Automation at the machine
Handing repetitive manual operations to robots, and managing the flow around the machine.
- Machine tending and handling
- Control and safety logic
- Operator panel in plain language, with alarms spelled out
More than ten plants automated and manual processes handed to robots. We start from the bottleneck, not from the robot catalogue.

You see the result six months later: an island that works beautifully on its own and does not talk to the rest of the plant.
We start from the other end. We look at where time is lost, where mistakes happen, and where a piece of data already exists but nobody reads it. Then we decide what to automate — and what to leave alone.
Thirty years of software and automation for manufacturers.

Machine control and data collection sit on our DigiSense® framework.
Handing repetitive manual operations to robots, and managing the flow around the machine.
The machine does not stay isolated: it talks to line systems and to management software.
Measure before acting: where the stoppages, scrap and idle time actually are.
Robots that live in a house, not in a plant: designed to assist frail and elderly people, and driven by voice rather than by a control panel.
Process analysis with the people who live it daily: operators and shift leads, not just management.
Technology chosen for the goal, not for fashion. Sometimes the answer is not a robot.
Development, integration with what exists and rollout without stopping the plant more than necessary.
Maintenance, operator training and evolution over time.
With measurement. First we look at where the process loses time or generates scrap: the bottleneck is often not where you expect, and the right intervention costs less than the one you were about to buy.
Almost never. Automation sits on top of the systems and flows you already run. Replacing the ERP is a project in its own right: if it is needed we will say so, but it is not a prerequisite.
That the machine serves the person working with it, not the other way round: automation where the operation is repetitive or dangerous, and readable data where a human decision is needed.
It depends on the process, and we are wary of generic answers. What we can tell you upfront is how we will find out: process analysis is the first phase and it has a defined duration.
