Service Unit 3 - Custom Equipment and Robotics
One very serious difference between Saber and our competitors is the fact that we design and implement much of the custom equipment and associated hardware ourselves. Most system integrators provide only a single dimension of software and/or electrical services. Saber takes things to the next step by providing in-house mechanical design and build services to support the automation project.
