Automation Control Technology Services for Manufacturers

Automation and control technology combines equipment, software, sensors, robotics, PLCs, machine vision, and safety systems to perform and manage manufacturing tasks with repeatable results. It enables machines to monitor conditions, make programmed decisions, move materials, assemble products, inspect quality, and record production data. In a manufacturing setting, it is used to improve throughput, consistency, traceability, and worker safety.

GLOBAL automates processes including machine tending, material handling, robotic assembly, welding, dispensing and sealing, painting and coating, inspection, and packaging-related pick-and-place work. Systems can support automotive, EV, heavy equipment, aerospace, appliance, consumer products, and general industrial production. Each solution is engineered around the part geometry, cycle-time requirement, floor space, quality criteria, and production-volume target.

A feasibility study gives manufacturers a clear basis for deciding whether and how to automate a process. GLOBAL reviews the current workflow, equipment, labor content, cycle times, facility constraints, and production objectives. The resulting recommendations can outline viable concepts, likely implementation timelines, capital requirements, anticipated returns, and key risks. This work helps teams prioritize high-value opportunities before investing in detailed engineering or equipment.

Yes. GLOBAL supports automation retrofits and manufacturing-line upgrades for product launches, model-year changeovers, capacity expansion, and conversion of manual tasks to automated operations. Its engineers can retrofit robots, integrate new equipment, optimize existing cells, and improve controls or programming while minimizing disruption. The project scope is developed around the line’s condition, required performance improvements, available floor space, and planned production schedule.

Machine vision gives automation systems the ability to locate, identify, inspect, and track parts using cameras and software. It can verify a part’s presence and orientation, guide robots to randomly positioned components, inspect quality, validate dispense bead placement, and follow parts moving on a production line. By reducing dependence on fixed positioning and complex fixturing, vision can make robotic cells more flexible and adaptable.

Project duration depends on the application’s complexity, required equipment, safety design, controls scope, and commissioning needs. GLOBAL begins with process analysis and conceptual design, then progresses through simulation, engineering, build, integration, installation, and production launch. AI-assisted simulation can accelerate programming and identify issues before deployment. A defined project plan establishes milestones, responsibilities, validation requirements, and timing before implementation begins.

Yes. GLOBAL’s dual-division model combines robotic systems integration with technical staffing. Manufacturers can access controls engineers, PLC programmers, robotics technicians, electrical designers, project managers, commissioning engineers, mechanical designers, installation engineers, and robot programmers. Staffing options include contract assignments, contract-to-hire arrangements, and direct placements. This approach can help clients sustain a new system, cover specialized project needs, or expand internal automation capacity.

GLOBAL primarily integrates FANUC robots for manufacturing applications that demand high precision, repeatability, or operation in hazardous environments. FANUC systems can be applied to machine tending, material handling, assembly, welding, painting, coatings, and dispensing. GLOBAL designs the complete cell around the application, including robot selection, end-of-arm tooling, fixtures, controls, guarding, PLC integration, vision, programming, commissioning, and ongoing support.
