About RoboCon
RoboCon's construction systems move rebar preparation into automated production workflows. ARON covers processing, while ANTON addresses pre-assembly of reinforcement structures. Its equipment includes containerised processing plants, coil straightening and cutting lines, bending systems and robotic assembly of meshes and cages, allowing fabrication to be organised near a project or in an off-site plant.
RGB, infrared and 3D vision identify material positions, intersections and welding points, while coordinated robots handle and assemble the workpieces. RoboCon's RPM production-management software and OPC/MES connections link equipment to production data and remote support. The company applies the same sensing, handling and control capabilities to steelmaking, logistics and other industrial processes through customer-specific automation systems.
