Industrial automation applications
Industrial & Factory Automation Systems
Sage engineers factory automation systems and industrial robotic automation for repetitive, difficult and physically demanding material-handling work—especially large, heavy or bulky products.
Start with the process, product and production requirement
Effective automation begins with application data: what must move, where it must go, how quickly it must move and what variation or process constraints the system must tolerate. Sage uses those requirements to select the right robot platform, handling method and system architecture.
Our scope can include gantry robots, FANUC articulated robots, end-of-arm tooling, conveyors, fixtures, pallet equipment, controls, safety systems, programming, installation and long-term service. The result is one coordinated production system with clear responsibility for performance.
Application data to define
- Product dimensions, weight and variation
- Required rate and shift schedule
- Pickup and destination conditions
- Available floor space and overhead clearance
- Quality, traceability and plant controls
- Safety, ergonomics and service access
What the system can include
End-of-line automation
Palletize, depalletize, package, sort and route finished goods for storage or shipment.
In-process automation
Move material between machines, fixtures and process steps with controlled sequencing and traceable handoffs.
Heavy material handling
Automate products that are too large, heavy, hot, flexible or awkward for practical manual handling.

Frequently asked questions
What information should I provide for an automation review?
Share product dimensions and weight, required rate, pickup and drop-off conditions, process sequence, available layout and any photos, drawings or sample products.
Does Sage provide the complete system?
Yes. Sage can engineer and deliver the robot, tooling, controls, conveyors, guarding, integration, programming, installation and service as one project.
