Realizing Cutting-Edge Functionality at Scale
Intelligent robotics is driving a massive shift toward automation in sectors previously resistant to automation, but successful deployment requires more than just cutting-edge software and algorithms. The hardware behind physical AI must live up to the autonomy stack behind it.
Benchmark delivers deep engineering and manufacturing expertise critical to advanced robotic systems. Together, we create the vertical integration you need, built around your IP, allowing you to rapidly deliver value to your customers, by:
Engineering the numerous, complex, critical functions now expected from modern systems
Developing the hardware to reliably back your autonomy stack
Quickly responding to demand shifts and complex change orders with flexible production scaling and support
Delivering supply chain support and sustainment services to secure your Bill of Materials (BOM) under one roof
We are your end-to-end robotic product realization partner. Let Benchmark handle the hardware and rapidly secure your position in a booming intelligent robotics market.

Even if your IP lies outside the world of hardware, you will still need to compete with others offering advanced capabilities. Benchmark brings your system to the forefront with deep in-house engineering expertise including:
Advanced electrical design for high-speed, high-frequency, high-power requirements where autonomous decision-making and throughput matter
Precision optics engineering expertise and manufacturing platforms for custom, miniaturized sensing and energy delivery applications
Precision machining and assembly capable of creating complex designs for unique applications such as custom end-effectors, miniaturized sensor housings, and compact fluid, gas, and electrical channels
Regardless of whether you need custom hardware or COTS components, functionality is more than just advanced perception and response. Benchmark ensures your autonomy stack performs better, through engineering and manufacturing excellence, including:
Sensor fusion optimization to ensure diverse data from many sensors arrives synchronized and on time
Edge computing expertise including design and manufacturing for signal and power integrity to ensure low latency, high-performance intelligence
Ultimately, cutting-edge functionality must work as part of a broader robotic system, whether it is on-board software or a cloud-based fleet management system. Benchmark ensures your hardware is seamlessly incorporated into your larger product ecosystem for an unbeatable user experience, with:
Design for usability, combining industrial design, functionality analysis, and Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) design for a comprehensive focus on the user
Vertically integratedtest development from Design Verification Test (DVT), In-Circuit Test (ICT), Functional Circuit Test (FCT), though subsystem, full-system functional testing and Failure Analysis (FA) for complete confidence in your system
Embedded software, firmware, and cybersecurity development built to interface with your fleet management systems to maximize security and minimize operational downtime
Many times, a robotic system needs to meet aggressive cost, size, and performance goals. We help you hit your targets with:
System integration to create an appropriate blend of custom and COTS components to meet your goals
Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) reductions for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)
Whether you need to create an advanced industrial robot for a high-demand factory, a self-contained pharmaceutical kiosk for life sciences laboratories, or a ruggedized autonomous vehicle for extreme environments, Benchmark has the experience and capabilities in place to facilitate hardware NPI.
Manufacturing, supply chain, and regulatory considerations should be brought directly into initial project conversations, regardless of technology readiness stage. Benchmark brings your systems to market smoothly and quickly so you can capture market share and meet your promise to your customers with:
Thoughtful Design for Excellence (DFx) to align designs and manufacturing capabilities
Flexible automation for real cost savings and rapid response to change orders with limited-volume production
Industry-leading Process Feedback System (PFS) and Shop Floor Control System (SFCS) for secure information sharing across engineering and production sites to efficiently improve designs and processes
Strict information security practices to ensure the security and integrity of customer data and IP
Regulatory compliance built in from the beginning to exceed industrial, medical, and defense standards
Partnering with Benchmark offers the value you would expect from a diversified global manufacturing services company, with the level of responsiveness and expertise you would expect from a boutique robotics engineering firm. We continue to invest in skills and facilities that support both significant and small-scale robotics manufacturing. With engineering and manufacturing sites across North America, Europe, and Asia capable of supporting complex electromechanical systems and precision sensors, Benchmark is ready to scale your product to meet rising demand.
