Factory Automation Systems for U.S. High-Volume Manufacturers

For manufacturing and controls engineers and plant leaders at U.S. high-volume manufacturers facing bottleneck stations, inconsistent quality, labor gaps and unplanned downtime, GLOBAL Automation Technologies designs, builds, and supports robotic factory automation systems. From first feasibility study through commissioning and long-term support, our engineers create integrated solutions for demanding production environments. One contract and one project manager reduce handoffs and help your operation move confidently from concept to production.

Our Factory Automation Services

End-to-end robotic systems, engineering expertise, and production support for complex manufacturing operations.

Turnkey Integration

Complete robotic automation delivery, from process study and simulation through engineering, build, installation, commissioning, training, documentation, and ongoing support for production-ready manufacturing systems.

Machine Tending

Custom robot cells automate loading, unloading, door operation, and machine starts for CNC equipment, presses, molding machines, and multi-machine applications, increasing utilization and unattended operation.

Robotic Welding

Robotic welding cells combine fixtures, tooling, positioning, programming, and optional vision guidance to deliver repeatable weld quality, faster throughput, reduced rework, and improved operator safety.

Assembly Automation

Integrated robotic assembly systems handle pick-and-place, insertion, fastening, dispensing, testing, inspection, data collection, and traceability for consistent, high-throughput final assembly operations.

Material Handling

Vision-guided robotic handling systems support bin picking, palletizing, depalletizing, racking, conveyor transfer, and part presentation while accounting for part geometry, cycle times, and floor space.

Vision and AI Guidance

Machine vision and intelligent guidance help robots locate variable parts, inspect quality, verify placement, track moving products, reduce fixturing needs where the application suits it, and automate complex processes with confidence.

End-to-End Expertise

Automation Built Around Your Production Goals

GLOBAL Automation Technologies turns production challenges into practical, integrated automation systems. The team evaluates your process, equipment, quality requirements, throughput targets, and facility constraints, then designs the robotic cell or line and moves through simulation, controls, and build. Each system is proven in a factory acceptance test before it ships, followed by installation, on-site startup, and run-off against the agreed production sequence. With capabilities spanning machine vision, PLC/HMI controls, commissioning, and engineering services, GLOBAL provides continuity from early planning to sustained production—helping manufacturers reduce risk, improve consistency, and scale intelligently.

Meet the GLOBAL Team

Engineering expertise for complex manufacturing automation challenges.

Founded in 2009, GLOBAL Automation Technologies was built to solve manufacturing problems through automation. The company saw that manufacturers often had to source robotic systems and the engineering services behind them separately, creating handoffs and risk, and brought both capabilities under one roof. Today its 110+ team members support automation projects across North America and around the world, working on plant floors, in simulation labs, and at customer sites. With offices in four countries and project experience in 22 countries, GLOBAL pairs global perspective with hands-on manufacturing knowledge built over 17+ years. Every solution runs under one contract with a single project manager and point of contact, and GLOBAL proves the process in simulation before you buy.
