About Everyone who tells you what a robot is worth has something to sell. Except the arbiter.
Used cars have TÜV and Carfax. Used EV batteries have Aviloo. Used industrial robots — a market where a single machine changes hands for the price of a car and a worn reducer costs five figures — have a seller’s word and a photo of the arm powered on.
REMVAL exists to close that gap: one standardized protocol, one report, one signed certificate anyone can check.
Independence is structural, not a promise
We do not buy robots. We do not sell robots. We do not broker them, list them, or take a referral fee from anyone who does. We hold no inventory, so there is no machine whose value we benefit from inflating.
We take 0% of the sale. The inspection is a flat fee, paid by whoever ordered it, and the report says what the measurements say — including when they are unflattering, and including when we could not measure something at all.
That is the only business model under which a condition report is worth reading.
Who is behind it
REMVAL is built by Melvin, an industrial engineer working in metrology and prototyping, based in the Zurich region, Switzerland.
There is no invented team page here, and no wall of partner logos we have not earned. It is early, the protocol is public, and the first inspections are running as pilots in Switzerland, Baden-Württemberg and Alsace.
If you want to test the method before you trust it, read the methodology — all of it is published, including what we refuse to claim.
