Customer Knowledge Gap Requires Custom Education
Definition
Potential customers lack basic knowledge of robotics capabilities, applications, and implementation pathways. Robotics engineering services firms must invest significant engineering and sales resources in customer education before even beginning technical consulting work. This creates a pre-consulting phase that consumes billable time without revenue recognition. Customers don't know what's possible, what they need, or how to scope projects, forcing engineers to perform speculative feasibility studies and capability assessments without contracts. The knowledge gap is systemic: 98.7% of firms don't use robots, suggesting most executives and plant managers have no robotics reference experience.[5] This affects deal sizing, scoping accuracy, and project success rates.
