Capital Project Engineer Support for Plant Automation Investments

For plant leaders, manufacturing engineers and controls teams at U.S. high-volume manufacturers facing new lines, model-year changeovers or capacity gaps, GLOBAL Automation Technologies provides capital project engineering support. From early feasibility analysis through system integration, line upgrades, and on-site engineering, our team helps define scope, evaluate risks, coordinate execution, and keep launches on track for production, quality, and throughput goals.

Our Capital Project Engineer Services

Engineering support for automation planning, execution, modernization, and the technical resources needed to deliver complex manufacturing projects.

Feasibility Studies

Evaluate processes, workflows, cycle times, facility constraints, and expected ROI before committing capital to a robotic automation project or production-line investment.

Turnkey Integration

Coordinate engineering, simulation, controls, build, installation, commissioning, training, and support for complete robotic systems from concept through production launch.

On-Site Engineering

Add project managers, controls engineers, PLC programmers, mechanical designers and commissioning professionals for defined scopes, from single visits to resident programs.

Integrated Project Support

Turn Capital Plans Into Production Results

Capital projects require more than equipment selection. GLOBAL Automation Technologies connects process analysis, automation design, project coordination, and qualified engineering resources in one practical offering. Our team helps manufacturers establish a realistic scope, evaluate production requirements, plan implementation, and manage the transition from concept to operating system. AI-assisted simulation supports earlier decisions, helping reduce programming surprises before deployment.

The GLOBAL Difference

Why Choose GLOBAL Automation Technologies?

One partner for the automation system and the engineers who support it.

Proof of Process

Process development, feasibility work and sample parts are run before you commit capital to the project.

FANUC Level 5 Integrator

Level 5 is the top tier of FANUC's Authorized System Integrator program, reserved for partners with demonstrated engineering capability across a broad range of applications.

Full Lifecycle

From feasibility through commissioning and support, teams maintain continuity across critical project stages, with one contract, one project manager, and FAT and SAT sign-offs before launch.

Smarter Planning

AI-assisted simulation and offline programming help identify issues earlier, before deployment.

Meet The GLOBAL Team

Automation professionals built for complex manufacturing projects.

GLOBAL Automation Technologies was founded in 2009 to solve manufacturing problems through automation. The company recognized that manufacturers often needed two things at once: a capable robotic system and experienced people to engineer, launch, and sustain it. GLOBAL built its model around delivering both. Today, its 110+ team members support manufacturers through automation solutions and engineering services, bringing capabilities in project management, controls, robotics, mechanical design, commissioning, and production support. With offices in four countries, projects completed across 22 countries, and a strong presence with automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in North America, GLOBAL applies lessons from demanding manufacturing environments to each capital project. Its vision remains direct: provide a single source for the system and the engineers to run it. In the last five years, GLOBAL has delivered 745+ automation projects, from workstations and robot cells to complete lines and greenfield builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of a project engineer?

A project engineer helps turn a technical objective into an executable project. In manufacturing automation, that can include defining scope, reviewing process requirements, coordinating design disciplines, tracking schedules and risks, supporting equipment integration, and validating readiness for launch. The role connects stakeholders, suppliers, engineers, and plant operations so technical decisions align with cost, quality, safety, and production goals.
