Who writes on this site
The articles on this site are signed by René Domingues, founder of Robotic Cover Concept, and by his son Dante Domingues, who runs the company. Two careers, one principle: no standard catalogue, every cover starts from the exact dimensions of the robot.
Founder of Robotic Cover Concept
René Domingues
René Domingues founded Robotic Cover Concept (RCC) in Toul, France, in 1998. Self-taught, he learned the trade on building sites: labourer, works manager for a property management firm, then site manager, before moving into industry with the wish to build a company he could run from A to Z.
He built a workshop that designs and manufactures custom protective covers for industrial robots and machines. He sold his first cover for 50 euros, after two days of negotiation. Now stepping back, he supports his son Dante on a range of topics.
