Sectors We Work With
At ACG Limited, we’ve designed, manufactured, and installed automated solutions for virtually every industry – from high-end car manufacturers to specialised medical equipment providers. We have the expertise to develop manufacturing and assembly equipment for practically any application, no matter how large or complex. Our advanced technology and rigorous quality checks mean we provide systems that meet the highest standards of quality and reliability, each and every time.
Below, we delve deeper into the industries we often partner with, outlining the various automation systems we can create to amplify your facility’s production rates, safety measures, and overall profitability.
Aerospace
Our automated solutions offer a streamlined approach to aircraft component production, mitigating human error and safety concerns while improving quality control, cost-effectiveness, and adherence to best practices. Here are some of the automated aerospace solutions we can create:
- Robotic assembly systems equipped with specialised end-effectors and computer vision systems, which can handle tasks like assembling aircraft components, placing rivets, and performing quality inspections.
- Additive manufacturing systems for creating complex and lightweight components, reducing material waste and lead times.
- High-precision automated inspection systems with technologies like laser scanning and X-ray to check for defects in aerospace components.
Medical
Our automated processes allow for the production of medical equipment that not only adheres to rigorous safety and hygiene standards, but also shortens lead times. Here are some of the systems we’re able to provide for your medical manufacturing facility:
- Robotic arms for assembling intricate medical devices, such as surgical instruments and prosthetics, with high precision and consistency.
- Automated packaging and labelling systems for pharmaceutical products (such as contact lenses), which guarantee full compliance with regulatory standards.
- Automated systems for manufacturing diagnostic test kits, including the dispensing of reagents, sealing of containers, and labelling.
- Automated systems for manufacturing custom implants, such as dental crowns and orthopaedic implants, tailored to individual patients.
Automotive
Manufacturing new cars, components, and technologies involves high costs and long timescales due to the rigorous safety standards that automobiles need to meet. Our automated systems will help expedite the process, making production faster and safety checks even more thorough. Here are some of the systems we can provide:
- Automated welding systems for car body parts, provide neat and precise welds every time.
- Automated systems that apply paint to vehicles with high precision, minimising overspray and variations in paint thickness.
- Assembly lines for automobiles, including engine assembly, interior installation, and tire mounting.
- Automated vision systems that inspect vehicles for defects during and after production, guaranteeing consistent quality.
Food Production and Packaging
Our systems can automate countless tasks that once required manual labour, from icing cupcakes to packaging individual food items. Not only does this speed up production times and boost profits, but it also allows for higher safety and hygiene standards. Some of the systems we can produce include:
- Automated systems that fill, seal, label, and package containers at high speeds, maintaining accuracy and minimising product waste.
- Batch mixing and processing systems that mix ingredients for various food items, keeping measurements accurate and quality consistent.
- Automated systems that can portion and cut raw or cooked food items to specific sizes for packaging.
- Automation systems for sanitising packaging materials and production equipment to meet hygiene standards.
General Manufacturing
From small drain segments to premium audio equipment, our automated solutions allow for the fast and safe production of almost any product or component on the market. Here are some of the general manufacturing systems we’re able to create:
- Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines that automate precision machining processes, creating complex parts with minimal human intervention.
- Automated conveyor belts that transport materials and products within your facility, optimising material flow and reducing manual handling.
- Robots equipped with grippers and sensors that move raw materials and finished products between different stages of production.
- Automated systems for packaging products, applying labels, and sorting them for shipping.
