What we build.

Six systems we deploy regularly — each built on a standard controller stack (Beckhoff or Siemens), customised to the specific line, and wired into our telemetry as part of the package.

System · A-TF

Transfer & handling

Servo-driven transfer systems replacing mechanical cams. Faster changeover, safer maintenance, cleaner data.

Typical uplift
+25% OEE
Typical ROI
12–16 mo
System · A-QC

Inline vision QC

2D & 3D vision inspection, anomaly detection, automatic reject with full traceability back to cell and operator.

Typical uplift
-60% escapes
Typical ROI
10–18 mo
System · A-RB

Robot cells

Pick-and-place, pack-and-palletise, and bin-picking cells — ABB, Fanuc, Yaskawa. Cells arrive pre-commissioned.

Typical cycle
2–6 sec
Footprint
3×3 m
System · A-PM

Predictive maintenance

Retrofit telemetry on existing machines. Vibration, current, thermal — the three signals that predict 80% of faults.

Typical fault lead
72–168 h
ROI

MES & OEE dashboards

The telemetry stack behind the dashboards at the top of this page. Ships with every Atlas install; retrofittable.

Install time
3–6 weeks
Integrations

System · A-EN

Energy monitoring

Sub-metering, phase-level monitoring and kWh-per-good-unit metrics. A regulator-friendly dataset, on a pretty graph.

Typical saving
12–18%
ROI

“We'd been burned by automation vendors twice before Atlas. What sold us was the live dashboard — we could see their other customers' lines in real-time. The job we commissioned came in three weeks ahead of plan and has, to date, met the contract uptime every single month.”

03 / Book an engineer

A proper first call.

Your first call is with one of the engineers who would actually work on your system — not a salesperson reading from a script. Ninety minutes, no slides, your questions.

  • Pre-call questionnaire, fifteen minutes to complete
  • Site walk, in person or by video
  • Single-page written response within five working days
  • Fixed-price scoping study (£4,800, fully creditable)
  • Contract uptime from 99.5% on every installed system
  • UK-staffed engineers on rota, 24/7
