Automation and Machine Design

Automated solutions and custom machines for factory-style capability at affordable prices.

Automation for Small Businesses

With years of experience designing and building custom machines, we’ve realized that there’s a significant gap in industrial automation. Small businesses and shops either pay huge prices for over-featured solutions that they don’t need, or try to shoehorn off-the-shelf devices into their existing processes. We focus on bringing truly custom and purpose-built automation to the small business market, providing essential features at resonable prices. We’ve built everything from generator control systems for off-grid properties to multi-stage hydraulic pressing machines currently in assembly-line use.

Free Consultation and Process Analysis

We can inspect and analyze your small-business’s manufacturing process for potential labor and cost savings. We’ll discuss automation options with a focus on low prices and relevant features, and build a plan for your machines.

In-House Development

We don’t outsource design and development, and we’re always able to update you on your machine and work with you on changes. You work directly with the engineers, so we can give accurate and honest answers.

Robust Systems

While keeping costs low, we use quality industrial components to ensure that your system will continue to operate for years to come, and is easily repaired should problems arise. Custom tooling and fixturing is designed and produced in-house, to ensure fit and function. All machines are fully labeled and documented, with easy-to-understand wiring diagrams and function explanations.

Retrofit and Modification

If you have existing machines or tools that you’d like modified or modernized, we can help. From replacing failing air-logic systems with modern PLCs to adding motion control to a manual machine, we can customize and fit your machines to your exact needs.
