Our Industrial Automation Services

End-to-end robotic systems and modernization services for complex manufacturing operations.

Turnkey Integration

Complete robotic automation delivery, from process studies and simulation through engineering, build, installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing support for manufacturing teams.

FANUC Robot Integration

FANUC-based robotic systems engineered for welding, painting, dispensing, assembly, material handling, and machine tending applications with coordinated controls and production support.

Machine Tending

Custom robot cells automate CNC loading, press tending, molding, and secondary operations, helping manufacturers extend unattended operation and improve equipment utilization.

Robotic Welding

Robotic welding cells combine fixtures, tooling, positioning, programming, and optional vision guidance to deliver repeatable weld quality, greater throughput, and safer operations.

Material Handling

Vision-guided material handling systems support pick-and-place, palletizing, bin picking, racking, transfer, and conveyor integration around production requirements and floor-space constraints.

Line Modernization

Production-line retrofits and upgrades help manufacturers integrate new equipment, automate manual processes, support launches, and expand capacity while minimizing disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of automation does GLOBAL build?

GLOBAL builds custom robotic cells and turnkey lines for material handling, machine tending, welding, assembly, and vision-guided tasks. Systems are engineered around the customer's parts, rates, and quality goals rather than sold as fixed products. Controls and PLC integration are handled in-house so the robotics and logic arrive together.
