Industrial Automation: Why It Should Be Part of Your Manufacturing Process
Industrial automation has many benefits that lead to reduced labor cost, increased efficiency and increased throughput.
These benefits include: 24/7 production capabilities, precise and consistent part quality, increased speed and efficiency. A key benefit of industrial automation is that it allows the U.S. to be very competitive with low-wage labor countries.
There is more to industrial automation than simply adding a robot to the assembly line. Ellison Technologies examines the entire manufacturing process from the receipt of raw materials to the shipment of finished products. Our strength is in the ability to partner with manufacturers to optimize the entire manufacturing process and not just a component of the process. By maintaining this process-driven approach, we provide the highest possible financial return to their customers with a lower cost per piece and increased throughput.
Industrial Automation Offered by Ellison Technologies
We design, manufacture and program turnkey robotic automation systems for a myriad of manufacturing applications:
- Robotic assembly
- Robotic material handling
- The design and building of factory automation systems

Robots Cut Costs, Streamline Operations and Increase Productivity
Industrial automation and the use of robots:
- Increases spindle utilization
- Reduces labor content
- Increases quality
- Reduces waste
- Reduces overhead costs
- Has a short ROI period - sometimes the robot pays for itself in 1 - 2 years
- Robot can be re-deployed to a different process once the requirements change
- Robots answer the qualified labor shortage problem.
