What We Do: Facility-Wide Industrial Automation Services

Today’s manufacturing and processing environments demand flexibility, uptime, and traceability. Our automation systems are engineered to adapt with you—not hold you back. From intelligent robotics to precise fixed automation equipment, we create modular, scalable systems built for long-term performance.

We specialize in:

• Full-line automation design and integration
• System-wide controls: PLC, HMI, sensors, and vision
• Robotic and non-robotic automation cells
• Infeed and outfeed coordination with conveying systems
• Custom mechanical and structural components
• Control panel design and build

Everything is engineered in-house by IBT’s experienced team. We supply all components and coordinate with trusted installers to ensure successful implementation.

Fixed Industrial Automation Solutions

Fixed automation delivers high-speed, repeatable performance for processes that don’t change often. It’s ideal for packaging lines, warehousing, and high-volume production where consistency, reliability, and throughput are key.

📦 Fixed Automation Equipment We Design & Supply:

• Pallet Dispensers
  Automatically stage and feed pallets into packaging lines
• Slip Sheet Dispensers
  Integrate with robotic or automated palletizing systems
• Automatic Stretch Wrappers
  Fully integrated end-of-line wrapping, often paired with palletizers
• Banding & Strapping Machines
  Secure loads quickly and consistently
• Case Erectors, Case Packers, and Case Sealers
  Eliminate manual boxing labor with reliable, hands-free solutions
• Pick-and-Place Systems
  Rapidly move products into containers or onto conveyors
• Wire Bending, Welding & Small-Format Automation
  Custom-fabricated solutions for niche manufacturing tasks
• Custom Conveying and Material Transfer
  Purpose-built conveyors designed for specific packaging or product types
• Bulk Packaging Systems
  Bag filling, sealing, weighing, labeling, and palletizing for dry bulk materials

Automation System Controls & Integration Capabilities

Our automation systems are engineered for real-world control and coordination. We design and build custom control panels in-house, including:

• PLC programming
• HMI development
• Vision systems (barcode reading, quality inspection, etc.)
• Panel layout and UL-rated fabrication
• Pneumatic controls
• Data tracking and SCADA integration

Everything is designed to talk together—robotics, conveyors, sensors, and fixed automation—working in unison as one smart production line.

Engineered Components and Custom Add-Ons

Every system has unique requirements—and IBT has the depth to supply more than just off-the-shelf components. We design and source:

• Tanks and hoppers
• Knife gates and butterfly valves
• Custom diverters, slide gates, and chutes
• Structural platforms and machine bases
• Bin vents, filter receivers, and blowers
• Specialized feeders and product handling solutions

These elements are often critical to a cohesive automation cell, especially in industries like food processing, grain, or bulk material handling (Explore Grain & Bulk Systems →).
