Machinery Solutions

Make more, scrap less, and keep lines running—even when the power doesn’t. Allied Automation designs, retrofits, and integrates machinery automation that lifts OEE, improves safety, and reduces unit cost across assembly, packaging, and process lines.

Why Automate Now?

South African manufacturers face energy volatility, skills shortages, and rising input costs. Automation stabilises throughput, reduces dependency on scarce skills, and pays back fast with safer, data-driven lines that survive load-shedding and spikes.

Margin Pressure

Automation protects unit economics without panic hiring.

Load-shedding Reality

Buffered power, safe stop states, and stateful restart logic keep uptime sane.

Skills Gap

Let robots do repetition; your people do problem-solving.

Quality and Compliance

Traceability, vision checks, and digital records simplify audits and recalls.

Safety First

Category-rated interlocks, light curtains, and LOTO procedures built into SOPs.

Outcomes You Can Bank On

Throughput

+20–50% via cycle-time reduction and balanced cells

OEE

+5–15 points (availability + performance + quality)

Scrap & Rework

−15–40% with inline vision and poka-yoke

 

Energy use per unit

−8–20% through smart drives and demand smoothing

What Works

The Stack (Modular—Adopt What You Need)

Industrial Robotics & Cobots

6-axis, SCARA, and delta robots for pick-place, machine tending, assembly, palletising. Cobots for human-safe, flexible cells.

Conveying, Feeding & End-of-Line

Roller/belt, bowl feeders, AGV/AMR hand-offs, case packers, palletisers, stretch-wrappers. Built for tight footprints and mezzanines.

PLC, HMI & SCADA

Rock-solid controls with diagnostics, recipe management, and safe-motion. SCADA dashboards for live KPIs and alarm management.

Machine Vision & Quality

1D/2D code read, presence/absence, dimensional checks, surface inspection, OCR. Reject lanes and rework loops to cut escapes.

MES, Traceability & IIoT

Serial/batch genealogy, e-travellers, electronic work instructions, and data historians. OPC UA/MQTT to your ERP for planning and costing.

Predictive Maintenance & Energy

Vibration, temperature, and current sensors feed anomaly models. Staggered starts, VFDs, and power buffers smooth demand peaks.
