Our Engineering System Solutions Services

Integrated robotic engineering, modernization, and workforce solutions for complex manufacturing environments.

Turnkey Robot Integration

Complete robotic systems engineered from concept and simulation through design, build, installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing production support.

Machine Tending

Custom robot cells automate part loading, unloading, orientation, and machine-cycle starts to increase spindle utilization and extend unattended production.

Robotic Welding

Purpose-built welding cells combine robots, fixtures, tooling, positioning, and optional vision guidance for consistent weld quality, throughput, and safer operations.

Material Handling

Flexible FANUC robot systems manage pick-and-place, palletizing, bin picking, racking, conveyor transfers, and part presentation around production requirements.

Vision and AI Guidance

Machine vision and intelligent guidance enable part identification, orientation verification, inspection, tracking, and adaptive robotic work on variable production processes.

Line Upgrades

Modernize existing lines with new equipment, robot retrofits, controls improvements, and automated processes while minimizing downtime and capital disruption.

End-to-End Engineering

Automation Built Around Your Production Goals

GLOBAL Automation Technologies turns complex manufacturing requirements into integrated, production-ready systems. Engineers assess process needs and develop layouts and simulations, then progress through mechanical and controls design and build. Systems are proven in a factory acceptance test before they ship, followed by installation, on-site startup, and run-off against the agreed production sequence, with robots, controls, vision, tooling, and data connectivity integrated around the equipment a plant already runs. Because GLOBAL also provides technical staffing, manufacturers can source the automation system and qualified engineering talent through one partner—reducing handoffs while supporting quality, safety, throughput, and scalable operations.

Meet the GLOBAL Team

Automation engineers built for demanding manufacturing environments.

GLOBAL Automation Technologies was founded in 2008 to solve manufacturing problems through automation, built on a single idea: manufacturers should not have to choose between a capable robotic system integrator and the skilled engineers needed to support production. GLOBAL combines both under one roof. Over 18+ years, the team has grown to more than 110 members, with offices in four countries and project experience across 22 countries. From an Auburn Hills, Michigan headquarters, GLOBAL supports automotive, EV, heavy equipment, aerospace, and general-industry manufacturers with an applications-first approach.

18+ YearsSolving manufacturing automation challenges since 2008.
