Total Automation is an automation integrator that gets involved with all aspects of parts manufacturing. The project scope may be a stand-alone auxiliary operation, or a turnkey system that moves production parts through every manufacturing phase from green parts to finished, packed, certified, and ready to ship. Total Automation's business is divided between new capital projects and existing processes that need improvement in ergonomics, throughput, or quality. Recent industry trends seem to address part quality certification using vision or sensor error-proofing. This direction shift is being driven by the end users demands for zero parts per million rejects. Total Automation works on material handling projects including conveyor systems (gravity and powered), machine tending (robotic, gantry, or pick-and-place), packaging and palletizing, hoppers and bowl feeders, and rotary positioners. They also address auxiliary operations including gauging stations, de-burring, custom machine build, assembly/test stations, vision inspection systems, part marking, robot end-of-arm tooling, and material dispensing. The services they provide include mechanical and controls engineering and robot and PLC training
