Industrial Automation

Automating Operations and Production Environments.

From hand tools to smart factories, OTS has powered manufacturing progress for more than 50 years, helping industry leaders adapt, integrate, and thrive through every era of change.

Solution focus

We help manufacturers build safer, smarter, and more efficient operations by delivering integrated solutions across every stage of production. Our specialized industrial automation engineering focuses directly on retooling assembly lines, smart robotic cell deployment, part washing automation, and custom industrial engineering to optimize your production environments.

Process Optimization & Cell Integration

True industrial automation transitions traditional operations into connected, data-enabled smart factories. Moving past generic components, we co-create tailored automation frameworks engineered to solve complex manufacturing bottlenecks and deliver absolute process reliability.

  • Assembly Line Retooling: Comprehensive engineering adjustments and process optimization designed to successfully reconfigure legacy workflows for new production lines.
  • Smart Robotic Cell Deployment: Advanced deployment of articulated robotic arms, autonomous weld stations, and smart integration cells engineered to handle repetitive sequences flawlessly.
  • Part Washing Automation: Highly efficient, fully automated component and part washing automation cells integrated directly into your assembly framework.
  • Custom Industrial Engineering: Tailored automation architectures, custom frame limit switches, and robotics integration engineered to keep modern operations running at their best.

Documented Return on Investment (ROI)

Our solutions-engineering approach isolates clear production pain points and develops a defined return on investment that captures the exact monetary impact on your facility's operations.

  • Throughput Boost: Accelerated discrete assembly cycle times through comprehensive process optimization and streamlined cell coordination.
  • Quality Metrics: Heightened path precision, continuous quality control validation, and minimized component scrap rates.
  • Uptime Extension: Drastically reduced machinery breakdown hours through robust mechanical design and smart condition monitoring.
  • Safety Gains: Slashed workplace ergonomic strain injuries by transitioning high-hazard welding and handling sequences to automated cells.
