Custom Machines
Custom automated machinery developed around your parts, process, production sequence and acceptance requirements.
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION • CUSTOM EQUIPMENT • CONTROL SYSTEMS
Custom Machines. Controls. Automation.
AET designs, builds, integrates and supports industrial automation systems for manufacturers and machine builders.
From a production requirement to a coordinated system.
AET Integration connects machine design, industrial control panels, PLC and HMI software, equipment integration and commissioning. Define a complete equipment project or a clear engineering work package around the machine you already have.
What are you building or improving?
Industrial Automation
Coordinate PLC controls, sensors, drives, operator interfaces and production equipment into one system.
Control Panel Design & Build
Control panel design, component selection, assembly, wiring, testing and electrical documentation.
Controls Engineering
Turn operating requirements into machine sequences, diagnostics, electrical interfaces and maintainable software.
Machine Support
Troubleshoot faults, modernize controls, recover documentation and prepare equipment for its next stage.
Engineering Software
Explore VoltCAD, AET’s engineering automation platform in development for electrical design workflows.
Automation starts with the application.
Assembly Automation
Assembly sequences, part handling, fastening and process verification.
Conveyors & Material Handling
Conveyor controls, transfers, buffering and coordinated material movement.
Fluid Filling & Dispensing
Filling and dispensing sequences, pumps, valves, recipes and process feedback.
Engineering for the production environment.
Automotive & Mobility
Assembly, filling, handling, testing and production traceability.
Appliance Manufacturing
Production equipment, filling processes, conveying and end-of-line interfaces.
Industrial Machinery & OEMs
Electrical design, control panels, programming and commissioning for machine builders.
Precision Manufacturing
Machine tending, process instrumentation, inspection and controlled material handling.
Design. Build. Program. Integrate. Commission. Support.
Define the machine
Start with parts, process requirements, utilities, interfaces, production rate and acceptance criteria. Establish who owns each mechanical, electrical, controls and installation responsibility.
Develop the equipment
Coordinate the machine architecture, electrical drawings, panel build and PLC/HMI software. Review interfaces before installation so a collection of devices becomes an organized production system.
Verify the sequence
Use planned I/O checks, functional tests and a factory acceptance test to compare the equipment with the agreed requirements. Record exceptions and establish a clear handover.
Support the lifecycle
Keep drawings, software backups and configuration records aligned with the machine. Plan troubleshooting, changes and modernization around production constraints.
Engineering experience behind the approach.
Overhead Conveyor Controls Experience
Prior engineering experience: electrical design, programming and commissioning for an overhead conveyor system.
Fluid Filling Engineering Experience
Prior engineering experience: fluid filling controls and coordinated equipment delivery.
Technologies & Platforms
Platform selection shaped by the installed equipment, maintenance needs and project requirements.
VoltCAD — engineering technology developed by AET.
VoltCAD
ENGINEERING AUTOMATION PLATFORM
In development
A separate software direction. A practical engineering foundation.
VoltCAD is AET’s electrical CAD and engineering automation initiative. Its direction includes organized design information, reuse and assistance with electrical engineering workflows. Planned automation and AI features are development goals, not released functionality.
Industrial automation for Ohio and the Midwest.
AET works with manufacturing teams and OEM machine builders on new equipment, control systems and existing-machine improvements. Project discussions for Dayton, Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio start with the equipment, site requirements and work scope. On-site work and travel are agreed during planning.
