Innovative Engineering and Industrial Services

GLOBAL's engineering covers the disciplines behind a working automated system: process and feasibility studies, mechanical and tooling design, offline simulation, controls and PLC/HMI engineering, robot programming, and safety design. These can be delivered as a turnkey system or as engineering support that reinforces a manufacturer's own team. GLOBAL's staffing division can also place engineers directly, from controls and mechanical designers to commissioning and installation engineers.

GLOBAL supports automotive, electric vehicle, heavy equipment, agriculture, aerospace, defense, appliance, consumer products, and general industrial manufacturers. Engineering work is common where production involves repetitive handling, welding, assembly, dispensing, coating, inspection, or machine loading. Each engagement is shaped around the operation's parts, materials, cycle time, quality documentation, and production volume.

Projects follow a defined engineering path: feasibility study and concept, detailed mechanical and controls design supported by simulation, build and integration, a factory acceptance test (FAT) on representative parts, on-site installation, and a supervised run-off in the plant. Simulation and pre-deployment programming address issues during design rather than at startup. Each phase gives the customer a checkpoint before production launch.

Yes. As a Level 5 FANUC integrator, GLOBAL frequently engineers systems on FANUC robots with controls built on standard PLC/HMI architecture. When a plant maintains its own controls standards, preferred component brands, or spare-parts strategy, the design is engineered to match, and interfaces to existing lines and equipment are defined during design. This keeps the delivered system supportable by the plant's team.

GLOBAL does both. Engineering can produce a new standalone system or modernize existing lines through robot retrofits, new equipment integration, manual-to-automated conversion, model-year changeovers, or added inspection and data collection. Engineers assess current equipment, layout, and the available downtime window before scoping an upgrade that improves output while limiting disruption.

GLOBAL supports the transition with training, as-built documentation, and follow-up engineering as requirements change. Preventive maintenance and calibration are handled between scheduled maintenance windows to keep the system predictable. Through its staffing division, GLOBAL can supply controls engineers, programmers, designers, and technicians to support, optimize, or expand the system, or to reinforce internal teams during later phases of work.

A productive feasibility study usually starts with the current process, part drawings or samples, production volumes, target cycle time, quality criteria, available floor space, and known constraints. GLOBAL evaluates workflow, labor content, tooling, and safety to identify viable automation opportunities and outline a concept and scope. A defined project is not required to begin, since the study itself often shapes the engineering path.
