Industrial Automation Services Built Around Your Production Realities

We design assembly and testing systems that integrate with your workflow, your data requirements, and the performance targets that drive daily production.

Get Industrial Automation Solutions

Phoenix Technologies builds custom automation that reflects the actual conditions of your operation — cycle times, part variation, operator interaction, and the upstream or downstream steps that shape the process. Our assembly and testing systems bring clarity and predictability to demanding environments, delivering controlled performance and clean integration with your order flow, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) structure, and plant systems. Whether you need a single automated system or a fully integrated production line, our industrial automation solutions are engineered to improve efficiency and accuracy across your manufacturing processes.

capabilities

Our custom automation assembly and testing capabilities

We engineer every solution around your specific process requirements, from precision assembly and automated testing to adaptable tooling and integrated data connectivity. Examples of our specific manufacturing automation services include:

Precision Assembly Systems

We design automated assembly equipment that manages complex part handling, joining, fastening, and alignment tasks with stable repeatability and validated process control. These systems hold tight tolerances across high-mix production runs, keeping quality consistent as part specifications change.

Automated Testing and Verification Equipment

We build testing systems — including leak, electrical, dimensional, and functional tests — that provide reliable validation and clear data output for every part that passes through the process. Every unit passes through a defined test sequence, catching defects before parts ship.

Flexible, Recipe-Driven Platforms

Our systems support part variations, retoolable nests, and recipe changes, allowing equipment to evolve as your program or product mix changes. Operators can quickly switch between programs, keeping changeovers from slowing down productivity.

Integrated Data and EDI Connectivity

Automation is engineered to align with your plant's data environment, enabling accurate order flow, traceability, and clean communication with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and quality systems. These automation integration services give your team real-time production data without manual entry or duplicate recordkeeping.

Let's Talk Automation

workflow

Our Automation Implementation Process

We develop custom, industrial automation equipment through a disciplined engineering workflow that emphasizes clarity early and stability at launch.

A typical cycle includes:

Requirements Definition

We document process conditions, constraints, part details, and performance expectations before engineering begins. These targets serve as benchmarks for measuring your equipment's performance.

Concept and Technical Architecture

Mechanical, controls, and data paths are defined together to form a system designed for predictable performance. Mapping these requirements up front gives you a unified system that scales as your production demands change.

Build, Program, and Validate

Equipment is fabricated, assembled, programmed, and tested to confirm accuracy, reliability, and alignment with production needs. Our processes identify and resolve potential performance issues before the equipment reaches your facility.

Install, Runoff, and Support

Systems are installed, validated on your floor, and supported through launch to ensure they perform as designed in real production. This comprehensive support helps minimize initial downtime while bringing your operators up to speed quickly.

performance

Performance benchmarks for custom automation equipment

We evaluate each custom system against established performance standards during testing and runoff cycles.
‍
Adhering to these standards means your operation experiences benefits like:

Proven Reliability

Every system is validated for consistent cycle times before it ever reaches your floor. This consistency gives your team predictable performance and tighter process control from day one.

Higher Yield

Automation reduces the variability that causes scrap and rework, improving first-pass yield across every run. Fewer rejected parts lead to improved efficiency and less material waste.

Reduced Manual Handling

Automated systems perform repetitive part handling tasks, freeing operators for higher-value work. Automating these tasks also reduces labor costs and gives you greater staffing flexibility during production spikes.

Built For Uptime

Equipment is designed with simple access, allowing crews to perform maintenance without significant disruption to production. Simple access also lowers long-term maintenance costs while helping extend the operational life of your equipment.
