Consumer Goods Industry
Every company that produces a product does so using a unique manufacturing process that is designed to fit their business model and manufacturing needs. There comes a time when the manufacturing process will need to meet higher productivity, reliability, quality, availability, increased performance, and reduced operating costs and defects. Our experienced engineers have the expertise to work with you to design, build, and implement a customized, automated solution that fits your specific production process and budget.
Dial Table Assembly & Test Cell
The Project
Alliance won the AAV Assembly machine project because we could resolve the four manufacturing challenges; condense floor space, reduce labor, increase rate speed, and finally remove the bottle neck at the leak test station. The original process used 4 operators in 2 separate stations to produce two separate sized products at a rate of 350 parts per hour. Alliance was able to provide a single assembly cell that would accommodate both sized parts using different nests. One operator was able to operate the machine and pack-out the products all while producing 720 parts per hour. This increased rate was achieved by putting all key functions in one machine and having the parts on a dial table.

Extruded Deck Board Stacking System
The Project
Manually stacking extruded deck boards is a repetitive job that requires strenuous labor and operator’s full attention. This stacking system is designed to allow for multiple unload/load bays and uses a 2-axis gantry. By implementing two of these gantry systems, our customer was able to free up multiple material handlers which allowed them to add value to other areas of the business.
Automated Panel Saw
The Project
This system was installed to ensure accuracy in cuts and to make the operation safer for employees. By having the operator load the panels and scan each product label the system takes over the dangers part of the process and automatically adjusts the saws for a perfect cut every time. The operator does not have to do anything further until the system sends the completed product to the unload area where it is physically removed from the line.
Manufacturing Automation Opportunity Areas:
- Assembly
- Inspect
- Palletizing
- Packaging/Shipping
- Testing
- Material Handling
Companies need a partner they can trust to install robotics, vision, laser inspection, sensors, and part testing into their production lines. Whether it is a fully automated line or specific tasks, automated equipment is ideal for completing repetitive tasks like moving parts across stations, applying sealants, and joining materials.
