industrial control systems
Design, programming and service for industrial control systems, from a single machine retrofit to a fully integrated robotic cell.
Solid Automation brings in-depth experience in industrial controls and data acquisition to manufacturers who need equipment that runs, and keeps running.
We design, program and service industrial control systems of every kind: new machines, robotic integration, and modernization of the equipment you already depend on.
Clean panels, clear documentation and code your maintenance team can follow.
From the first sketch to the final start-up, one team carries the project through.
Engineering for robotics, from simple material handling to vision-guided applications, and complete robot cells.
Automation for nearly any manufacturing process, including PLC and CNC programming and integration.
Retrofits that bring the equipment you already depend on up to date, with new controls and clear documentation.
Site studies, feasibility assessments and design direction for early-stage ideas.
Manufacturing insight for difficult processes and interdisciplinary projects.
Service for all industrial controls: troubleshooting, changes and support for the systems on your floor.
Two ready-made building blocks from our own projects: URCaps that tie a Universal Robots arm to the conveyor line, and a library of conveyor Add-On Instructions for Logix controllers.
Conveyor-aware pick and place, palletizing, case loading and gripper control for UR robots, on PolyScope 5 and PolyScope X. One install, one link to the 7HMI line panel, one licence per robot.
Photo-eyes, starters, PowerFlex 525 drives, ZPA zones, merges, sortation, alarms and comms watchdogs that share one set of conventions and one faceplate pattern. Four example applications show them working together.
Servo-powered sort blade.
Machine tool tending and assembly cell.
Die casting machine retrofit.
Live 3D demos running in your browser: a UR10e with dual Hand-E grippers tending a CNC mill, a UR5e buffing parts, and a configurator to explore other cell types.
Starting a new project, have a question, or not sure where to begin? We'd love to hear from you.
