ProMATIC Installs Custom Automation System in India

When a global electronics manufacturer in India sought a lower-risk, scalable automation option, they turned to ProMATIC Automation for a solution that combined flexibility, precision, and dependable performance. The customer needed to automate several production steps without committing to a large-scale, high-cost system — making a modular, cell-based approach the ideal choice.

A Global Project, Engineered for Success

In January 2017, ProMATIC completed its first full automation installation in India — a milestone that demonstrated not only the team’s engineering capability but also its attention to logistics, detail, and customer care. The system featured a mix of work cells, semi-automatic stations, and fully automated operations integrated around a Bosch Rexroth palletized conveyor platform. Core technologies included:

• A 3-axis Apollo Seiko soldering robot for precision soldering
• A Fanuc 5-axis robot for material handling and assembly
• A vacuum dispense system from Exact
• A Heller forced-convection reflow oven for solder curing

This combination provided the manufacturer with a balanced, flexible production line — one that could scale up automation gradually while maintaining throughput and quality.

Protecting Quality from Start to Finish

Transporting high-precision equipment overseas requires the same level of care as designing it. Project Manager John Fisher coordinated every step — from packaging and moisture control to container logistics — ensuring the system arrived safely and ready for installation. Each section of the machine was palletized, sealed in Mylar film, and packed with industrial desiccant to prevent rust and corrosion during shipment. The extra care paid off — the equipment arrived in India in perfect condition, and the installation team finished ahead of schedule.

On-Site Support and Smooth Startup

Once on site, ProMATIC’s startup engineers fine-tuned system performance and supported the customer’s local team through a week of hands-on training and knowledge transfer. The result was a seamless ramp-up and a confident handoff — proving that successful automation doesn’t end with shipment. ProMATIC’s commitment to follow-through and post-installation support ensures each project meets customer expectations long after commissioning.

A Milestone Installation, A Lasting Partnership

The India installation marked an important milestone for ProMATIC — expanding its global reach and reinforcing its reputation for precision engineering, reliable project management, and total customer care. For manufacturers seeking automation that balances performance, scalability, and low risk, this project shows what’s possible when every stage — from design to delivery — is handled with expertise and care.
