    The moat

    "Why not just buy the arm direct from the manufacturer?"

    Because a robotic arm is not a business. The manufacturer ships hardware. SMERT ships a working revenue line: perception software, an AI-native operating system, qualified demand, territory rights, certification and service.

    Buying direct

    • A crate with an arm, controller and teach pendant
    • Generic SDK β€” no task-trained computer vision
    • No customers. You prospect from zero
    • No CRM, ticketing, invoicing or fleet software
    • You are importer, integrator and liable party
    • No territory protection β€” your competitor buys the same arm

    The SMERT franchise

    • Cobot + gripper or bionic hand + edge compute, pre-integrated
    • Task-trained computer-vision models per vertical, updated continuously
    • A lead engine that delivers qualified, booked meetings
    • Nine-system AI-native OS, 24/7, 15 languages
    • Official manufacturer partnership β€” worldwide technical assistance
    • Exclusive named territory, contractually protected

    The six barriers a self-builder has to cross

    01

    Proprietary computer vision

    In-house models developed per task family β€” personal hygiene, care assistance, hospitality service, inspection. Built on 3.5 years of founder-led robotics and perception research, moving into validation at our Hong Kong R&D Lab (Tsim Sha Tsui, opening 2026).

    02

    Task-level safety validation & per-install sign-off

    The arm's own speed and force limits are standard β€” every buyer gets those. Proving your specific installation is safe is not: our validation test rig, a documented validation run per deployment, and NRTL/TÜV sign-off, with our entity carrying the liability.

    03

    The AI-native OS

    Sales, service, fleet routing, support, invoicing, payroll and reporting on one AI layer β€” replacing eight separate SaaS subscriptions.

    04

    Demand generation

    We generate and route the leads. The same sales-generation engine sells externally at US$5,000/month; franchisees get it inside the fee.

    05

    Certification & liability

    CE, ISO 10218 alignment, NRTL/TÜV per-install sign-off, EU and US entities acting as importer and integrator of record, two-invoice hardware/service split.

    06

    Territory & sub-licensing

    Exclusive named geography, plus the right for Masters to sub-license cities β€” an asset a direct buyer can never own.

    Even with AI doing most of the coding, building the same capability yourself costs roughly US$180k–320k and 9–14 months: a CV/ML engineer, an integration engineer, tooling and compute, certification, and the cost of finding your first ten customers β€” and you still start with no customers, no data and no territory. A franchise fee buys that work already built, certified and running. The manufacturer sells you a robot. We sell you the business the robot works inside.

    SMERT Care Β· Recurring MRR

    Subscription 30% to you, labor 85% to you

    Franchisees resell SMERT Care to their end-users. On the monthly subscription, the Franchisor keeps 70% to fund the spare-parts pool (normal wear included), remote NOC, software and CV updates, and logistics β€” you keep 30% as pure margin, zero cost of goods. On top of that, your technician bills the customer a flat US$ 140/hour for on-site visits: you keep 85%, the Franchisor takes a 15% platform management fee.

    CobotBasic MRRFranchisor 70%Franchisee 30%
    SMERT E05$135$95$41
    SMERT E12$220$154$66
    SMERT S30$270$189$81

    Same 70/30 subscription split applies to Plus and Premium tiers. Fleet discounts of 10%/20% pass through proportionally. Technician labor billed separately at US$ 140/hr (85% Franchisee / 15% Franchisor).
