Custom Automation Systems and Integration
Automate the heavy, odd-shaped or delicate product no catalog machine will touch.
Standard automation exists for standard products. When yours is heavy, odd-shaped, delicate or simply unlike anything a catalog anticipated, the system has to be engineered — proven components where they fit, custom-built equipment where they don’t, and controls that make the whole thing run as one line. Conveyability has designed that kind of system across most industries since 1980.
Purpose-built cells and equipment for processes no catalog covers.
Proven standard components wherever they fit — custom only where it pays.
Engineering, fabrication, controls and installation from one team.
Combined team member material handling experience.
Quantity one is a normal order — designed, built and tested.
Engineering, fabrication, controls and installation together.

What Makes a Project “Custom”
Four ways a process falls off the catalog page — each one solvable.
The product is the exception
Size, weight, orientation or surfaces that can’t be touched. The handling gets designed from the load backward, not the conveyor forward.
The process is one of a kind
A sequence of operations nobody packaged into a machine. Fixtures, transfers and timing get engineered around how the work actually happens.
The space fights back
Columns, existing machines and ceilings that veto every standard footprint. Routing, elevation and custom frames make the system fit the building.
The machines don’t talk
Equipment from different makers and decades that has to act as one line. Integration — mechanical and controls — is the product.
The engineering is in the arrangement.
Standard Components. Custom System.
Full-custom everything is slow and expensive; fully standard rarely fits a real process. The working answer uses proven components — conveyor, drives, robots, sensors — arranged and interfaced in ways their catalogs never imagined, with custom fabrication reserved for the pieces that genuinely don’t exist.
What We Integrate Into a Custom System
The building blocks — combined, interfaced and controlled as one line.
Conveyor and transfer systems
Robots
Vision systems and scanners
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
Work-fixture pallet systems
Lift and rotate units
Weighing and inspection
RFID and tracking
Packaging equipment
Custom fixtures and carriers
PLCs, HMIs and controls
Custom fabricated equipment
Turn-key includes proving it runs.
Tested in Our Shop Before It Ships to Yours.
Custom systems carry custom risk — unless they run before they ship. Conveyability sets up and tests custom fabricated units and systems in-house, so installation at your plant is assembly and commissioning, not invention. It’s how one-of-a-kind equipment ends up being the dependable kind.
Can’t Quite “Convey” the Process? Show Us.
Send us what you know. We will help with the rest.
Text us a photo or a short video of the product and the step you want automated. Odd is normal here — we’ll start from what we see.
“Your men are very good and did a lot of tweaking we didn’t know we needed.”
“Your men are very good and did a lot of tweaking we didn’t know we needed. When things slow down here later this spring let’s try to connect. We may re-align workflow and it would be good to see what you think. I appreciate you guys jumping for us with our erratic planning and communicating.”

Conveyability Builds the Machine Nobody Sells You
“Nobody makes that” is where our projects usually start.
One team of top-tier problem solvers.
Start with what failed and what production is experiencing — not just the replacement part.
Speed, responsiveness and lead-time flexibility.
Service has to fit the urgency, shutdown window and reality of the operating plant.
Value engineering inside the real budget.
Repair what is worth repairing, modify what is causing the problem and upgrade only where the system has truly outgrown the old answer.
Custom plans built around the plant you have.
Legacy equipment, multiple manufacturers and incomplete drawings are normal inputs.
No passing the buck when the interfaces get messy.
Mechanical, controls, fabrication, installation and future support stay connected through one team.
Need to Get In Touch Now? Give Us a Call.
No hard sell, just experts that know their stuff.
Tell us what is failing, what the plant has already tried and how the issue affects production. We’ll help you figure out the most useful next step.
Custom Automation FAQs
Feasibility, cost, risk and where to begin.
How do we know if our process can be automated?
Describe it and show us. Most processes can be automated in part; the honest engineering question is which steps pay — and the consultation answers that before you spend.
Is custom automation always expensive?
Less often than assumed. Most systems are standard components with engineered interfaces and a few custom pieces — sometimes a small amount of equipment solves the whole application.
How do you keep a one-of-a-kind system from being a gamble?
By building and testing it in our shop before it ships, and by using field-proven components wherever they fit. The novelty stays in the arrangement, not in unproven hardware.
Can you integrate machines we already own?
Yes. Existing equipment — including machines from manufacturers who are long gone — gets evaluated and worked into the system wherever it can carry the job.
Who supports it afterward?
We do. The team that engineered and built the system handles parts, service and changes — there’s no manufacturer to be caught between.
What does a first conversation need from us?
A description of the product and the step you want automated, plus photos or video if you have them. Rates and dimensions help, but the conversation can start without them.
