Our Industrial Automation Services

Custom robotic integration, engineering, vision, machine tending, welding, and production modernization for complex manufacturing applications.

Turnkey System Integration

GLOBAL manages complete robotic automation projects from process studies and simulation through engineering, controls, installation, commissioning, training, documentation, and ongoing support.

FANUC Robot Integration

As a Level 5 FANUC Authorized System Integrator, GLOBAL integrates FANUC robots into welding, painting, dispensing, assembly, material handling, and machine tending systems.

Machine Vision Guidance

Vision-guided automation helps identify parts, verify position, inspect quality, guide robotic operations, and support flexible manufacturing processes with reduced fixturing.

Machine Tending Automation

Custom robotic tending systems automate machine loading, unloading, part orientation, cycle initiation, and multi-machine workflows to support greater spindle utilization and unattended operation.

Robotic Welding

GLOBAL engineers robotic welding cells around part geometry, weld requirements, production rates, tooling, fixtures, robot programming, and optional vision-based verification.

Line Modernization

Production line upgrades can include robot retrofits, equipment integration, manual-to-automated conversions, controls improvements, and support for new product or capacity requirements.

Custom Engineering Solutions

Automation Built Around Your Process

GLOBAL combines applications engineering, robotic integration, controls, simulation, vision, and production support to create automation around your equipment and process. Our team can evaluate facility constraints, part requirements, quality expectations, and workflow goals before developing a practical system concept. For manufacturers across the United States, this integrated approach supports safer, more consistent, and more productive operations without separating system delivery from engineering expertise. Over the past five years, GLOBAL has delivered 745+ automation projects, scaling from single robot cells ($20K–$500K) to multi-robot systems ($500K–$5M) and complete lines or greenfield facilities ($5M–$30M+).
