How we work

We provide craftspeople with intelligent, easy-to-use tools that make it easier to put their capabilities to better use, to achieve more with less effort, and help ensure better working environments – with fewer work-related strains and injuries. We want to simplify key work processes in the construction industry and the building trades, to make them faster, easier and less wearing to do.

Our purpose is to empower people. In everything we do, we empower people. Empowerment is about giving people the best prerequisites for fulfilling their goals and empower them to get a better life.

Work smarter, automated processes, hands-free and voice responsive robots.

Motivate next generation of skilled labour with new technology and smarter working methods.

Rethink waste management and residual materials.

Kobots technology platforms (concrete, factual input/product info from Kobots needed here)
Kobots ”clever hands” tools help construction companies as well as individual craftspeople implement much-needed digitalisation and automation in the building trades. This ensures a better working environment for everyone, at the same time as helping make our industry more people-friendly and sustainable.

Amigo™ technology platform – automates work with routine measuring and cutting jobs involving plasterboard, fibre cement boards and virtually any other type of large, solid material in board format. You do the thinking – the intelligent Amigo cutting head does almost all the hard, repetitive, time-consuming work for you.
You can quickly set up an Amigo cutting board virtually anywhere on any building site – no fancy installation or calibration needed. All you need to run it is a modern smartphone.

Kobots tools put the tradesperson in charge of what’s going on and how it can be done best – empowering you to do more and enjoy your job more.

The founder’s story

The founder of Kobots, Peter Murmann Hartvigsen, notched up more than 20 years’ experience as a carpenter in the Danish construction industry, in positions ranging from jobbing carpenter to entrepreneur.
The one thing he encountered all the time was the time spent on monotonous tasks and simple, manual cutting and lifting operations, in which his skills and experience were not put to full use. The work was often repetitive, and had to be done in dusty, uncomfortable working conditions that are bad for people’s health and general well-being. The effort was wearing him and his colleagues out – as well as wearing them down – and they were all feeling less satisfied with the work they had to do, which was getting increasingly standardised.
Peter reckoned there had to be a better way … (factual input from Kobots/Peter needed here – have borrowed a few bits from Annual Report 2019 page 6)

He wanted to find an easy-to-use practical way for tradespeople (and their employers) to reduce work-related strains and injuries, as well as longer-term musculoskeletal disorders, and the many different kinds of lung and breathing disorder and diseases stemming from inhaling dust.

The end result was the Kobots company, providing powerful, easy-to-use tools that are big on results and very low on effort and health risk, bringing you safely through your day-to-day work. The aim was – and still is – to serve you safely and efficiently, so that when you want or need to retire, you can enjoy your retirement in full, instead of being bothered by physical ailments caused by the work you had to do.

We want to help prevent all this, and add meaning and value to your working life every day, by taking good care of you while you’re doing your job.

We design and develop technology platforms and tools aimed at making people’s lives better.

We want the work we do to impact people’s lives in a positive and inspiring way. We continue that distinctive mindset in our own company, focusing on making it pleasurable, productive and satisfying to work here.

Our “company culture” is of utmost importance to us – we’re determined to provide a creative, supportive and inclusive environment for our staff. We’re not a big company (yet), and we all work as an enthusiastic team in which everyone’s talents and contributions count – and are valued.
