About HowToRobot
HowToRobot is a Danish planning and sourcing platform for industrial automation headquartered in Roskilde. The company was founded in 2017, initially as a consultancy for automation decisions, and today offers a platform that guides manufacturers from the first automation candidate through to validated supplier selection: identification of worthwhile automation tasks using AI, creation of supplier-ready RFIs, anonymous market sounding, comparison of budgetary quotes and decision preparation. The network comprises more than 20,000 vetted automation suppliers in over 72 countries; more than 600 projects have been validated. Via the product catalog with more than 500 entries, ready-made robotics solutions – from welding cells to machine tending, automated guided vehicles and palletizing systems – can be sourced directly, complemented by Expert Services (Assess, Scope, Compare) and referral of financing partners. Offices are located in Roskilde (DK), London (UK) and Franklin, TN (USA).
