Portable, adaptive automation

Constela FlexCell

A robotic automation cell you can move, set down and put to work without building a fixed line around it.

The problem

Conventional automation needs custom fixtures, installation, programming and calibration before it does anything useful. For short runs and changing tasks, that effort rarely pays back.

Our approach

FlexCell packages a compact manipulator, vision, edge computing and interchangeable tooling in a portable frame with standard power and communication connections. Vision-assisted part location and guided calibration reduce the commissioning work.

What we are building first

Find one repetitive task where portability or faster commissioning has a measurable payoff, then build a feasibility demonstration around that task alone.

Applications under study

  • Repetitive component handling
  • Inspection and sorting
  • Small assembly operations
  • Laboratory automation
  • Equipment testing
