Most automation systems are designed for high-volume, repeatable work. But when your production mix changes weekly—or daily—you can’t afford rigid machines that require hours of reprogramming or retooling.
HMLV production environments require:
- Rapid transitions between product builds
- Tight integration of software and hardware workflows
- Automation that scales with complexity, not just with volume
This is where Amtech’s approach shines.
Amtech’s Proprietary Automation Technologies
1. Modular Robotics Built In-House
Instead of relying on expensive off-the-shelf robotics, Amtech develops its own automation hardware using low-cost components and modular designs. These systems are engineered to be:
- Easily configurable for different board sizes, part placements, or tasks
- Replicable across product lines with minimal investment
- Purpose-built for complex but small-batch assembly challenges
From PCB handling systems to mechanical assembly aids, these custom-built robotics ensure automation is accessible even at lower volumes—without compromising performance.
2. Custom Application Development
We don’t just build hardware—we write the software too.
Our proprietary applications:
- Power internal tools for quoting, traceability, and quality
- Integrate with our ERP and MES to streamline decision-making
- Enable dynamic reallocation of workstations based on demand
By building the software ourselves, we create automation that thinks like our process—and supports every nuance of HMLV manufacturing.
3. Dynamic Floor Layouts + Smart Workflow Control
Our production floors are designed for flexibility. Workstations and machines can be quickly repositioned based on the product mix. Integrated software tools orchestrate workflows across stations, dynamically balancing labor and automation to maximize efficiency.
What It Means for Our Customers
Our unique automation model delivers:
- Faster time to production – automation that adapts to your NPI schedule
- Better quality and consistency – thanks to closed-loop process controls
- Lower cost of automation – without sacrificing capability
- Scalability – launch at low volume, scale without starting over
Customers across medical, energy, and industrial controls industries count on us not just for production, but for engineering-driven automation that works with complexity—not against it.
