Installation changes the conversation.
Explain whether employees work at customer sites, handle commissioning, modify existing machinery, or provide ongoing maintenance. Bring the scope of work and customer insurance requirements. Review premises and field operations, employee duties, subcontractor arrangements, and any equipment your team takes to a site.
What happens when the system does not meet expectations?
Consider a hypothetical automation deployment where a customer alleges reduced output after installation. Identify who supplied the equipment, wrote the control software, specified the process, and accepted the system. That description helps frame the insurance questions; it does not determine that any claim would be covered.
Connect testing and change control with the business description.
Prepare a high-level explanation of intended uses, testing, acceptance procedures, maintenance responsibilities, and changes after deployment. Include remote access and software updates where relevant. Use the procedures actually in place, and distinguish planned capabilities from the systems you currently supply.
Your customer contract is part of the review.
Share performance commitments, insurance schedules, and decision deadlines through an agreed document-sharing process. Ask legal counsel about warranties, indemnities, and other legal obligations. Ask Cory to compare the insurance requirements with the actual policy terms. A certificate provides evidence; it does not rewrite the policy.
Bring the details behind the next deployment.
Start with your website, product and service overview, customer industries, sales territories, deployment locations, current policies, and renewal timing. Explain new applications, larger installations, or changes in hardware and software responsibilities. Further underwriting information depends on the operation and the coverage being considered.
Is robotics insurance a single standard policy?
Do not assume the industry label establishes a uniform package. Review the actual policies, endorsements, insured activities, and exclusions against the system and services you deliver. Specialized uses, such as medical devices or aviation, need explicit discussion rather than an assumption that a general robotics description is sufficient.
