Manufacturing and assembling industrial equipment are tough jobs, so companies integrate automated equipment into strategic areas for welding, material handling, pick and place, and repetitive tasks. Typically, companies use a combination of robotic arms, sensors, conveyance, guided vehicles, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to improve quality, traceability, efficiency, and throughput.

Whether you are producing parts, systems, and/or heavy equipment, you can use robotics for heavy material handling and operator-assist devices for transporting engines, wheels, and parts across warehouses, reducing the risk of injury to employees. Our customers have used automation to build tractors, agriculture equipment and enablements. We can also support producing skid steers, crawlers, articulated dump trucks, graders, front loaders, and more, using automated MIG welding, laser welding, pick-and-place robots, and vision systems.

Industrial or commercial equipment companies automate their assembly lines for manufacturing machines like trucks and skid steers or components such as fuel systems, motors, gearboxes, and pumps for other earthmoving vehicles. Using robotics and vision, companies create ergonomic and efficient assembly lines to protect employees from hazardous conditions while completing assembly quickly and improving quality.
