Our Automation Services

Integrated robotic systems, engineering expertise, and modernization support for demanding manufacturing environments.

Turnkey Integration

Complete robotic system delivery from concept, simulation, and controls design through build, installation, commissioning, training, and long-term production support.

Material Handling

Vision-guided robotic handling systems automate pick-and-place, palletizing, bin picking, machine loading, and inter-station transfer around your production requirements.

Machine Tending

Custom robot cells load, unload, and start CNCs, presses, molding equipment, and multiple machines to improve utilization and extend unattended operation.

Robotic Welding

Purpose-built welding cells combine robots, fixtures, tooling, positioning, and optional vision guidance for consistent joining quality, higher throughput, and reduced rework.

Robotic Assembly

Automated assembly cells integrate part handling, fastening, dispensing, testing, inspection, traceability, and custom fixturing for repeatable high-volume production.

Line Upgrades

Modernize existing lines for new products, capacity changes, or automated operations while managing downtime, equipment integration, and capital investment carefully.

End-to-End Manufacturing Solutions

Automation Built Around Your Production

Every manufacturing challenge calls for more than an off-the-shelf robot. GLOBAL engineers complete automation systems around your process, parts, quality requirements, and available floor space—then supports the people and equipment behind the launch. For Michigan automotive, EV, and industrial facilities, AI-assisted simulation helps identify issues before installation, while FANUC-based systems provide flexible, scalable performance from individual cells to connected production lines.
