03

Concept Design

See the cell before you build it.

  • Lays out stations, robots, conveyors and operator access
  • Selects major equipment and checks the footprint
  • Produces concept views your customer can picture

You get

  • Cell layout
  • Equipment list
  • Footprint
  • Concept views
Costed bill of materials with quantity, cost and lead time per line, a 92,450 USD total and the 14-week critical lead item flagged

04

Quote

Priced, scheduled, ready to send.

  • Builds a costed BOM from your vendors and history
  • Estimates labor hours by discipline
  • Drafts the schedule and proposal in your template

You get

  • Costed BOM
  • Labor hours
  • Timeline
  • Proposal document

    Material Handling

    Conveyors, transfers, AGV and AMR integration.

  • Enclosed end-of-line test station with an operator display

    Assembly & Test

    Press, dispense, leak and functional test.

  • Filling heads dosing product into containers on a packaging line

    Packaging & End of Line

    Case pack, palletize, label and wrap.

Industries
