Wilder Systems offers WSRobots, robotic systems designed for aerospace manufacturing. They create multifunctional robots that can be integrated into existing production lines for aircraft manufacturing to boost productivity, improve quality, and enhance operator ergonomics. The robots operate by being compatible with current jigs for all structures and by being network-enabled to track process data for traceability and continuous improvement. The company generates revenue from selling and maintaining these robotic systems, with a value proposition that includes easy NC programming using standard G and M codes and the ability to log data for smart manufacturing. The main goal is to reduce labor time (by 50% or more), cut labor costs, improve process visibility for management, and minimize defects from complex drilling steps, while freeing operators for higher-value tasks.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Aircraft makers want retrofit automation without line redesigns.
- Defense and commercial dual-use expands contract opportunities.
- Process-data logging supports quality control and continuous improvement.
What critics are saying
- Incumbent automation vendors dominate OEM purchasing decisions.
- RaaS economics weaken when buyers prefer direct equipment ownership.
- Program delays or customer concentration can sharply reduce robot utilization.
What makes Wilder Systems unique
- Modular robots fit existing aerospace jigs and production setups.
- RaaS lowers upfront cost for aircraft manufacturers and maintainers.
- Systems combine drilling, inspection, washing, and traceability in one platform.
