What We Hear From Manufacturers
"Labour is our biggest cost, and we can’t find staff"
Simple tasks tie up too many workers. Shortages and turnover make output and quality inconsistent.
"Standard machines don’t fit our process or space"
Space is tight, and fitting a standard machine isn't possible. Our process doesn’t suit standard equipment.
"We’re at capacity, so we turn work away"
Production is at capacity, so we turn down big contracts and lose the earnings and customer relationships that follow.
"Our machines need constant babysitting"
Our machines are unreliable, so someone who knows the equipment has to be on site to keep them running.
"Our imported machines are non-compliant"
Our machines don’t meet Australian safety standards. Workers are exposed to danger. Incidents put the business at risk.
"When a machine breaks, no one local can fix it"
Without local support, our team loses time diagnosing faults, breakdowns drag on, and operations struggle with orders.
What We Do
Bespoke Automated Systems
When standard equipment won’t fit your site or product, or can’t guarantee the outcome you need, we design and build custom automated systems made to deliver it.
Bespoke Machinery Modifications
Whether your existing machine is unreliable, unsafe, underperforming or missing a function, we design and build the custom modification that solves it.
Local Technical Support
Every day a machine is down or uncommissioned is lost production. We come to your Perth site and get it running. No chasing overseas suppliers or fixing it yourselves.
Why Us?
Recent Work
Silver Bar Processing Plant
Challenge
A major precious metals producer sought to improve the efficiency and safety of one of its high-volume manufacturing processes involving large-format silver bars. The existing workflow was heavily manual, requiring significant operator involvement for material handling, data entry, and quality checks. This approach introduced operational inefficiencies and increased the risk of human error.
Solution
To address these challenges, a custom automated system was developed in close collaboration with the client. The solution integrated mechanical handling, automated processing, and digital data capture into a single streamlined workflow. Key features included automated weighing, marking, and data logging, all designed to reduce manual handling and improve process reliability.
The system allowed operator time to be freed up and has enhanced workplace safety. All relevant production data was automatically captured and integrated into the client’s existing systems, minimising the risk of data entry errors and improving traceability.
Outcome
The implementation of this bespoke automation solution significantly improved operational efficiency, reduced manual labour, and enhanced data integrity. The client now benefits from a safer, faster, and more consistent production process.
