What is Automation Consultants Insurance?

Automation consultants insurance protects professionals who guide operations looking to optimise and automate their processes. Your advice must be accurate as it can directly impact productivity, efficiency and safety.

However, mistakes can happen. Without insurance, just one error leading to injury or significant financial loss from flawed automation advice could leave you facing substantial pay-outs.

Our specialist public liability policies can give you complete peace of mind that any injury, damage or financial loss claims caused by your automation recommendations will be dealt with by your insurer.

What Our Automation Consultants Insurance Covers:

Our automation consultant policies protect against the following:

  • Public Liability – Covers any injury or property damage caused while visiting your client’s facilities during consultations. For example, a factory worker gets injured due to unsafe automation recommendations.
  • Professional Indemnity (optional)  – Protects if your automation advice leads to financial loss for your client. For example, flawed guidance caused your client’s processes to become inefficient, leading to lost income.
  • Legal Expenses Insurance – Pays your legal defence costs and provides specialist legal representation if you face civil claims from clients alleging professional negligence. This includes defending you against demands for large sums of financial compensation.
  • Business Contents & Equipment Insurance (optional) – Replaces or repairs specialised automation and testing devices lost, stolen or damaged when visiting client sites. This can also be cameras, laptops and other equipment used during consultations.

We offer varying levels of coverage with high policy limits based on your specific business activities and risks.

FAQs

Automation Consultants Insurance FAQs

Automation consultants advise manufacturers on maximising efficiency, meaning risks like injury or financial loss are high. Without adequate safety planning, clients can make substantial payout claims that you’ll have to pay out of pocket if you don’t have insurance. Our policies cover against injury, damage and financial claims stemming from flawed automation recommendations.

We cover consultations across all typical automation services like:

  • Manufacturing optimisation
  • Warehouse automation
  • Production line efficiency improvements
  • Automotive manufacturing automation
  • Back office process robotics automation

Our policies cover most claims from inaccurate automation recommendations that negatively impact operations, productivity and safety.

Yes – our optional professional indemnity insurance is designed to cover financial loss claims from clients if your automation advice proves incorrect and leads to reduced productivity and profitability. For example, we would cover legal costs and pay-outs if flawed guidance caused output delays that prevented a manufacturer from fulfilling orders on schedule – resulting in lost income.

Absolutely – our policies can be extended to cover any temporary staff, freelancers or sub-contractors conducting automation consulting activities under your business name. For example, if an automation engineer you bring in provides poor advice leading to equipment failure and financial claims, our insurance helps shield your business from the impacts.
