how the technology works, what the price really consists of, how to vet a supplier before money moves and what to prepare on site. This guide is our own work laid out in the open: even if you don’t buy from us, at least buy the right way.
01 · Where to start
The buyer’s journey:five steps to a working site.
You don’t have to read everything in order. Find your step — each one has an article or two that answers exactly its questions.
Understand the technology
How AGV differs from AMR, who Pudu, Keenon and Gausium are — and why that matters before you look at prices.
Run the numbers
Payback is calculated before the purchase, not after. An honest formula for the warehouse and a pick for a HoReCa shift.
Vet the supplier
How to read an Alibaba spec sheet, what FAT is, and why documents exist before money moves — not after.
Ship it and clear customs
Lithium batteries, destination-country certification and the document pack — where weeks get lost and how not to lose them.
Prepare the site and launch
Floors, thresholds, Wi-Fi, the charging dock and a trained shift: a third of deployments die right here.
