Automation fails when infrastructure is an afterthought. Floor flatness tolerances, dedicated power feeds, OT network topology, functional safety architectures, and structural slab specifications must all be engineered before the automation vendor is even selected. TEBIN coordinates MEP, structural, and controls engineering for robotic production lines, AS/RS systems, AGV deployments, and smart factory environments — from first concept to commissioning documentation.

Building
infrastructure
for
machines

Robotics and automation facilities require building infrastructure that is designed around machine requirements — not the other way around. Floor flatness tolerances, power resilience, thermal stability, OT network topology, and safety zone layouts must all be engineered in coordination before construction begins.

We design and coordinate the full engineering scope for robotic production lines, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), AMR and AGV deployments, and smart factory environments — from structural design to controls documentation.

What TEBIN designs
for each automation type

Each automation technology places distinct demands on building power infrastructure, safety systems, structural design, and OT networks. These must be designed before the automation vendor is on board — not negotiated around their installation requirements.

Automation
begins in
the model

The more automated a facility, the less tolerance there is for errors discovered on site. Our BIM methodology resolves conflicts between robot cells, infrastructure, and building systems before fabrication begins.

01

Robot Cell Coordination

We model robot work envelopes, guarding, power drops, data outlets, and service access zones in 3D — ensuring that architectural and MEP design accommodates automation from the earliest stages.

02

OT Network Infrastructure Design

Operational technology network design is documented in BIM alongside power and data routes, enabling procurement and installation teams to work from a single coordinated model.

03

Safety System Integration

Safety interlock logic, emergency stop networks, safety zone fencing, and SIL-rated control interfaces are all designed and documented in coordination with process and mechanical engineers.

04

AGV & Material Flow Interfaces

AGV lanes, floor markings, charging stations, and material handling interfaces are mapped in 3D and coordinated against structural, drainage, and MEP layouts.

infrastructure is an
afterthought
