Custom Automated Controls for Smarter Manufacturing

GLOBAL Automation Technologies engineers custom automated controls that connect robots, machines, vision, and production data into dependable manufacturing systems. From a single cell to a complex line upgrade, our team designs controls around your process, throughput targets, and quality requirements. Use AI-assisted simulation, integrated safety, and in-line validation to reduce startup uncertainty, protect uptime, and create a scalable path to more productive operations.

Our Custom Automated Controls Services

Integrated controls, robotics, vision, and production-line solutions built around demanding manufacturing processes.

Turnkey System Integration

Complete robotic automation systems from process study and simulation through controls engineering, build, installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing support.

Line Controls Upgrades

Modernize existing production lines with new controls, robot integration, equipment upgrades, and optimized automated operations while minimizing downtime and capital investment.

Machine Vision Guidance

Vision-guided controls identify, locate, inspect, and track parts in-line, enabling flexible handling, adaptive processes, and earlier defect detection.

Robotic Assembly Controls

Integrate pick-and-place, fastening, dispensing, testing, traceability, and inspection into coordinated assembly cells designed for repeatable production performance.

Machine Tending Automation

Automate machine loading, unloading, door cycles, and part handling with controls tailored to equipment, part geometry, cycle time, and unattended operation.

Material Handling Systems

Deploy controls for robotic pick-and-place, palletizing, bin picking, conveyor synchronization, racking, and inter-station transfer across production environments.

Built Around Your Process

Controls That Make Automation Perform

Custom automated controls turn individual machines and robots into a coordinated production system. GLOBAL Automation Technologies aligns PLC integration, robot programming, safety guarding, HMIs, machine vision, and process validation with the actual parts and operating goals, then carries the work through controls architecture, panel build, programming, factory testing, installation, and commissioning run-off. AI-assisted simulation helps resolve issues before deployment, and the team supports production launch. The result is a practical, scalable solution built to improve throughput, consistency, visibility, and long-term manufacturing resilience.

Meet the GLOBAL Team

Engineering, integration, and staffing expertise working as one.

Founded in 2009, GLOBAL Automation Technologies was built to solve manufacturing problems through automation. Early on it saw that manufacturers need more than a robotic system—they need experienced people to implement, launch, and sustain it—which shaped an approach combining automation solutions, services and technical staffing under one roof. Today its 110+ team members support demanding manufacturing environments across North America and worldwide, with offices in four countries and project experience in 22 countries. An applications-first mindset draws on lessons from automotive, heavy industry, and aerospace to build practical solutions. Over the last five years, GLOBAL has delivered 745+ automation projects across 140+ manufacturing facilities, running each through one contract, one project manager and one point of contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does GLOBAL build into a custom automated controls system?

A GLOBAL controls system coordinates PLCs, robot controllers, HMIs, sensors, safety devices, and drives into one reliable sequence. Engineering covers electrical design, control panel design and build, PLC and HMI programming, and safety integration. Everything is scoped around the machines, parts, cycle time, and floor-space constraints of the specific operation.
