Consulting and System Integration Services for Plant Automation Projects

GLOBAL pairs automation consulting with hands-on system integration: it evaluates a manufacturing challenge, defines the concept, scope, and business case, then engineers, builds, installs, and commissions the system. This lets a plant move from an automation roadmap to a working line with one partner. Integration ties new robots, controls, vision, and tooling into the equipment already on the floor.

GLOBAL supports automotive, EV, aerospace, defense, heavy equipment, agriculture, appliance, consumer product, and general industrial manufacturers. Its consulting starts from the application rather than a single industry, so proven methods carry across sectors. Common engagements include feasibility studies, integration of welding, assembly, machine tending, and material-handling cells, and line modernization.

Engagements typically move from feasibility and concept, through mechanical and controls design, build, factory acceptance testing, installation, and on-site run-off. GLOBAL begins with process analysis and an ROI-focused concept, then engineers and simulates the system before build. Factory acceptance testing and run-off validate the integrated line against agreed criteria before and after installation.

Yes. GLOBAL integrates to the PLC and HMI platforms a plant standardizes on, so new automation ties into existing controls without forcing a change operators must relearn. GLOBAL supplies FANUC robots and can integrate and program other brands a plant already owns; drives, safety controllers, and vision can follow plant preferences. Integration uses the communication existing equipment already speaks, keeping the line consistent with in-house standards.

The consulting phase weighs the condition of existing equipment, required capacity, and how much of the current line still fits the process. GLOBAL evaluates current robots, controls, and constraints before recommending a retrofit or a new cell, with the trade-offs laid out in the concept and business case. Modernizing a useful line for a launch or capacity increase is often more practical than full replacement.

After commissioning, GLOBAL supports the handoff with operator and maintenance training, as-built documentation, and spare-parts guidance. Ongoing support is available as parts or requirements change, and GLOBAL controls engineers and programmers can provide engineering support to help sustain the system. Calibration and preventive tasks are planned around scheduled maintenance windows.

It starts with a conversation or a process review, and a defined project is not required. GLOBAL studies the workflow, parts, rates, and constraints, then develops a conceptual approach with scope, sequencing, and an ROI view. From there a manufacturer can move into a feasibility study or detailed integration engineering.
