Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about robotics services in Thailand
How do I apply for BOI incentives for robot investments in Thailand?
The Board of Investment offers corporate income tax holidays (5โ8 years, up to 13 in EEC), import duty exemptions on automation equipment, and permit facilitation. We prepare BOI applications as part of our deployment service โ typical processing time is 40โ60 business days.
What are the advantages of deploying in the EEC zone?
The Eastern Economic Corridor (Chachoengsao, Chonburi, Rayong) offers enhanced BOI incentives โ up to 13-year tax holidays, duty-free imports, 50% corporate income tax reduction for additional 5 years, and fast-track work permits. Robotics is one of 10 EEC target industries.
What TISI certification is required for industrial robots?
The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) administers mandatory industrial standards. While robot-specific TISI standards are evolving, compliance with ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066 is recognized. We manage all certification and customs documentation for robot imports.
Do you provide Thai language support?
Yes. Full technical documentation, operator training, and 24/7 support in Thai, English, and Japanese. Our team is based in Bangkok and the EEC zone (Chonburi) with coverage across all major industrial estates in Rayong, Ayutthaya, and Lamphun.
Can you integrate with Japanese-owned factories in Thailand?
Yes. Many Thai factories are Japanese-invested (Toyota, Honda, Denso, Nidec). Our engineers are experienced with Japanese manufacturing protocols, JISEC standards, and bilingual Thai-Japanese documentation. We support integration with existing Japanese PLCs (Mitsubishi, Omron, Keyence) and MES systems.
