Our Custom Equipment Design & Build Services

Purpose-built robotic automation systems engineered for demanding manufacturing processes, production goals, and plant constraints.

Turnkey Integration

Complete robotic systems engineered from concept through simulation, build, installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing support for a coordinated production launch.

Robotic Assembly

Custom assembly cells combine pick-and-place, fastening, dispensing, fixturing, testing, and traceability to produce consistent, documented results at higher throughput.

Robotic Welding

Welding cells are designed around part geometry, weld specifications, production rates, positioning, and optional vision guidance for repeatable, high-quality joining.

Material Handling

Flexible handling systems automate picking, palletizing, racking, transfers, and conveyor integration with robot tooling, controls, and safety systems matched to each application.

Machine Vision

Vision-guided automation identifies, locates, inspects, and tracks parts in-line, enabling adaptable robotic processes while reducing scrap and rework.

Line Modernization

Targeted retrofits and production line upgrades add automation, improve capacity, and support product changeovers while minimizing disruption and capital exposure.

Meet the GLOBAL Team

Experienced automation specialists focused on solving complex manufacturing challenges.

Founded in 2008, GLOBAL Automation Technologies was built to solve manufacturing problems through automation. It recognized that manufacturers need more than a robotic system—they need qualified engineers to launch, operate, and improve it—so it combined robotic systems integration and technical staffing under one roof, giving clients one source for both. Today its 110+ team members work across system design, controls, simulation, programming, installation, and plant-floor support. With offices in four countries and projects completed in 22 countries, GLOBAL brings broad manufacturing perspective to every engagement.
