WHAT WE DO

Six disciplines.One production line.

Greenfield to brownfield, design to commissioning, controls to vision — handled by the same engineers, on your floor.

Process Engineering

Standard work, takt analysis, and line balancing — designed before the first weld.

Deliverables

  • Standard work documentation
  • Takt time analysis
  • Line balancing
  • Process FMEA
  • Capacity modeling

When this fits

Feasibility before a new product line or process change — when you need to know what the line will cost, how fast it can run, and where it will bottleneck before any steel is cut.

Relevant standards

Lean manufacturing methodology · AIAG FMEA

Turnkey Line Build

Greenfield lines from concept to first part produced.

Deliverables

  • Greenfield line design
  • Controls — PLC, HMI, SCADA
  • UL 508A panel build
  • Mechanical installation
  • Commissioning and runoff
  • Operator acceptance

When this fits

A new plant or a new product line — you have a building or a footprint, and you need a production line that produces a first good part on a committed date.

Relevant standards

UL 508A panel shop · NFPA 79 · ANSI / RIA R15.06

Retrofit & Upgrades

Keep the steel you have. Replace the brains.

Deliverables

  • Controls retrofit
  • Safety upgrade — OSHA, ANSI
  • Obsolescence replacement
  • Integration with legacy MES
  • Documentation refresh

When this fits

An older line that still has good mechanics but is held back by obsolete controls, missing safety, or a controls vendor that has walked away. Retrofit instead of rebuild.

Relevant standards

OSHA 1910 Subpart O · ANSI B11 · NFPA 79

Robotics Integration

FANUC and Universal Robots authorized integrator.

Deliverables

  • Cell design
  • EOAT (end-of-arm-tool) engineering
  • Vision-guided robotics
  • Cycle time optimization
  • Operator training

When this fits

Material handling, palletizing, welding, machine tending — repetitive tasks where labor is hard to hire and the cycle is well-defined. Robots when they earn their place.

Machine Vision

Catch defects before they ship.

Deliverables

  • Surface defect inspection
  • Dimensional check
  • AI defect classification
  • Traceability integration
  • Lighting and fixturing design

When this fits

Visual inspection that operators can no longer do reliably at line rate, or a defect-rate KPI tied to a customer PPM target. Catch it on the line, not in the field.

Common platforms

Cognex · Keyence · Open-source CV stacks for AI classifiers

Service & 24/7 Support

Spare parts, training, and emergency response.

Deliverables

  • Spare parts inventory
  • Emergency response under 4 hours
  • Annual preventive maintenance
  • Operator retraining
  • Remote diagnostics

When this fits

After the line goes live. When a fault at 2 a.m. costs more than a service contract, and your operators need a number to call that an engineer answers.

Coverage

24 / 7 dispatch · Continental U.S. on-site response

WORK SHOWCASE

Twenty lines we have put on the floor.

Not sure which service you need?

Walk us through the line. We'll tell you what it actually needs — even if that's nothing.
