Their Challenges, Solved.

When an Outdated PLC Threatened a Product Line, They Found a Smarter Path

A portable machining OEM inherited a bore welder with an outdated PLC, bulky wiring, and razor‑thin margins. Automation Solutions replaced the PLC with a compact Raspberry‑Pi control system featuring an intuitive HMI, centralized controls, and robust safety features. The upgrade transformed a failing product into a global success.

Results:

  • 3500+ machines upgraded across 28 countries
  • Major cost reductions
  • Improved reliability and user experience

Modern Motion Control — Without Replacing Their Test Equipment

An EMI testing manufacturer relied on legacy GPIB‑based actuators that couldn’t interface with modern Ethernet instruments. Automation Solutions built a rack‑mounted controller that translated Ethernet commands into precise servo control, enabling automated sequencing and accurate positioning without disrupting existing workflows.

Results:

  • Seamless Ethernet integration
  • Modernized motion control
  • Zero disruption to existing test systems

On‑Site Precision Machining for Wind Turbine Towers

A portable machine tool manufacturer required a control system for machining turbine tower flanges flat during on‑site assembly. Automation Solutions delivered controls for a portable rotary mill capable of delivering the precision needed for nacelle installation, eliminating the need for factory‑floor equipment.

Results:

  • Precise on‑site machining for turbine assembly
  • Reliable flange flattening before nacelle installation
  • Field‑ready control system

Scale Production Without Losing Quality — Automation Made It Possible

A fast‑growing cannabis brand struggled to meet demand using skilled hand‑rollers producing ~60 pre‑rolls per hour. Automation Solutions built a custom machine that rolls 600 pre‑rolls per hour with laser‑guided strain‑specific precision and real‑time monitoring — preserving quality while unlocking massive scale.

Results:

  • 10× production increase
  • $500,000+ annual labor savings
  • Consistent strain‑specific quality

Reliable Testing for a Critical Medical Component

A medical manufacturer required precise, repeatable testing for mini-sponges used in life-saving applications. Automation Solutions engineered a custom mechanism that controls motion, force, and measurement to ensure every sponge meets strict performance criteria. The system supports regulatory compliance and delivers consistent, documented results.

Results:

  • Repeatable validated testing
  • Improved product reliability
  • Supports medical quality standards

Automating Forming, Cleaning, and Loading in One Flow

A manufacturer faced bottlenecks in forming, dedusting, and loading operations that relied heavily on manual handling. Automation Solutions delivered a robotic cell that forms parts, removes dust, and loads them into downstream equipment. The integrated system improves cleanliness, consistency, and overall production speed.

Results:

  • Integrated multi-stage automation
  • Reduced contamination and manual handling
  • Higher throughput with consistent quality
