Automation Discovery Program

We’ve spent the last four decades designing and deploying more than 700 tailored automation solutions for a diverse range of domestic and international clients.

We've learnt that the best automation outcomes are built on long-term partnerships, individualised automation strategies that deliver tangible business value and sharing a unified vision to empower the Australian manufacturing industry.

Our approach begins with the five-step Automation Discovery Program (ADP), a collaborative process that allows us to understand unique operational challenges and design automation solutions that drive innovation, bring competitive advantage and have a lasting impact.

01 Discover

Our Automation Discovery Program is designed to guide businesses in identifying the most effective automation solutions for their production needs. We begin the process with a discovery call and an observation workshop, facilitated by our in-house innovation team to understand your operational challenges and unique production goals in-depth.

02 Analyse

From the insights gathered in the discovery and observation workshops, we analyse the system bottlenecks and critical innovation elements including problem validation, technical feasibility, and commercial return on investment, ensuring a comprehensive foundation for the next steps.

03 Conceptualise

When automation opportunities are discovered, we develop early design concepts and business case documentation including 3D CAD mock-ups, concept simulations and comparisons to existing solutions to meet businesses output opportunities and project scale.

04 Develop

In close collaboration with our customers, we refine the automation design concepts, incorporating advanced architectural design.

Through reach analysis and cycle time simulations, we ensure optimal system performance and provide businesses with a tailored implementation strategy and use statistical analysis and modelling to calculate return on investment.

05 Propose

We understand that precise and timely documentation is crucial for informed decision-making. That’s why we offer our 21-Day Proposal Guarantee, ensuring comprehensive proposals within three weeks of our initial meeting.

After thorough analysis and iterative refinement, we present a working prototype and virtual concept demonstration. This is complemented by detailed solution documentation and a business case to support your strategic discussions and decisions.
