Each robot cell on one record, from reach study and quote to factory test, site handover and service.
Cell enquiries, reach and singularity checks, quotations, scope changes, bought-in arms and servo grippers, positioner welding, programme images, factory acceptance and site commissioning all hang from one cell record. It keeps the quoted scope, every approved change, the status of bought-in kit and each test result from the first site walk until the customer signs for handover. Sales, design, workshop and commissioning read the same page.
- Arm, servo gripper, safety scanner and labour rates keyed the way your estimators price a cell
- Running projects, supplier lists and your installed cell register brought in from your workbooks
- Acceptance sheets adjusted by GullySystem staff on request
Quote revisions, approved variations, arm and vacuum gripper orders, positioner and weld-frame build, controller backups and the signed SAT sheet sit in one GullySystem cell record. Final cost is read against the baseline quote. A disputed extra gets answered from the record, not from old emails.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Enquiry and cycle study
The customer’s part, rate and floor layout are logged, and engineers add reach and wrist inertia checks, payload against tool weight, the chosen arm and every open question. Nothing stays in a head.
- 2
Quotation and baseline
Arm, controller cabinet, end-of-arm tooling, safeguarding, programming and site hours are priced, and on order the scope is frozen as a baseline. Later changes are measured against it.
- 3
Design and procurement
Mechanical, electrical and safety drawings are released with a revision letter, and arms, grippers, vision cameras, strobes and safety relays are ordered and tracked against the cell. Orders show which drawing revision they came from.
- 4
Workshop build
Frame fabrication, positioner welding, fixture machining, panel wiring, trunking and mechanical assembly run as stages with an owner, a date and booked hours. An overrun shows while the bay is still busy.
- 5
Programming and pre-acceptance
Programmers load the programme, calibrate the vision fiducial, save a controller backup, then the cell runs parts while cycle time, rejects and safety checks are recorded for every run. Weak spots appear before the customer arrives.
- 6
Site work and handover
The cell is shipped, reassembled, levelled on shims and fixed with epoxy anchors, then tested, and operator training, the as-built pack and the signed acceptance close the project. Handover is a record, not a handshake.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Quote & Proposal Management
Cells are priced from arm, tooling, guarding and engineering lines, and each quote revision stays on file for comparison with the one before.
- Workflow and Approvals
A change to part geometry or a safety zone is priced and approved by named people before any drawing is reissued to the workshop.
- Project Document Management
Layouts, fixture drawings, schematics and risk assessments are filed per cell with revision and approval, so site and workshop use one set.
- Purchase Order Management
Arm, servo gripper and vision sensor orders are placed against the cell and tracked from promised date to goods received.
- Project Timelines with Gantt Charts
Design, build, pre-acceptance and site stages sit on a timeline, so a late positioner or controller cabinet shows which stages it holds back.
- Quality Control
Cycle time, reject rate and light curtain checks are written per cell and recorded run by run until the customer signs.
- Project Time Tracking
Engineers book hours to the cell and phase, so extra days spent re-teaching pick points at the customer’s plant reach the project cost.
- Asset AMC Tracking
Delivered cells are kept as assets with serial numbers, spare bellows cups, encoder batteries and contract dates, so each support call starts with that history.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For sales and estimating
Price palletiser, welding and machine-tending cells from past projects and follow every quote revision, so the customer sees what moved since the first figure. Margin stays in view.
For project managers
Read scope, approved changes, kit status and hours for each cell in one place, and see where a late arm will push the handover date. Plan the week from it.
For mechanical and electrical designers
Release mechanical and electrical drawings with a revision letter, and see which purchase orders and workshop jobs depend on each one before a change is made. Old sheets are easy to spot.
For robot programmers
Log programme versions and backups, then run the acceptance steps from a screen beside the cell, with the light curtain, interlock gate and e-stop checks listed in order. Results stay with the run.
For commissioning engineers
See the site visit plan, open points, spare bellows cups and gripper fingers before leaving the workshop, and book hours and expenses before leaving the plant. Each snag keeps its owner.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Quoted hours against booked hours by cost head
- Change requests by status, value and cell
- Bought-in arms and servo grippers due and received
- Engineer hours by project and phase
- FAT and SAT results against takt time targets
- Installed cells with contract expiry dates
- Open snag points by customer site
Who this is built for.
- Integrators building MIG welding cells with spatter guards, palletiser cells and machine-tending cells
- Firms that fit robots to injection moulding presses and press brake lines
- Integrators that supply cells with vision guidance and laser safety scanners
- Companies that retrofit robots or cobots to older CNC lathes and presses
- Teams that support installed cells under service contracts
When it is not the right choice.
- A company that only resells robots from one maker will find Industrial Repair Management Software or a dealer product closer.
- A firm that builds special assembly machines without robots is better served by Automation Equipment Manufacturer Management Software.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Can we keep the original quote and still price changes?
Yes. The baseline is saved at order, each change request carries its own price and approval, and the cell shows original and revised totals together for any disputed extra.
Does it manage robot programmes?
It records programme versions, backup files, tool centre points, user frames and the engineer who loaded each one onto a named controller. Offline simulation stays in the robot maker’s software.
How is a late robot shown on the schedule?
The bought-in kit lines carry promised dates, and when an arm slips the cell timeline shows which stages cannot start, such as pedestal mounting or cabinet power-up. Planners see the gap early.
Can acceptance be recorded on a tablet at site?
Yes. The test sheet opens in a browser on a tablet at the cell, with the interlock gate and muting checks in order. Where the plant has no signal, results are entered when the connection returns. The customer signs on the screen.
Does it handle machine safety documents?
Risk assessments, safety validation reports and CE file pages are stored and linked to the cell, while their content and sign-off rules come from your own safety staff. It does not certify a cell.
Can installed cells be supported after handover?
Yes. A register entry holds parts, versions and contract terms, and each service call attaches to it, so the engineer knows the gripper fingers and programme image on site.
How do we start?
A workshop with your estimators and project leads maps cell types, labour rates, kit margins and approval rules. Running projects are loaded next. Those leads check every figure before anyone relies on them.
Who sees what the customer owes?
Project managers see milestone invoices, retention and payments received beside cell progress, so a stage-payment chase starts from the facts rather than a guess. Access follows roles agreed in set-up.
