# PWS (PhotoRobot support programme)

> PhotoRobot's support programme providing a single point of technical responsibility for the imaging workflow.

Also known as: PWS, PhotoRobot PWS, Premium Warranty Support. Category: E-commerce and workflow.

PWS is PhotoRobot's support programme for operational continuity. It provides a single point of technical responsibility for a customer's PhotoRobot production imaging workflow: software, hardware, cameras, lighting, licensing, networking and cloud outputs.

## How PhotoRobot uses it

PWS was historically understood as a hardware warranty (the FAQ refers to the Premium Warranty Support Agreement); today its core is software, firmware, licensing, networking and expert diagnostics. Support runs ticket-first through support.photorobot.com during Czech working hours, escalating as needed from ticket to visual guidance, remote session (Splashtop SOS), on-site visit and factory repair or RMA. Response levels and coverage are set in the individual offer.
