We help you answer these questions—then manage the dynamics of the transformation from vision to execution, maximizing benefits for your customers and employees.
Robotics transformation isn't about deploying one robot—it's about understanding where automation will reshape your entire value chain, then managing that evolution iteratively. We don't start with solutions. We start with workshops that help your leadership team shape the outcomes you actually want.
We facilitate structured workshops with your decision-makers to map your entire value chain, identify where robotics could create impact (customer service, logistics, marketing, operations), and prioritize based on strategic alignment and feasibility.
Output: Value chain impact map, prioritized opportunity areas, 1-year and 5-year transformation roadmap
Before selecting any technology, we work with you to define success: What do your customers need? What do your employees need? What business metrics matter? This ensures robotics serves strategic goals, not the other way around.
Output: Customer experience requirements, employee impact analysis, success metrics framework
With outcomes defined, we design the technical solution—selecting robot types (service, delivery, marketing), form factors (wheeled, quadruped, humanoid, robotic arms), and platform architecture. Our preference: open-source platforms you control, not vendor lock-in.
Output: Technical architecture, vendor recommendations, platform strategy, security framework
We deploy in phases: pilot programs in controlled environments, measure outcomes against defined success criteria, iterate based on learnings, then scale what works. This minimizes risk while maximizing organizational learning and stakeholder buy-in.
Output: Pilot deployments, performance dashboards, stakeholder feedback loops, scaling roadmap
Technology is only part of the transformation. We manage change across your organization: regulatory compliance (GDPR, AI Act), works council engagement, staff training, process redesign, and cultural adaptation. This is where our nine years of organizational consulting expertise becomes critical.
Output: Compliance documentation, training programs, change management framework, governance structure
Customer-facing automation that enhances service quality, reduces wait times, and frees human staff for high-value interactions.
Logistics automation for moving materials, products, or supplies—from warehouse operations to last-mile delivery.
Experiential automation for brand engagement, entertainment, and monetization—creating memorable customer interactions.
Support in error detection, enhanced measurement—extending human capabilities in monitoring & quality control applications.
Many robotics vendors lock you into proprietary platforms—creating dependency, security risks, and limited customization. We take a different approach.
Our preference: open-source platforms managed by you. This gives you full control over data, security, and future development while avoiding vendor lock-in.
We support you from platform selection through deployment, customization, and ongoing management—whether you operate infrastructure in-house or through trusted partners.
Founder's decision not just to "get a robot" but to explore how robotics
could improve routine process effectivity over a 5-year horizon. We started with a
discovery workshop mapping their servicing process, identifying automation
opportunities, and prioritization based on resource effectivity.

Hotel management decision not to "buy a robot" but to explore how robotics
could enhance their guest experience over a 3-year horizon. We started with a
discovery workshop mapping their entire guest journey, identifying guest experience
opportunities, and prioritizing based on brand alignment and operational impact.
---
Management decision not to "instal a robot" but to explore how robotics
could increase staff availability during the peak-times over a 3-year horizon.
We started with a discovery workshop mapping their service bottleneck during rush hours,
identifying opportunities through positioning staff in dedicated service areas to engage
with guest (receive and serve orders) while the robots carry orders and used tableware.
---
Management decision not just to "put a robot in charge" but to explore how robotics
could increase guest attraction through an innovative differentiation approach.
We started with a discovery workshop mapping the critical paths to visitors' attention
identifying opportunities for interactive digital engagement that would effectively guide
interested clients to the target retail location while generating a memorable, "Instagram-worthy" experience.

Phase 1: Workshop with leadership team to map value chain,
define success metrics (process effectivity, guest satisfaction, staff efficiency, brand consistency),
and identify robotics as high-priority pilot.
Phase 2: Designed service flows for specific robot deployment—
focusing on targeted tasks. Addressed GDPR (DSGVO) compliance,
works council (Betriebsrat) engagement, and staff training before deployment.
Phase 3: 8-week pilot with iterative optimization based on
feedback and operational learnings. Measured against pre-defined success
criteria before recommending scale or initiation of parallel pilot field.
These pilot deployments are part of a broader 3-/5-year roadmap exploring further delivery robotics (heavy weight / room service), marketing robotics (event experiences / happy hour), service robotics (floor / parking cleaning), and support robotics (storage monitoring / parking surveillance. The iterative approach allows us to prove value before scaling investment.
JAN2009 was founded in 2016 as a management consulting firm serving diverse organizations. For nine years, we've specialized in organizational transformation— interim leadership, change management, regulatory navigation, stakeholder alignment.
In 2024, we launched our robotics transformation practice—recognizing that successful robotics adoption requires the same organizational capabilities we've been developing for years, just applied to a new domain.
This is why our robotics engagements succeed: We don't just understand technology—we understand how organizations actually change, how German regulatory frameworks operate, and how to design transformations that create value for both customers and employees.
