What We Do
Relling builds and deploys turnkey, AI-native robot workcells for American manufacturers, targeting high-mix, contact-rich production tasks that conventional automation struggles to handle. Its systems automate assembly, machine tending, finishing, kitting, welding, and inspection—work that classical automation cannot economically handle. Cells are scoped and qualified off-site, then run on US factory floors in weeks, bringing physical AI into practical manufacturing operations.
