Automation Process Development
Teaming Up With Our Customers to Link the Divide Between Design and Production
Our approach to automation process development is to first evaluate your current operation or your process assumptions and evaluate speed, quality, and other process results. We work with you to establish requirements, goals, and risk thresholds for the new prototype process all the way to the development of a turnkey production line. 3-4 testing options are brainstormed by our engineering team and presented to you. A fixed bid is then put into place which includes the evaluation of the prototype and a report of our findings. Processes are tested and analyzed to determine if the prototypes meet the necessary results such as up-time, through-put rates, quality, and process capability requirement.
