Automating Solutions for the Future of Manufacturing​

Industrial-scale automation in the 21st century is rapidly changing. With the current labor shortages along with rising labor costs, switching to robotic assembly automation has become a crucial next step for a lot of businesses. Midwest Engineered Systems has spent decades integrating automation products into existing production lines for businesses large and small. These automation solutions have provided our customers with increased production throughput, improved reliability and a great return on investment.

Automation has become a pillar in today’s production environments. With the physical demands required of material handling work and the lack of highly skilled labor to perform challenging work such as welding operations, many businesses are turning to automation technology in order to grow their operation. From palletizing to case packing to machine tending, MWES has the experience and knowledge in providing integration of a wide range of complicated automated solutions.

Components of Automation Technology

Conveyor Systems
Conveyance forms the backbone of any large-scale production line or material handling operations. Conveyors can integrate with many automation products that require an infeed and outfeed of materials.
Learn More about Conveyors
High-Speed Vision Systems
Vision systems are an important part of any automation solution. This technology ensures that material is identified and handled correctly by automation technology. It also keeps track of a number of metrics when the material is handled by automation.

Robotics
Robots handle the heavy lifting of any automation solution. They are responsible for manipulating and transferring the material, or in some instances, performing the manufacturing operations on the material.

End Effectors (EOAT)
End effectors, also commonly known as End-Of-Arm-Tool (EOAT), are basically the hands of a robot arm. These end effectors can be made up of a combination of grippers, sensors, vision systems and custom material processing tools.
