From product design to market-ready robot technology

Reduce risk, time, and development costs by integrating safety and legal requirements into your robotics development right from the start – through independent, tailored consultancy and testing.


Preparing your robotics technology to comply with current regulatory requirements and harmonised standards is key to achieving documented market readiness and a successful launch.

When safety and compliance are integrated from the very beginning of robotics development, you reduce the need for costly redesigns, minimise development risk, and ensure a faster time to market.

Danish Technological Institute (DTI) offers holistic, end-to-end consultancy for startups, SMEs, and established robotics companies.

We support you throughout the entire process – from initial strategic clarification to final testing and documentation of your robot – or through targeted, individual modules tailored to your current needs.
 

1. Compliance clarification and robotics roadmap

Get a clear overview of your robotics product's path to market. We conduct an initial standards clarification and GAP analysis, highlighting relevant directives, required tasks, priorities, and a realistic budget and timeline for your compliance efforts.


2. Legislation, CE marking, and robotics standards

Build a solid regulatory foundation. We help you identify and interpret the specific EU legislation and harmonised robotics standards your technology must comply with, helping you avoid dead ends in the R&D phase.


3. Risk assessment

We provide a comprehensive overview of what risk assessment is, why it is so crucial for your development process, and show you practical examples of how to carry it out in practice.


4. Compliance by design and process management

Embed safety directly into your R&D processes. We help you build an effective "Compliance by Design" model featuring Stage-Gate milestones, clear role distribution, change management, and release procedures that ensure high robotic quality and full traceability.


5. Safe design

We discuss specific design choices in both mechanical and electrical solutions that address issues regarding typical physical risks such as pinching, entrapment, and collision.


6. Evaluation of safety sensor alternatives

Gain insight into different types of sensors for executing safety-relevant risk reduction. To ensure you choose the right technology for your application, DTI can lend you sensors to test in a practical workshop before purchasing.


7. Testing and measurement

Document compliance through precise testing and advanced measurement equipment.

We offer:

• Measurement of Cartesian position and orientation in time series.
• Force measurements in accordance with ISO TS15066:2016 and ISO PAS 5672:2023.
• Measurement of braking time and stopping distance.
• Black test specimens for testing safety scanner performance.
• Technical assistance for stability testing on inclined surfaces.


8. Requirements specification

Getting a grip on your requirements is key to a successful product launch. We provide a thorough introduction to requirements management. This covers the requirements you set for your suppliers, your internal design requirements, and the requirements your customers must meet.


9. Cybersecurity

Protect your machine or safety system against digital threats and compromise. We introduce the rules of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the Machinery Regulation, linking them to standards such as EN 50742 or IEC 62443.


End-to-end consultancy tailored to your needs

With our comprehensive consultancy model, DTI can guide you all the way from the initial idea to a fully documented and market-ready robotics product.

At the same time, the model is flexible: You can select precisely the modules and services that support your current stage of development and your internal resources.

Whether you need an exploratory workshop, specialised assistance with testing and measurement, or certification of AI-based safety, our experts are ready to help.
