PHYSICAL AI × RWA

A model for growing subscription and usage-based
robot and industrial equipment services with funding providers.

When robots or industrial equipment are offered for a monthly or usage-based fee, building or acquiring them costs money up front, while fees arrive over the contract term or as usage accrues. This concept model shows one way to bridge that gap: working with funding providers.

Companies offering transport and cleaning robots, industrial equipment and similar assets for monthly or usage-based fees, including manufacturers that offer them directly

01THE MODEL

Roles and money flows between funding providers, robot providers and customers.

Monthly and usage-based services for robots and industrial equipment can operate through conventional contracts and management systems. RWA becomes relevant when rights to use equipment or receive income are digitally issued and transferred, with continuing management of allocations and fulfillment across multiple participants.

From funding to generating and distributing returns (example: robots offered for a monthly fee)

Funding provider

Funds robot deployment and receives distributions under the agreement.

FundingDistributionsContractual rights recorded as RWA

Robot provider & operator

Owns and operates robots for customers. Recurring usage revenue is the source of returns for the business and its funding providers.

Income: monthly usage fees
Robot useMonthly feesAgreement, asset ID & usage records

Customer

Uses robots under an agreement and pays fees instead of buying them upfront.

Robot manufacturer or seller

Supplies the robots that enable the service to grow. One business may also handle both manufacturing and operation.

hazBaseRWA Ops

Manage assets and contractual rights alongside issuance, allocations and payment schedules and records. Bank movements and accounting connect to the responsible systems.

This diagram is an illustrative model. Funding providers, agreements, screening and financing terms are arranged separately. Adopting hazBase does not guarantee financing or returns.

02WHO DOES WHAT

hazBase and RWA Ops handle rights and records.

hazBase provides RWA infrastructure, and RWA Ops provides the issuance and operations solution. Robot and equipment control and AI model development are handled by your team or specialist providers, and responsibilities for fundraising, sales and legal matters are determined for each project.

03GETTING STARTED

You can start with a focused pilot.

Validation can be planned in two parts: whether the robots or equipment perform as expected on site, and whether rights can be issued and distributions made correctly under the contracts. Success in one does not guarantee the other. The hazBase pilot program covers the second.

Pilot programAvailable (since Nov. 2025)

hazBase pilot program

Test issuance, distribution and record-keeping with your own data, limited to selected assets and participants. The pilot gathers what you need to estimate the additional development, team structure and running costs of a full rollout.

The information to prepare for a pilot and the evaluation criteria are set out in the equipment leases & income model.Information to prepareEvaluation criteria
