Automation & Material Handling

Smart automation. Smart manufacturing.
GET A TEST CUT

The Technology of Tomorrow, Today.

Manufacturers across all industries are looking for ways to increase their competitive advantage and improve profitability. Material handling improvements are a great way to get there. Traditionally, material handling can be tedious, labor-intensive, and ergonomically repetitive – making it the perfect place to optimize production, improve efficiency, and promote operator safety through robotic automation.

We all want a smarter operation – one that connects our technology and production to tracking and reporting for increased optimization. We can connect directly to your MES (Manufacturing Execution System) to track your parts and provide full traceability and production measurements. We bring the technology of tomorrow into your operations, today.

 

Wondering if a material handling system can improve your bottom line? We’re here to help.

Reach New Levels of Production

GUIDANCE

Locate parts, off-set robot positions, or implement visual line-tracking

INSPECTION

Measure your parts, pattern matching, poke yoke, go/no-go, presence/absence validation, heat treatment quality control (choral deviation).

IDENTIFICATION

Intelligent reading of barcodes and part specific program selection

OPTICAL CMM INSpection

Stereoscopic measurement so you can make sure your parts are as precise as possible. SPC (statistical process control) for reporting on results.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Machine learning implementation right on your production floor so you can continually make improvements.
