HomeApplications
We don’t specialise in one vertical. We specialise in understanding operations. These are the application families we assess and deliver most often, across the sectors where they matter.
01 Applications
Every application is assessed on its own merits. The same task can be a strong candidate on one site and a poor one on another, depending on volume, variation and layout.
Building and breaking down pallets at line end, in goods in and in distribution, including mixed-SKU and layer handling.
Typical technology
What we look at: Pallet patterns, case variation, label orientation, pallet exchange and floor space.
Loading and unloading CNC machines, presses, injection moulding and test equipment, so skilled people spend time on skilled work.
Typical technology
What we look at: Cycle times, part presentation, door and fixture interlocks, and batch sizes.
Case erecting, packing, sealing, labelling and wrapping at the point where lines often hit their constraint.
Typical technology
What we look at: Pack formats, changeovers, upstream variability and line balance.
Automated visual inspection, measurement and traceability that remove subjectivity and catch defects earlier.
Typical technology
What we look at: Defect definitions, lighting, line speed, data retention and false-reject tolerance.
Moving materials between processes with AMRs, AGVs and conveyors, reducing forklift traffic and manual transport.
Typical technology
What we look at: Routes, traffic, floor condition, handover points and WMS integration.
Goods-to-person, piece picking and sortation that raise pick rates and accuracy without adding headcount.
Typical technology
What we look at: SKU profile, order profile, peak variation and storage density.
Repetitive assembly and process tasks such as dispensing, screwdriving, fastening, kitting and marking.
Typical technology
What we look at: Tolerances, part variation, takt time and error-proofing.
Consistent welding, grinding, deburring and finishing where quality depends on repeatability and the environment is hard on people.
Typical technology
What we look at: Joint access, fixturing, batch variety, fume and dust control.
Any task that is unsafe, unpleasant, repetitive or persistently hard to staff, even if it doesn’t fit a neat category.
Typical technology
What we look at: Risk assessment, ergonomics, redeployment of people and whether automation is genuinely the safest fix.
02 Sectors
Our method transfers across sectors because it starts with the process, not the industry label.
Discrete and batch production, machining, fabrication and assembly.
Primary and secondary packing, end-of-line and hygienic environments.
Distribution centres, cross-docking and value-added services.
E-commerce, retail and spare-parts fulfilment operations.
Tier suppliers, component manufacture and sub-assembly.
Heavy, abrasive or high-volume handling and processing.
High-mix packing, co-packing and seasonal peaks.
Regulated, traceable and clean environments.
03 Is it a candidate?
If two or more of these sound familiar, a site assessment is likely to be worthwhile. If none do, we’ll probably tell you to save your money.
