Automation is ingrained in our day-to-day production. We use robots across our manufacturing processes to increase efficiency and reduce variability. Our dedication to automated machining allows us to run jobs continuously—overnight if needed— without operator intervention. Because we focus on building the proper infrastructure to promote automation, we’re able to automate more and more every day — constantly improving our processes, consistency, and quality.
What is automated manufacturing?
Automated manufacturing uses robotics, integrated machining systems, and process controls to perform production operations with minimal manual intervention. At Staub, automation enables consistent, repeatable manufacturing while supporting high-precision, high-volume production requirements.
How does automation improve manufacturing consistency?
Automation standardizes machining, handling, and inspection processes to reduce human variability. Staub’s automated systems allow real-time process control and unattended production, helping maintain dimensional accuracy and repeatable quality across long production runs.
What is lights-out manufacturing?
Lights-out manufacturing refers to production systems capable of operating unattended outside normal working hours. Staub leverages automated machining cells and robotics to continue production overnight or between shifts, maximizing equipment utilization and throughput.
When is automated manufacturing the right solution?
Automated manufacturing is ideal for recurring production programs, blanket orders, and high-volume component manufacturing where consistency, lead-time reliability, and cost control are critical to long-term supply chain performance.
How does automated manufacturing integrate with Staub’s full manufacturing solutions?
Automation connects CNC machining, inspection, finishing, assembly, and inventory management into a unified production workflow. This integrated approach allows Staub to function as a long-term contract manufacturing partner rather than a standalone machine shop.
