Advanced manufacturing & space

Advanced manufacturing

Companies running robotic welding cells with computer-vision seam tracking, fast-turn US PCB manufacturing, rare-earth magnet recycling, and acoustic metal printing, including firms making robot parts and actuators.

Why it needs cover

The exposure

A vision-guided weld that misses a seam, or a printed or recycled part that fails under load, is a standard products-liability exposure once it ships. The AI layer sits inside the process, not in front of the customer, so most of this risk still underwrites like manufacturing.

What we place

Coverages this class usually needs

General liabilityOften (contract)

Third-party injury/property damage at the plantStandard manufacturing-floor exposure

Products & completed operationsRequired (contract)

Claims from a defective weld, board, or printed part after it shipsCore manufacturing exposure regardless of how the part was made

Tech E&O / professional (AI layer)Often (contract)

Errors in the vision-guided welding or process-control softwareThe CV and control layer carries a professional-services exposure the base products form doesn't reach

Workers' compensationRequired (with employees)

Injured-worker medical/wagesPlant-floor and robotic-cell injury risk

What it costs

National benchmark premiums

Rated on: Revenue and units produced

Full program

Quoted per program; driven by deployed fleet size, contracts, and limits.

Pricing figures are Risklytics program design targets, not published cost-guide data or quotes. Only construction & field robotics and warehouse & logistics robotics carry dollar figures, because Risklytics has built and priced real programs against them; every other class uses a qualitative pricing statement until a program is priced. Your premium depends on fleet size, contract structure, limits, deductible, and loss history.

When it goes E&S

Where this risk gets hard to place

The products-liability core stays admitted like most manufacturing. The AI layer, seam-tracking software and process control, sits behind it on E&S paper only, since no admitted carrier will yet write that layer affirmatively.
