Material Handling Automation

You need a partner who understands the nuances of custom material handling solutions—not someone in their garage and not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is an expert in the automation of material handling. From difficult to handle parts to seldom seen specialty material handling methods; never forgetting to have the end in mind. We live and breathe this world every day.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. The myriad ways to handle an infinite number of parts
2. Getting parts from a piled mess into an orderly fashion
3. Where the latest in bin picking and AI fits in the material handling world
4. Mistake proof ways to orientate parts
5. Mistake-proofing the process

Common pitfalls of material handling automation that we ensure you don’t fall into:

• Not accounting for the efficiency of the method
• Not considering the roles of buffers and accumulators
• Overloading equipment

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve rescued failed material handling projects, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make custom material handling solutions successful.

Our custom machine-building process starts with a phone call and a visit where we listen, throw around crazy ideas, and ask “what if” together. It’s a lot of fun compared to the daily grind. But we don’t prescribe before diagnosing. We seek to understand the drivers and business results that warrant the investment in a custom machine. You want a bespoke custom machine tailored to your needs, and it must deliver business results on time so you can make a return on your investment. We know it’s not about deploying a particular technology or brand; it’s all about achieving your business goal.

Your crazy idea might work. We exist to Invent Automation. Call, email, or chat with us here and talk to an inventor who gets it, so your custom machine can get built and you can get that win.
