ROBOTICS
Complete Robot software programming, Commissioning and Integration. We specialize in robotics systems from single stand-alone robot cells to complete plant assembly lines. Our professionals are proficient in virtually every robot brand and model, as well as an extensive list of applications. We offer consulting services to evaluate throughput, downtime prediction and capacity increase.
  • Applications: Cutting, Gluing, Hemming, Laser Brazing, Press-to-Press, Riveting, Sealing/Dispensing, Vision, Spot Welding, Palletizing and Material Handling, etc.
  • Robot Controllers: ABB / Comau / Fanuc / Kawasaki / Kuka / Motoman / Nachi / Panasonic / Staubli
SIMULATIONS
Our simulations utilize virtual models of the working environment and of the robots themselves, which offers advantages to both the company and programmer. Robot actions and assembly parts can be visualized in a 3-dimensional virtual environment, months before prototypes are even produced. This allows us to check for any issues or conflicts, saving time and money by identifying costly mistakes before the machine is built. Using a simulation also allows robotics programs to be conveniently written and debugged off-line, eliminating any down-time for assembly lines and reducing overall costs. Once completed, the proven and debugged version of the program can be transferred directly to the physical robot, saving time during commissioning and installation.
  • Throughput Analysis and Process Simulations. Software: Delmia / RobCAD / RoboGuide / Robot Studio
WELD ENGINEERING
Our personnel include skilled welding engineers and technicians with a knowledge base that covers all aspects of the welding processes, weld verifications, and compliance with customer standards.

VALUE ENGINEERING
Value Engineering is a systematic and functional approach to improving the value of projects, processes or products. Value Engineering Analysis follows a structured process which helps team members communicate, understand different perspectives, innovate and analyze. This extremely effective tool, seeks out and identifies client needs and performance levels required at the best life cycle cost. By identifying required client needs through “function analysis,” an item’s cost can more closely match its worth. Lean Manufacturing is a complementary methodology that satisfies the goals of the client and increases value by the elimination of waste. Traditionally utilized in manufacturing processes, these concepts are being rapidly adopted in many business sectors such as hospital administration, government departments and private sector applications. By combining the strengths of Value Engineering and Lean Manufacturing, we provide creative, cost effective business solutions to our clients.
Our multi-discipline team approach delivers solutions in:
  • Capital Project Reviews
  • Product & Process Improvement
  • Project Improvement
  • Strategic Planning
  • Client/Staff Training
