Finishing system automation
Engineering, controls, installation and start-up for industrial paint and finishing lines. We automate the flow of parts through your booths, ovens and wash systems and integrate with the finishing equipment you already run.
Founder-led · 20 years delivering turnkey systems together
What we do
The automation layer for your finishing line
Your process equipment is your supplier's expertise. Moving parts through it reliably and on schedule is ours.
Engineering and layout
System layout from your floor plan and process sequence. Rates, routing and equipment interfaces worked out before anything is built.
Controls and safety
Industrial PLC-based control systems built on standard, serviceable components. Safety designed in to recognized machine-safety standards, with documentation your plant can maintain.
Installation and start-up
Mechanical and electrical installation managed through to commissioning. We stay through debug and start-up until the line runs at rate.
Support
The engineers who designed your system are the ones who answer the phone. Remote diagnostics, spare-parts planning and on-site service. Request parts or service.
How we work
Engineer-to-order, start to finish
Define
Process sequence, part sizes, rates, oven and booth constraints, and the equipment we need to integrate with.
Engineer
Layout, structural, controls and electrical design, with a firm scope and a fixed price before fabrication.
Build and install
Fabrication through installation, coordinated with your finishing-equipment supplier and your production schedule.
Start up and support
Commissioning, operator training and documentation. Then ongoing support from the same team.
