Newtech Achieves Certified Robot Integrator Status

Newtech is delighted to announce that we have successfully achieved Certified Robot Integrator status, awarded by Automate UK in association with BARA, the British Automation & Robot Association. This prestigious accreditation represents the culmination of a comprehensive and rigorous independent audit of our operational procedures, project delivery standards and safety practices, and places Newtech among an elite group of UK robotic systems integrators who have met the highest industry benchmarks.

What is the Automate UK / BARA Robot Integrator Standard?

The Automate UK Robot Integrator Standard is the definitive benchmark for evaluating a robot integrator’s ability to create and deliver quality robotic solutions and services that fulfil the needs of UK robot users. Developed by Automate UK alongside BARA and peer-reviewed by industry members, the standard covers the full spectrum of robot integration services – from design, manufacture and assembly through to programming, installation and aftersales support.

Certification requires an independent onsite audit by an Automate UK approved auditor, assessing both operational safety and project processes. Recertification is required every two years, with surveillance audits in intervening years, ensuring that certified companies maintain their standards over time.

What This Means for Our Customers

For businesses considering a robotic automation investment, choosing a Certified Robot Integrator provides a clear and independent assurance of quality. It means that every stage of your project – from the initial design concept through to installation, commissioning and ongoing support – will be delivered by a team whose processes have been independently verified against the UK’s most rigorous industry standard.

At Newtech, we have always held ourselves to the highest standards. This certification confirms, through independent audit, what our customers have known for over three decades: that we are a trusted, technically excellent partner for intelligent automation projects.

A Word from Our Managing Director

“Achieving Certified Robot Integrator status is a landmark moment for Newtech and one I am enormously proud of. Robotics and intelligent automation are at the very heart of what we do, and this certification sends a clear signal to our customers that when they choose Newtech, they are working with a company that has been independently verified to meet the highest standards in the industry. This could not have been achieved without the hard work and unwavering commitment of our entire team, and I want to take this opportunity to thank every one of them.”
