About Leantile
Engineers from Ghent who can't stand waste.
Leantile was founded in 2014 by two robotics researchers who saw how many pointless kilometres warehouse staff walked every day. Today we design, build and service fleets of hundreds of robots, still from Ghent.

What we stand for
01
Lean first, robots second
Automating a bad process gives you a fast bad process. We always start with the flow, and sometimes our advice is not to automate (yet).
02
Guarantees in numbers
We don't promise 'efficiency gains'. We sign for a throughput per hour and an availability, and we pay back if we miss them.
03
Close by, also after go-live
Assembly, software and service sit under one roof in Ghent. Your service engineer lives nearby and knows your site by name.

Two engineers on your floor, a year of order data, and honest advice. Even if that advice is not to automate yet.
