You don’t need more hands—you need better flow

Manufacturing is changing—fewer skilled workers are available yet demand for high-quality output remains strong. Automation offers a solution: technology handles repetitive or risky tasks around the clock, freeing up human talent for creative problem-solving and innovation. Here’s a glimpse of how automation can help you go from stilted to streamlined:

Reimagining the process 

Beyond material advantages, automation grants you peace of mind. Everything follows a carefully scripted chain of events, freeing skilled workers from repetitive tasks and reducing human error. At the design stage, CAD (Computer-Aided Design) transforms ideas into detailed models. These are then processed through CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), which helps generate precise machining instructions. When integrated into automated workflows, this reduces manual input and enables seamless transitions from design to production. This process has already become ubiquitous in the industry, offering a frictionless experience that limits errors and boosts efficiency. And it doesn’t stop there: automated guided vehicles can transport materials, sensors track quality in real time, and robots take over wherever the task demands repeatability and precision.

Why it matters 

By removing manual bottlenecks, companies can adapt faster to new products or design changes, reduce waste, and improve overall consistency. Fewer repetitive tasks mean skilled workers can focus on what they do best—solving complex challenges, shaping new products, and driving continuous improvement.

Real results in action 

Our Gimo plant saw a 55% production increase after introducing fully automated cells, going from 8,800 to 14,000 pieces per year per human operator. That kind of leap isn’t just about fancy machinery; it’s about designing an ecosystem where machines and humans work in tandem to produce more, better, and faster.

Why it pays to stay curious 

Automation isn’t one-size-fits-all. Maybe you’re looking to trim waste or cut delivery times or maybe you’ve got your sights on full “lights-out” manufacturing. Understanding your specific goals is key to choosing the right approach.
