Robot service companies in Canada: who services robots in Vancouver and BC (2026)
Short answer: In Canada, robot after-sales and field service come from five kinds of providers: the robot makers' own service teams (FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa), industrial automation integrators, third-party service-robot providers, nationwide service networks and distributors. In British Columbia, none of the large industrial-arm makers lists a robotics service office on its official site; BC work goes through travelling OEM engineers or certified integrators such as Remtech Systems (Burnaby). For cleaning, delivery and other service robots in Greater Vancouver, the providers we could verify are RoboTools Canada, NorBot and KeepRobots, each with a different model.
Which one fits depends on whether you need the maker's warranty authorization, which robot category you have, where your sites are, and whether you need someone who works with Chinese-speaking engineering teams.

Providers by type
1. Robot makers' own service (OEM)
Call the manufacturer first if your robot is one of these brands and still under warranty or service contract. None of the large industrial-arm makers below lists a robotics service office in BC on its official site; BC work is done by travelling engineers or certified integrator partners.
- FANUC Canada. Mississauga, Ontario. FANUC's Canadian headquarters handles robot sales, service, support and training for all of Canada; its Canadian field-service page lists no office in BC (FANUC Canada, field service). Industrial arms, CRX cobots.
- ABB Robotics. ABB Canada does not list a robotics service office in BC on the pages we checked. In Western Canada ABB Robotics works through integrator partners: a May 2021 ABB release named Cam Industrial and Remtech Systems as partners for Alberta and BC, covering engineering, installation, commissioning and maintenance (ABB news release).
- KUKA Canada. Mississauga, Ontario (2865 Argentia Road); the official contact page lists no other Canadian office (KUKA Canada contact). In BC, Remtech Systems says it is a KUKA certified value provider.

3. Third-party service-robot providers
Deploy, support and repair cleaning, delivery and other commercial service robots, often across several brands. Business models differ: some sell or lease robots and service what they sell; some act as the buyer's integrator; some only do on-site service for other companies' robots.
- RoboTools Canada. A division of Westgate Technology Corp., with a BC phone number. Its service area lists Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Victoria, Kelowna, Surrey and Delta, plus Alberta, Ontario and Montreal. Sells Pudu and Keenon cleaning robots and Fairino, Taiga and Kawasaki arms; offers integration and installation, training, technical support, local spare parts, a maintenance team, and leasing / robots-as-a-service (robotools.ca, cleaning robots).

Does not make or sell robots; non-exclusive; not an exclusive agent for any brand. This is our company.
- SPARC Technologies. Lists Pudu and Gausium cleaning and delivery robot models, with deployment, training, support, genuine parts and diagnostics, and says it operates across North America with a 48-hour on-site response target (sparcglobaltech.com). The site does not publish an address; we found no BC office.
4. Nationwide service networks covering Canada
Large independent field-service companies that sign contracts with robot makers and dispatch technicians across the US and Canada.
- Burroughs. Elmhurst, Illinois. A nationwide independent service network. Pudu announced in January 2025 that Burroughs would provide maintenance and technical support for Pudu robots in the US and Canada (Pudu announcement); Avidbots announced a field-service partnership with Burroughs in 2023 (Avidbots announcement).

How to choose: a decision table
Neutral checklist by provider type. Whatever you choose, ask for the same things in writing.
| What to check | OEM service | Industrial integrator | Service-robot provider | Nationwide network | Distributor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Authorized by the robot's maker? | Yes, for its own brand | Often certified for specific arm brands | Varies; ask for the maker's written authorization for your brand | Under contract with specific makers | Usually for the brands it sells |
| Coverage in BC | Mostly fly-in from Ontario, Alberta or the US | Local if based in BC | Local if based in BC; check the stated service area | Check the BC technician and parts depot | Depends on office locations |
| Robot categories | Its own models only | Industrial arms, cells, lines | Cleaning, delivery, AMR, sometimes arms | Brands under contract | Brands in its catalogue |
| Chinese-language support | Rarely stated publicly; ask whether engineers can read Chinese documentation and join calls with your engineers in China | ||||
| How it charges | Service contract or rate card | Project quote | Hourly, per job, contract, or bundled with lease | Contract or per ticket | Bundled with sale or quoted |
| Can it hold your spare parts? | Its own parts | Ask | Ask; some offer local parts or storage | Often has parts depots | Parts for brands it sells |
| Also sells competing robots? | Sells its own | May | Some do; ask | Usually not | Yes |
Notes for robot makers from China entering Canada
- Warranty first. If a provider is not authorized by the maker, agree in writing which sealed assemblies it may open and how RMAs flow back to the factory.
- BC is not Ontario. Most OEM and distributor offices are in the Greater Toronto Area, Montreal or Calgary. If your customers are in Greater Vancouver, check who is actually based in the Lower Mainland and what response time they will put in writing.
- Language and hours. Ask whether the local engineer can read your Chinese fault tables and join calls with your team in China.
- Parts on the ground. Ask whether the provider can hold your consignment parts and demo units, and how stock is reported.
- Conflicts. A provider that also sells a competing brand may still be a good partner, but agree on data and customer ownership.
