SPS Group × Humanoid

Together, we automate the last mile.

SPS brings the industrial access, integration and service. Humanoid brings the robot platform and embodied intelligence. Together, we can turn flexible physical AI into a dependable production solution.

02 / SPS Group

One partner from idea to production

Since 1992, SPS has engineered, built and supported complete automation systems for manufacturers in Europe and Asia.

What we do

Mechanics, controls and software come together in one working production system.

Why it matters

Customers get one accountable team from first concept through commissioning and service.

Real machines. Live production.

This is our work, filmed in customer plants. A humanoid would stand right beside these machines, on the same line.

SPS showreel

Robotic finishing on a rail vehicle body

A robotic system applies exact edge quality on painted rail car panels. SPS develops, builds and commissions systems like this end to end, including the robot cell, safety and controls.

02 / 03
Aluminium production

Code marking at up to 250 °C

Sensors and marking heads work directly inside a continuous aluminium line. This machine data is exactly what a connected humanoid needs to monitor the line and act on what it sees.

03 / 03
Special machinery

Spin welding special machine

Another SPS special machine joins parts by spin welding. It shows the breadth of machinery SPS delivers, every one a place where a connected humanoid could monitor and assist.

04 / Why SPS for Humanoid

A faster path from robot to revenue

We make it easier to get Humanoid robots into real production, set them up and keep them supported. Every successful pilot opens the next plant.

Real production access

Enter proven industrial environments through SPS customer relationships and installed automation lines.

Faster validation

Move from demonstration to a measurable pilot with defined tasks, interfaces and success criteria.

Integration without overhead

Use SPS engineering, commissioning and lifecycle service instead of building every local capability alone.

A repeatable route to scale

Turn validated applications into options for new projects, retrofits and multi site rollouts.

Humanoid already has enterprise programs moving: Siemens and Schaeffler are partners, SAP pilots an automotive logistics use case, Bosch builds part of the fleet. Those projects land in large plants with their own automation teams. Mid sized manufacturers across Austria and Europe buy their machines from companies like SPS instead. We walk into those plants, speak the language of the plant floor and stay for the whole life of the machine.

How the deal works

You build the robot. We bring it to the plant.

Humanoid keeps the platform and everything inside it. We take the customer, the engineering and the service contract. One offer, one partner on site, and every rollout earns both of us.

SPS feeds the machine data from the line. KinetIQ turns it into decisions and actions, across one robot or a whole fleet.

01

Sell

We bring the customers and shape one offer together

02

Integrate

We wire it into the line, connect it to KinetIQ and handle safety and commissioning

03

Scale

Each rollout adds robot sales, engineering and service

05 / First pilot

Start with one line. Grow from there.

We pick one clear task on one proven line. What it delivers decides how far the humanoid’s role grows and whether more sites follow.

Gate to scale: safe operation, task success, recovery time and commercial viability.

  1. 01

    Define

    Select one installed process and map tasks, safety boundaries, machine data and commercial value.

    2 weeks

  2. 02

    Prove

    Integrate one humanoid beside an SPS line for monitoring, machine operation and defined exception handling.

    6 to 10 weeks

    Measured technical proof

06 / Leadership

The team behind the line

+160

colleagues build, wire, program and service these machines. The three of them stand for a company that delivers whole lines, not single components.

07 / Next step

Let’s scope the first line together.

In one focused session we pick the first pilot, one that is safe to run, easy to measure and worth the investment.
