Robotics in Brazil

Key industries driving robotics adoption

🚗

Automotive Manufacturing

São Paulo ABC industrial belt hosts VW, GM, Stellantis, Toyota, and Hyundai. Brazil produces 2.4M+ vehicles/year — welding, painting, and EV battery assembly lines are rapidly adopting cobots and vision-guided robots.

🌾

Agribusiness & Precision Agriculture

World's largest exporter of soy, sugarcane, coffee, and beef. Precision ag automation — autonomous sprayers, drone crop monitoring, and robotic harvesters — is transforming operations across 63M hectares of cropland.

Oil & Gas — Deepwater Inspection

Petrobras operates the world's most advanced pre-salt deepwater fields. ROVs, pipe inspection robots, and autonomous subsea vehicles service platforms 200+ km offshore in the Santos and Campos basins.

⛏️

Mining & Mineral Processing

Vale's Carajás complex is the world's largest iron ore mine. Autonomous haul trucks, drilling robots, and inspection drones operate across remote Amazonian and Minas Gerais mining sites to improve safety and throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about robotics services in Brazil

How can I finance robot purchases through BNDES FINAME?

BNDES FINAME offers low-interest credit lines specifically for nationally-produced or accredited machinery and automation equipment. We help clients prepare FINAME applications and identify BNDES-accredited robot platforms. Financing covers up to 80% of equipment value with repayment terms up to 10 years.

What INMETRO certification is required for robots in Brazil?

Industrial robots must comply with INMETRO conformity assessment procedures and NR-12 machine safety standards (Norma Regulamentadora 12). Our deployment team handles the full certification and documentation process for imported and domestically sourced robots.

Do you have a local service network across Brazil?

Yes. Brazil is continental in scale — we maintain service teams in São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Salvador, and Manaus to provide on-site support. Average response time is 24–48 hours nationwide, with same-day service in major industrial regions.

What import taxes apply to robots entering Brazil?

Import duties on industrial robots range from 8–14% plus ICMS state tax, PIS/COFINS, and IPI. However, robots classified as capital goods may qualify for reduced import duty through ex-tarifário mechanisms. We advise clients on the most tax-efficient import structure.

Can you help with EMBRAPII co-development projects?

Yes. EMBRAPII co-funds up to one-third of collaborative R&D projects between industry and accredited research units. We connect clients with EMBRAPII-accredited centers like SENAI CIMATEC and USP for robotics integration and data collection projects.
