Our Industrial Equipment Engineering Services

End-to-end engineering capabilities for designing, upgrading, integrating, and supporting high-performing industrial automation equipment.

Turnkey System Integration

Complete robotic system delivery from process study and simulation through design, controls, build, installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing support for production-ready automation.

Automation Feasibility Studies

Process analysis, cycle-time evaluation, conceptual design, and ROI assessment that clarify where automation can deliver meaningful operational and financial value before capital commitments.

Line Upgrades

Modernize existing manufacturing lines for new launches, capacity growth, model changeovers, robot retrofits, and manual-to-automated conversions while minimizing disruption and capital exposure.

Machine Vision Integration

Vision-guided robotics for part identification, random bin picking, moving-line tracking, quality inspection, and in-line process verification in flexible manufacturing environments.

Robotic Assembly

Custom assembly cells combining pick-and-place, insertion, fastening, dispensing, testing, inspection, and traceability to improve repeatability, documentation, and production throughput.

Material Handling

Robotic part transfer, palletizing, racking, machine loading, and conveyor integration engineered around part geometry, cycle times, floor space, safety, and PLC requirements.

End-to-End Automation

Engineering That Moves Manufacturing Forward

GLOBAL Automation Technologies combines automation solutions, services and technical staffing to solve equipment challenges without forcing manufacturers to coordinate multiple partners. Our engineers evaluate process requirements, equipment constraints, safety needs, and production targets, then develop systems built for real plant conditions. With AI-assisted simulation, FANUC expertise, machine vision, controls, and on-site commissioning support, we help teams reduce startup risk, improve consistency, and put automation to productive use. Equipment is developed through a defined path—process study and concept, mechanical and controls design, build, factory acceptance testing, installation, and on-site run-off—so it is proven against agreed criteria before it reaches the plant floor.

Meet the GLOBAL Team

Engineering talent built for demanding manufacturing environments.

GLOBAL Automation Technologies was founded in 2009 to solve manufacturing problems through automation, recognizing that manufacturers need more than an integrated robotic system—they also need the people who can implement, optimize, and sustain it. That insight shaped an approach combining automation solutions, services and technical staffing under one roof. Over 17+ years, GLOBAL's 110+ team members have supported manufacturers with robotics, controls, simulation, and commissioning across demanding production environments, with offices in four countries and projects completed in 22 countries, including 745+ automation projects across 140+ manufacturing facilities in the last five years. The vision stays direct: provide the system and the engineers to run it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does GLOBAL deliver in a custom equipment engineering project?

GLOBAL engineers and builds custom automated equipment: the machine or robotic cell, tooling and fixtures, guarding, PLC and HMI controls, machine vision where needed, and the programming that runs it. Engineering-led projects begin by defining the process and machine requirements, then move through mechanical and controls design to a validated build. Manufacturers receive documented, production-ready equipment rather than a concept.

What industries does GLOBAL design equipment for?

How does an equipment engineering project move from concept to run-off?

Can equipment be engineered around our controls standards?

When does it make sense to re-engineer existing equipment versus build new?

What support does GLOBAL provide once equipment is in production?

How does a manufacturer begin an equipment engineering project?
