On the demand side
A spec with nowhere to go
You need a part that does not exist in any catalogue yet. You have a drawing, a volume and a date — and a directory full of names you cannot verify from 6,000 miles away.

From a drawing in Silicon Valley to a part on the line in Shenzhen.
RoboKanban is the bridge in between — 367 verified Chinese suppliers, digitised and categorised into 18 categories, managed by one team on both sides of the Pacific.

Continents, one team
The hard part is never the price.
It is the drawing that changed, the tolerance nobody confirmed, the shipment that left before the revision arrived. Meaning decays between two languages, two time zones and two sets of assumptions.
On the supply side
A line nobody can find
You have the machines, the certifications and the capacity. What you do not have is a way to be found by the engineer who needs exactly what you make.
How the bridge works
Not a directory. A chain that is visited, digitised and kept current.
01
Digitised where it is made
Every supplier here was met in person, photographed and categorised at the source — 367 companies across 18 categories. No scraped listings, no dead records.
02
Matched by part, not by name
The whole platform runs on the robot: head, arm, dexterous hand, joint module, reducer, encoder. You start from the component you are trying to buy.
03
Kept current by the supplier
Suppliers apply to join or claim an existing company. After our team verifies their authority, they can submit product information for review before publication.
The chain, mapped
Seven groups, 18 categories — each one staffed with suppliers we have stood next to on the floor.
Intelligence & Control60
Compute, motion control, controllers and simulation software that give the robot its brain and cerebellum.

Actuation & Drive109
Motors, reducers, lead screws, joint modules and dexterous hands — everything that makes the robot move.
