FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+-
What types of robotic equipment can be insured?
Insurance can cover a wide range of equipment including industrial robots, automated assembly stations, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), robotic arms, CNC machinery, sensors, and control systems within battery manufacturing and other automated processes. The key is providing detailed specifications to tailor the policy accordingly.
+-
Does the insurance cover software and control system failures?
Yes, policies typically include breakdown or failure coverage for embedded software, control electronics, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that form part of the robotics system, subject to terms and conditions in the policy.
+-
How does business interruption insurance work for automated equipment?
Business interruption cover compensates for loss of revenue and additional expenses if your manufacturing is disrupted due to insured equipment damage or breakdown. This helps maintain cash flow during repair or replacement of machinery.
+-
Is liability insurance included for automated manufacturing equipment?
Yes, liability coverage can be included to protect against claims arising from injury, property damage, or product liability linked to your robotic manufacturing processes. This includes accidental harm caused by equipment malfunctions or operator errors.
+-
How do I assess the value of my robotic inventory for insurance?
Valuation should include purchase price, installation, calibration, customisation costs, and replacement value of components. Your insurer can help guide you on appropriate valuation methods to ensure adequate coverage without overpaying for premiums.
