Integration Services for Custom Automation Workcells

Seamless robotics that power your production.

Concept Systems designs and integrates industrial robotic workcells that automate complex manufacturing tasks for plant engineers and operations leaders in aerospace, food & beverage, and warehousing. As a certified FANUC and Rockwell integrator, we deliver turnkey solutions that enhance precision, speed, and safety while addressing labor shortages and scaling demands.

How Our Industrial Robotics Integration Builds Efficient Workcells

We collaborate from concept through commissioning to create custom automation workcells, starting with your operational needs and using tools like FANUC RoboGuide for simulation to validate designs before build. Our process incorporates FANUC robotic arms with Rockwell controls for reliable, high-performance systems tailored to your facility.

In competitive manufacturing environments, these integrated workcells reduce cycle times, minimize errors, and enable 24/7 operations—transforming manual processes into automated ones without compromising on flexibility or compliance.

        Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Robotic System Integration

        What makes a good candidate for a robotic workcell?

        Repetitive, high-volume tasks like palletizing or assembly where precision and speed outweigh initial costs—ideal for labor-constrained operations.

        How long does a typical industrial robot integration take?

        From design to commissioning, projects range from 4–9 months, depending on complexity, with off-site fabrication minimizing on-site time.

        Do you integrate only FANUC robots?

        As a certified FANUC integrator, that’s our core strength, but we work with compatible systems like ABB or Universal Robots for hybrid needs.

        Can you retrofit robotics into existing production lines?

        Yes—our modular designs allow brownfield integrations with minimal downtime, often using FANUC RoboGuide to test compatibility upfront.

        What safety features are standard in your workcells?

        All include GuardLogix safety-rated PLCs, light curtains, and collision detection for SIL 3 compliance.

        Is there an Automation Roadmap or proof-of-concept option?

        Absolutely – We offer Automation Roadmaps that help customers evaluate feasibility and validate ROI before committing to full implementation. This process defines the technical approach, scope, and engineering path forward so teams can make confident investment decisions while reducing project risk and improving execution.
