CUSTOM AUTOMATION CAPABILITIES BUILT AROUND YOUR PRODUCTION FLOOR
A Trusted Partner In Automated Assembly
When you choose GILMAN, you get a dedicated team who see every project through from concept to commissioned line. With over 30 years of experience designing and installing custom automation systems — built on decades of high-volume automotive assembly work, including a long-standing partnership with Ford Motor Company — our engineers collaborate closely with your team to make sure every system is tailored to your process. That same discipline now carries into industrial and consumer manufacturing, so whatever you build, the systems we design are engineered around your actual process.

-
By automating repetitive and multi-step operations, equipment can run at higher speeds and for longer stretches with fewer interruptions. That extra capacity lets manufacturers keep up with rising demand and compress lead times, often without adding floor space or headcount.
-
Shifting repetitive work off manual labor cuts scrap, reduces changeover delays, and limits the downtime that comes with human error. Over time, those gains add up to a real reduction in what it costs to each part.
-
An automated process builds every part to the same specification, run after run. This kind of consistency cuts down on customer complaints, makes compliance easier to document, and eliminates the variation that comes from manual handling.
-
Vision systems, sensors, and in-line data collection catch problems as they happen instead of after the fact. Catching issues earlier in the process means fewer rejected parts, less rework, and a track record customers can count on.
-
Newer automation platforms are built to be reconfigured, not replaced — so manufacturers can bring on new products or adjust a line quickly instead of absorbing weeks of downtime. Which means staying ahead of shifting customer requirements and industry standards.
THE VALUE OF AUTOMATING YOUR PRODUCTION LINE
Every production floor has its own challenges — a part geometry nobody else deals with, a cycle time that's non-negotiable, a changeover your team has already optimized by hand. GILMAN starts each project by understanding that specific situation, rather than fitting it into a standard package. The result is a customized system designed around how your line actually runs, not a generic solution.
This approach comes from decades in high-volume automotive assembly, where tolerances are tight and downtime is expensive — discipline we've since carried into industrial and consumer manufacturing. With over 30 years of experience and 150+ custom systems installed, GILMAN brings a level of hands-on expertise you don't find at every automation supplier. These systems are built to be robust, able to hold up under real production volume, adapt as your requirements shift, and keep running long after final acceptance at your facility.
GILMAN’s dedicated team of mechanical and controls engineers stays on your project from the first concept sketch through startup on your floor, working alongside your team. Each client works with a dedicated project manager throughout our five-stage process:
Concept Development
Planning & Design
Build
Acceptance
Service & Support
That continuity is what makes it a real partnership — our goal on every project is a system your team trusts, running on your floor exactly the way you need it to.
