Brescia robotics integrator building turnkey industrial and cobot cells, differentiating on DELMIA-based virtual commissioning before anything is installed.
Robot At Work S.r.l., which trades as RAW, is an Italian robotics system integrator based at Via Primo Maggio 40/E in Rovato, in the province of Brescia. The company dates its founding to 2017 and was entered in the Brescia business register on 19 January 2018 as an innovative startup, under ATECO code 28992, the manufacture of multipurpose industrial robots for special purposes. It is led by Lorenzo Codini as president and Rossella Codini as managing director, employed 26 people as of 2026, and reported revenue of EUR 4.65 million for 2025, against EUR 3.8 million in 2022.
The company began by supplying collaborative robots to other integrators and to end users, and became a distributor for OnRobot grippers in 2018. From 2019 it broadened its catalogue across the major robot manufacturers and moved into turnkey integration, so that it now designs and builds complete production cells rather than only supplying components. Four lines make up the current offering: standard robotic cells built around conventional industrial arms; collaborative cells built around cobots; Visual Check, its machine-vision inspection systems; and virtual commissioning.
Virtual commissioning is where the company has concentrated its differentiation. From 2020 it invested in digital-twin software, in 2021 it began delivering through the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in collaboration with Dassault Systemes, and in 2024 it became an official Dassault Systemes partner. It builds and validates a production line in simulation before anything is installed, using DELMIA for robot simulation and virtual commissioning on the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform, with SOLIDWORKS in the design office. Because the simulation is brand-agnostic, the company compares candidate robots from different manufacturers inside the model before committing to one. Results it reports from this approach include cutting the floor area of a twelve-cell plant by a quarter, reducing the quality-monitoring cameras on an assembly unit from five to one, and turning production-cycle changes around within a day. The company also says the revenue of its robotics line doubled in a single year.
Target sectors named by the company are automotive, assembly and testing, palletising, foundries, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, aerospace, and food and beverage. It also positions itself around Italian and regional digitalisation grant programmes, maintaining a section of its site dedicated to public calls that customers can use to fund automation projects.
In December 2023 the listed industrial group Gefran S.p.A. acquired a 24.83 per cent stake for EUR 576,000. The investment was explicitly a minority one and Robot At Work continues to operate independently; Gefran framed it as vertical integration into manufacturing process automation. The agreement does contain call and put options exercisable within one year of approval of Robot At Work's 2027 accounts, and the call would add a further 30 per cent to Gefran's holding at a price set by a formula in the agreement. That option, if exercised, would take Gefran past majority control, so the company's independence has a defined horizon that buyers and partners should be aware of.
For a directory user the company sits in a specific niche: a small Brescia-based integrator whose selling point is not a proprietary robot but the ability to prove out a line in simulation before building it, backed by a Dassault Systemes partnership and by a listed industrial shareholder.
