    Frequently asked questions

    What is a robotics franchise?

    A robotics franchise lets you run a local business that sells, installs and supports collaborative robots (cobots) under an established brand. With SMERT you get an exclusive territory, the integration know-how, training and a support network, so you can serve restaurants, factories, warehouses and care providers in your area.

    Do I need a robotics or engineering background?

    No. Training and certification are included in every SMERT franchise tier at no extra fee. You learn sales, site assessment, installation and safety procedures, and you are backed by 24/7 online assistance and a global technician network.

    Which territories are available?

    Territories are offered by city, region or country, with master and sub-franchise tiers. Availability changes as territories are taken, so contact us to check your area.

    Is SMERT a robot manufacturer?

    SMERT is a cobot systems integrator headquartered in Hong Kong with a US entity in Delaware. We integrate robot arms from established manufacturers into complete, application-specific cobot cells and validate them in our Hong Kong lab before deployment.

    How is an automated franchise different from a normal franchise?

    Instead of selling one consumer product, a robotics franchise sells automation to other businesses: cobot workstations, kitchen and barista cells, inspection and computer vision. Revenue comes from installations, service plans and recurring support.
