Our Industrial Automated Systems Services

Custom robotic systems and engineering support for complex, high-performance manufacturing operations.

Turnkey System Integration

End-to-end robotic automation from process study and simulation through design, build, installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing support.

Robotic Welding

Custom welding cells combine robot programming, fixtures, servo positioning, tooling, and optional vision for consistent, high-volume joining performance.

Machine Tending

Robotic tending systems load, unload, orient, and start machine cycles to increase spindle utilization and extend unattended production.

Robotic Assembly

Integrated assembly cells automate pick-and-place, fastening, dispensing, testing, inspection, data collection, and traceability for complex finished products.

Material Handling

Flexible FANUC robotic handling systems support palletizing, bin picking, racking, conveyor transfer, and accurate part presentation between operations.

Machine Vision Guidance

Vision-guided robots identify, locate, inspect, and track parts in-line, enabling adaptive automation with less dedicated fixturing.

End-to-End Engineering

Automation Built Around Your Production Goals

GLOBAL engineers industrial automated systems around the realities of your operation: part variation, cycle-time targets, available floor space, quality requirements, and production risk. The team connects robot simulation, PLC/HMI controls, machine vision, tooling, and safety into one design, then proves the system in a factory acceptance test before it ships. Installation, on-site startup, and run-off against the agreed production sequence follow at the plant. With automation solutions, services and technical staffing under one roof, manufacturers gain a single partner for implementation and the skilled resources needed to sustain performance. Project scale runs from workstations, tooling and robot cells ($20K–$500K) to multi-robot systems ($500K–$5M) and complete lines and greenfield builds ($5M–$30M+).

Meet the GLOBAL Team

Engineers and automation specialists solving manufacturing problems worldwide.

GLOBAL Automation Technologies was founded in 2009 to solve manufacturing problems through automation. From the beginning, GLOBAL recognized that manufacturers often needed more than a robotic system—they also needed experienced engineers to implement, operate, and improve it—so it combined automation solutions, services and technical staffing. Today GLOBAL has grown to more than 110 team members, with offices in four countries and project experience across 22 countries. Headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, the company serves manufacturers on five continents while advancing its practice over 17+ years of automation work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes up a GLOBAL industrial automated system?

A GLOBAL industrial automated system connects robots, PLC/HMI controls, end-of-arm tooling, fixtures, conveyors, safety systems, machine vision, and production-data collection into one coordinated line or cell. Typical applications include robotic welding, machine tending, vision-guided assembly and fastening, dispensing, palletizing, and in-line inspection. The build is engineered around specific parts, processes, cycle times, quality standards, and plant constraints.
