Custom Automation Solutions
Robots, feeders, and full lines, built around your process.
From a single station to a full line, we design, build, and support the system in-house, engineered around your parts, your tolerances, and your production.
COMMON PROBLEM WE SOLVE
You need automation. You can't afford to get it wrong.
One slow step is holding back your whole line.
A manual bottleneck caps the output of everything around it. Hiring more people to cover it is slow, and turnover keeps resetting the clock. Automation looks like the answer, but it's a major decision to get wrong.
No one on your team has done this before.
The quotes look convincing, but nobody in-house can tell whether what's proposed fits your parts, your process, and your production. You're asked to commit to a major investment on trust.
You don't know who will be there once it's on your floor.
A system can arrive, get installed, and leave you to figure out programming, adjustments, and ramp-up on your own. If you've been there before, you know a system that isn't producing is a very expensive paperweight.
Solution
Get an automated system that checks all your boxes.
We evaluate your process before we quote, build everything under one roof, and stay on after install. The sooner you know what will work, the sooner manual work stops limiting what you can take on.
We look past the machine to your whole process.
Speeding up one step just moves the bottleneck. We look at what feeds the process and what happens after it, then design the welding, assembly, part feeding, or material handling your operation needs, from scratch or around equipment you already run.
We evaluate your process before we quote it.
Every project starts on your floor. We run a time study, review your tolerances, and film how your parts are made today. If your parts or process aren't ready for automation, you'll hear it from us, along with what it would take to get there.
Support is easy to promise. We pick up the phone.
We stay on long after the system ships. Troubleshooting, adjustments, and upgrades as your operation grows, from the people who built your system.
The Arcrite Method
Full turnkey project
from first visit to full
production.
Site visit and feasibility study
We visit your facility, run a time study, and review your parts and tolerances. Including upstream and downstream processes.
Concept and budget
You get a concept and a realistic budget, so you know the size of the investment before engineering starts.
Engineering and build
Our team designs, tools, programs, and builds your system locally in Waterford, Connecticut.
Install and training
We install on-site and train your team on changes upstream, downstream, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Ongoing support
We stay on for troubleshooting, adjustments, and upgrades as your operation grows, from the people who built it.
Built with proven technology.
Selected to fit your parts, your tolerances, your production. Not the other way around.
FAQs
Custom automation solutions are systems designed around your specific parts and process, rather than standard equipment you adapt to fit. That can mean robotic pick-and-place, part feeding, linear motion, material handling, or several of these tied together into one line. We evaluate your process on your floor, then design, build, and support the system in-house.
Ask how they start. A good partner evaluates your parts and process on your floor before quoting, engineers the controls, tooling, and programming in-house, and is still there after start-up. Ask who you'll call when something needs adjusting six months from now.
Standard industrial automation equipment includes robots, conveyors, sensors, and controls sold off the shelf. Custom automation equipment is the engineered system that ties those components to your parts and production. We build with proven automation equipment from brands like ABB, Kawasaki, and Omron, then design everything around it to fit your process.
Yes. Some projects start from scratch, and others connect to automated manufacturing equipment already on your floor. The on-site evaluation shows which approach makes sense for your process.
It depends on your parts, volume, and the reason you're automating. Some projects are a single station, others a full line. The evaluation tells you honestly whether custom automation pays off for your operation before you commit to anything.
No. We look at your parts, tolerances, and production, and tell you honestly what we find. There's no obligation attached.
