ForgeCell Automation is a turnkey systems integrator for production lines that cannot afford to stop. We design, build, program and commission PLC-driven cells, robotic workstations, inline vision and autonomous mobile robots — one accountable engineering team from FAT to full production.
Engineering portfolio
Capability matrix — 01 / 06
Control cabinets and software built around modern PLC platforms and servo drives. Structured code, versioned programs and network architectures that plant engineers can actually maintain.
Six-axis and collaborative arms integrated into guarded cells: palletising, machine tending, welding, dispensing and assembly. End-of-arm tooling designed for your part, not off a shelf.
Inline camera systems for presence checks, gauging, code reading and surface inspection. Lighting, lensing and reject handling engineered together so false rejects stay rare and real defects never pass.
Autonomous mobile robots that move WIP and material between stations without fixed tracks. Fleet coordination, charging strategy and traffic rules tied into your MES and line takt.
A living model of your line: layout, cycles and throughput simulated before steel is cut, then kept in sync with the real asset for what-if studies, training and remote diagnostics.
Safety-rated PLCs, light curtains, interlocks and zone control engineered to Machinery Directive principles — so operators walk up to the cell, not around it.
System integration process
Delivery model — 05 phases
We walk your line, map the current process, and quantify what automation should change — throughput, labour, quality, safety.
Week 01 — On siteConcept, layout, cycle simulation and risk assessment. You approve the digital twin before anything is ordered.
Weeks 02–06 — Design freezePanel shop, machining, robot programming and vision tuning. Progress reviews every sprint, not at the end.
Weeks 06–14 — WorkshopFactory acceptance with your team at our facility, then installation, safety validation and site acceptance on your floor.
FAT & SAT — Your sign-offOperator training, as-built documentation, spares list and a support contract sized to your shift pattern.
Launch + supportWhere we integrate
Sector solutions — 04
Assembly automation, welding cells and traceability for tier suppliers and OEM programs.
High-speed handling, inspection and clean assembly for boards, modules and devices.
Washdown-rated handling, portioning and packing with hygiene validation baked in.
AMR fleets, sortation and palletising that flex with seasonal volume, not against it.
What automation pays back
Every automation project is justified on its own numbers. Before we quote, we model your current state and the target state — then we only build what the business case supports.
ROI figures are project-specific and validated against your baseline during the audit phase. We do not publish generic savings percentages — yours will be calculated, not assumed.
Recipe-driven setups and automatic tool change cut the time between product runs — capacity appears without new buildings.
Vision and servo precision remove the drift that creates scrap and rework — quality becomes a controlled variable.
Robots do not have off days. Consistent cycles mean predictable takt, stable WIP and honest delivery dates.
OEE-style reporting from the line gives operations a real-time view of where the day actually goes.
Safety & certification
Every cell ships with a complete technical file: risk assessment, circuit diagrams, component certificates and the declaration path your team needs for CE marking.
Machines designed and documented to Machinery Directive requirements, with the declaration process supported end to end.
Engineering and delivery workflows structured around ISO 9001 quality management principles, auditable at every phase.
Safety functions designed to ISO 13849 / IEC 61508 principles — safety PLCs, redundant channels and verified performance levels.
Light curtains, interlocks, perimeter guarding and lockout procedures engineered into the cell, not bolted on afterwards.
