Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about robotics services in Argentina

How do you handle currency instability for robot leasing in Argentina?

All lease contracts are USD-indexed with payment options in USD, dollar-linked bonds, or ARS at official exchange rate. We offer flexible 6–36 month terms with quarterly rate adjustments and provide leasing structures that protect both parties from currency volatility.

What are the customs requirements for importing robots into Argentina?

Industrial robots (HS 8479.50) require AFIP customs registration, INTI conformity certification, and may qualify for reduced import duties under Mercosur tariff preferences. We handle all import logistics including customs brokerage and SENASA certification for agricultural equipment.

Can CONICET co-fund our robotics R&D project?

Yes β€” CONICET partners with private companies through FONTAR co-funded projects. We help structure R&D proposals with CIFASIS, INTI, or university labs that qualify for ANR grants covering up to 50% of project costs.

What are the drone regulations for agricultural automation in Argentina?

ANAC (National Civil Aviation Administration) regulates drone operations β€” agricultural spraying drones require specific operator certification and flight plans. We provide ANAC-compliant agricultural drone systems with operator training and regulatory documentation.

How do you deploy robots in remote Vaca Muerta field locations?

We provide ruggedized inspection robots, pipeline crawlers, and autonomous monitoring systems designed for Patagonian conditions β€” extreme temperatures, dust, and remote connectivity. Satellite-linked telemetry and local YPF/Tecpetrol logistics partnerships ensure continuous operation.
