Adaptable Automation Platform

Our adaptable platform is a next-generation modular automation system designed to accelerate deployment timelines, simplify reconfiguration, and support scalable manufacturing automation across industries.

This adaptable automation platform is built for flexibility:

Compatible with Siemens and Rockwell controls.
Supports a wide range of linear transport systems, including SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™.
Integrates seamlessly with Illuminate™ for real-time performance insights.
Designed with IP67-rated field devices and ergonomic access for simplified maintenance.
Mechanical and controls architecture engineered for modularity and expandability, enabling customization for diverse applications.
Standardized, modular design transforms the base into a redeployable asset that can be easily reconfigured and retooled to meet evolving production needs.

This Adaptable Platform Helps

Start Automation Earlier—Even When Product Designs Aren’t Finalized.

This modular platform enables pre-automation and parallel development to keep timelines on track and reduce bottlenecks.

De-Risk High-Complexity Processes Before Full Deployment.

Manufacturers can validate challenging processes on demo units before integrating into production.

Redeploy Automation Assets Across Programs & Facilities.

Standardized modules and plug-and-play integration make it easy to move tooling between bays or projects.

Redeploy Automation Assets Across Programs & Facilities.

The flexible configurations and local power/network connections support reconfiguration without long cable runs.

Support a Wide Range of Applications & Product Sizes Across Markets.

Ideal for moderate cycle time applications across consumer and industrial markets where agility and adaptability matter most.

Features & Benefits

Manufacturers can launch automation before finalizing product designs.

Tooling modules can be moved, reconfigured, expanded, or re-deployed as needed.

Flexible layouts save valuable floor space and costs while accelerating delivery.

Teams can validate challenging workflows on demo units before integrating into production.

Enables rapid development and deployment for multi-product or pilot lines—accelerating delivery to meet today’s aggressive new product introduction (NPI) cycles.

For complex material handling, joining, or inspection tasks, the automation platform provides ergonomic access and high visibility for operators.

IP67-rated field devices and modular tooling simplify troubleshooting and support a wide range of quality-critical processes.

In development-stage projects, where product specifications are still evolving, the automation platform enables early automation by allowing equipment design and process development to begin in parallel.

Automaton Platform Applications

This modular platform is engineered to support a wide range of manufacturing and development scenarios—especially where speed to market, flexibility, and risk mitigation are critical. Its modular design, standardized asset catalog, and compatibility with ATS technologies make it ideal for both pre-automation and production environments.

Pre-Automation & Development Enablement

Manufacturers often face uncertainty in product design, process definition, or regulatory approval. This adaptable platform enables pre-automation by allowing early process validation and proof-of-principle (POP) testing on standardized demo units available at ATS facilities. This parallel development capability helps de-risk projects and allows teams to refine high-risk processes before committing to full CapEx investments.

Scale-Up Prototyping

Transitioning from R&D to pilot production requires flexible systems that can evolve with the product. This modular platform supports scale-up prototyping with configurable layouts and pre-designed tooling modules that accelerate time-to-market and allow engineering teams to iterate freely.

Low to Medium Volume Production

For operations that don’t justify high-speed automation, the platforms’ plug-and-play integration makes it easy to select the correct chassis for the system’s required cycle times.

The compact footprint, high visibility access, and minimal dismantling requirements enable fast startup and efficient changeovers.

Consumer & Industrial Products

The automation platform is well-suited for assembling and testing consumer and industrial products such as small motors, electronics, and household devices. Its compatibility with Siemens and Rockwell controls platforms ensures seamless integration across diverse manufacturing environments.
