Providing Automation for Your Metal Manufacturing Business
Metal manufacturing facilities are not only facing external pressures from supply shortages and trade wars, but internally many facilities are struggling with a lack of diagnostics and a retiring workforce that is becoming more and more difficult to replace. CBT understands the obstacles of the metal manufacturing industry and offers innovative solutions to improve your plant’s efficiency through automation, lighting, networking, and even safety protocols.
Fabricated Metal Manufacturing Solutions
If you have been tasked with improving productivity and safety, while reducing energy consumption and overall costs, CBT can provide you with real results that will increase your bottom line.
Our in-house team of engineers has decades of experience and will walk alongside you from strategic design all the way through implementation and training.
Optimizing Steel Production
CBT provides steel manufacturing solutions that are designed to lower costs and reduce overall energy consumption. Automation systems increase overall productivity which can provide higher throughput at a lower cost. The implementation of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES), can be used to reduce scrap, eliminate production variability, reduce downtime, and improve capacity planning by integrating production with scheduling.
Steel manufacturing is running at an all-time high, pushing capacity utilization across the board. Even the most complex fabrication shops can benefit from metal processing automation. Smart manufacturing can be used to increase throughput for a variety of applications including:
- Arc Welding
- Spot Welding
- Cutting
- Punching
- Machine Tending
CBT works collaboratively with your team to implement specific solutions that generate the perfect control solutions for your facility.
