Automation
We design and deploy custom robotic workcells, precise mechatronic mechanisms, and intelligent material handling systems. By bridging the gap between high-mix production and final logistics, we eliminate bottlenecks and build turnkey solutions that seamlessly scale your manufacturing throughput.
Our Process
1. System Architecture & Mechatronics – We analyze your workflow to design highly efficient mechanical solutions, developing scalable PLC architectures and bespoke mechatronics before any hardware is installed.
​
2. Custom Robotics & Workcells – We build intelligent robotic cells using advanced computer vision and custom End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) to reduce cycle times and eliminate manual repetition.
​
3. Conveyors & Material Handling – We design custom automated material handling systems that synchronize flawlessly with your robotics to streamline intralogistics and prevent staging bottlenecks.
​
4. Turnkey Deployment & Integration – We provide full on-site commissioning and testing, ensuring your newly automated lines integrate seamlessly with your downstream shipping and final fulfillment operations.
01
System Architecture & Mechatronics
Protoproof lays the groundwork for your automation to ensure your resulting system is structurally sound and tailored precisely to your throughput needs:
-
✅ Workflow Analysis – We evaluate your existing production lines to identify bottlenecks and areas for optimization before any hardware is installed.
-
✅ Feasibility Studies – Our engineering team conducts comprehensive assessments to validate the mechanical and operational viability of proposed solutions.
-
✅ Mechatronic Design – We engineer bespoke mechanical systems and mechanisms customized for your unique operational requirements.
-
✅ PLC Architecture – Our architectures are fully IEC 61131-3 compliant—utilizing Structured Text (ST) for complex algorithms and Sequential Function Charts (SFC) for state logic—while seamlessly integrating with high-level C/C++ runtimes and OEM-specific robotic languages to bridge the gap between IT and OT.
