Our Custom Automation Machinery and Equipment Services

Integrated robotic equipment, engineering, and modernization services tailored to demanding manufacturing operations.

Turnkey Robot Integration

Complete robotic systems designed from process study through simulation, build, installation, commissioning, training, and long-term support. GLOBAL integrates robots, controls, vision, tooling, safety systems, and plant-floor connectivity into one coordinated solution.

Machine Tending

Custom machine tending cells automate loading, unloading, door operation, part orientation, and cycle starts for CNC machines, presses, molding equipment, and secondary operations. Vision, fixtures, and grippers are engineered around each application.

Robotic Welding

Robotic welding cells combine custom fixtures, servo positioning, tooling, programming, and optional vision guidance to support repeatable, high-volume joining. Systems improve weld consistency, throughput, operator safety, and quality verification across complex parts.

Robotic Assembly

Integrated assembly automation combines pick-and-place, fastening, insertion, dispensing, testing, inspection, and traceability. GLOBAL builds cells and lines that help manufacturers document process results while improving consistency and production capacity.

Material Handling

Flexible material handling systems manage pick-and-place, palletizing, de-palletizing, racking, transfer, and bin picking. Robot selection, end-of-arm tooling, conveyor synchronization, PLC integration, and guarding are engineered for available floor space and cycle requirements.

Vision and AI Guidance

Machine vision and intelligent guidance help robots identify, locate, inspect, and track parts in-line. These technologies support random bin picking, moving-line operations, adaptive processing, quality inspection, and reduced fixturing demands.

Engineered for Performance

Automation Built Around Your Production

GLOBAL Automation Technologies turns production requirements into custom automation machinery that fits the real conditions of an operation. The team evaluates parts, processes, throughput targets, floor space, safety needs, and quality controls, then carries the machine through concept, mechanical and controls design, build, factory acceptance testing, installation, and commissioning run-off. With automation solutions, services and technical staffing under one roof, manufacturers gain a single partner for equipment design, deployment, workforce support, and continuous improvement. Over the past five years GLOBAL has delivered 745+ automation projects, from workstations, tooling and robot cells ($20K – $500K) to multi-robot systems ($500K – $5M) and complete lines and greenfield facilities ($5M – $30M+).

Meet the GLOBAL Team

Automation specialists solving complex manufacturing challenges worldwide.

Founded in 2009, GLOBAL Automation Technologies was built to solve manufacturing problems through automation. It recognized that manufacturers need more than a robotic system—they need skilled people to engineer, launch, and maintain it—so it combined automation solutions, services and technical staffing into one model, coordinating equipment and talent through a single partner. Today its 110+ team members support demanding manufacturing environments with process studies, simulation, controls, robot programming, installation, commissioning, and ongoing support. Having installed more than 700 FANUC robots and completed work across 22 countries, GLOBAL pairs practical engineering with AI-assisted simulation tools.
