Custom Automation Solutions

When standard solutions don't fit, we engineer custom machines for your unique challenges

AMD Automation excels at solving manufacturing challenges that don't fit standard automation solutions. When you need something that doesn't exist, we create it.

Why Custom?

Standard automation products work well for common applications. But manufacturing often presents unique challenges:

  • Unusual part geometries or materials
  • Proprietary processes that require specialized equipment
  • Space or layout constraints
  • Integration with existing equipment
  • Unique quality or safety requirements
  • Production volumes between manual and high-volume automation

For these situations, a custom-engineered solution delivers better results than adapting standard equipment.

Our Process

Discovery - We start by thoroughly understanding your challenge. Our engineers visit your facility, study your process, and document requirements in detail.

Concept Development - We develop multiple concepts and evaluate trade-offs between complexity, cost, and capability. You participate in selecting the direction.

Detailed Design - Full mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering with 3D models and simulation where appropriate.

Build & Test - Fabrication, assembly, and thorough testing at our facility before shipping.

Installation - On-site installation, commissioning, and validation at your facility.

Training & Support - Comprehensive training followed by ongoing technical support.
