Material Handling
Custom robotic material handling systems coordinate pick-and-place, palletizing, racking, bin picking, and inter-station transfer with synchronized conveyor integration, controls, guarding, tooling, and PLC connectivity.
GLOBAL Automation Technologies designs and builds integrated conveyor, robotics, and custom machine solutions that keep manufacturing operations moving. From material flow and machine tending to assembly, inspection, and line upgrades, our engineers create systems around your parts, pace, floor space, and production goals. Gain dependable throughput, consistent quality, and a scalable foundation for demanding industrial operations.
Integrated robotics, material flow, custom equipment, and modernization services built around demanding manufacturing requirements.
Custom robotic material handling systems coordinate pick-and-place, palletizing, racking, bin picking, and inter-station transfer with synchronized conveyor integration, controls, guarding, tooling, and PLC connectivity.
Robotic machine tending cells automate loading, unloading, part orientation, and cycle starts for CNC machines, presses, molding equipment, and multi-machine operations to increase utilization and extend unattended production.
Integrated robotic assembly cells combine component handling, insertion, fastening, dispensing, testing, inspection, traceability, custom fixtures, and material movement to deliver repeatable production performance.
Vision-guided automation identifies parts, verifies orientation, tracks moving components, supports bin picking, and inspects quality as parts move, helping systems handle process variation with less dedicated fixturing.
End-to-end system integration covers process studies, simulation, mechanical and controls engineering, fabrication, installation, commissioning, training, documentation, and ongoing technical support for complete automation systems.
Automation retrofits modernize existing manufacturing lines for product launches, capacity needs, and improved processes while helping manufacturers minimize downtime and make practical use of current equipment.
GLOBAL Automation Technologies turns disconnected production steps into coordinated systems that move parts reliably from one operation to the next. Each project begins with a process study of part geometry, routing, cycle times, and floor space, then moves into conveyor and machine selection—belt, roller, chain, slat, or power-and-free—matched to the loads and flow the line requires. Controls and PLC zone logic are engineered to coordinate transfers, accumulation, and handoffs to FANUC robots and custom machinery, with safety guarding and interlocks built into the layout. GLOBAL fabricates, installs, and commissions the system, then runs it off against production requirements before launch. Whether launching a new line or upgrading an established operation, manufacturers gain an integrated path to higher throughput, better consistency, and safer work.

Engineering, integration, and technical talent under one roof.
GLOBAL Automation Technologies was founded in 2008 to solve manufacturing problems with automation. Recognizing that manufacturers need more than a system integrator, GLOBAL combined robotic systems integration with technical staffing to provide both through one partner. Over 18+ years, its 110+ team members have supported projects from plant floors and simulation labs to customer sites in 22 countries. Headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, GLOBAL advances its engineering through AI-assisted simulation and practical, application-focused problem solving.
As a systems integrator, GLOBAL specifies and connects the conveyor technology that fits each application—belt, roller, chain, slat, pallet-transfer, and power-and-free among them. Belt and roller suit stable cartons and totes, chain and slat carry heavier or hot parts, and power-and-free supports asynchronous carriers that stop and start independently along a route. Selection weighs part weight, orientation, footprint, and how the line must branch, buffer, or feed automated cells.
