System Integration

At AG Controls, we specialise in building integrated systems that improve efficiency, reduce operator risk and provide reliable data visibility.

What is system integration?

System integration is the process of connecting diverse machines, robots, HMIs, vision systems and networks into one seamless production environment.

Benefits of system integration

We deliver bespoke integration projects that transform operations. In a recent project operators previously handled products at 1,200°C by hand. Our integration of robots and automated handling now allows safe transfer between machines, while operators only load bins and collect finished items from conveyors. The result is safer working conditions, faster cycle times and higher efficiency.

Our approach to system integrations

Every system integration project starts with identifying communication pathways between devices and systems. We work with OEMs to determine available protocols and, where required, implement PLC layers to monitor and control at system level. This ensures full interoperability and traceable data across all stations.

Complex challenges and success stories

Many clients face similar pain points before integration: disconnected machines, no data capture, operator errors and inefficient cycle times.

Our system integration work resolves these by creating connected systems that streamline processes and reduce reliance on manual intervention. In some cases, we redevelop processes from scratch; in others, careful tweaks to existing setups are sufficient to deliver major improvements.

Industries we support

We collaborate with manufacturers, OEMs and automation partners to deliver integrated solutions that align with customer standards, budgets and objectives. Whether advising on the best-fit robot for a new cell or optimising existing assets, our role is to deliver systems that are both technically robust and operationally effective.
