Automation and Robotic Upgrades
Automation and robotic systems are now a standard part of many manufacturing and logistics operations.
They are used to improve output, increase consistency and reduce manual handling.
Introducing these systems into an existing facility often requires changes to the building, service infrastructure and production layout to ensure everything works safely and efficiently.
Ambrey Baker supports automation and robotic upgrades across food manufacturing, processing and industrial environments.
With almost 40 years of experience in complex live facilities, we understand the practical requirements involved in bringing new technology into existing operational spaces.
Our work typically includes preparing equipment bases, installing structural supports for robotic systems, coordinating power, data and compressed air services, and making alterations to floors, walls and surrounding infrastructure. We also adapt production layouts to accommodate robotic cells, automated packing lines, palletising systems and automated materials handling equipment.
Automation upgrades must be planned carefully so that new systems can be integrated without compromising safety, access or operational performance. We work closely with client engineering teams, automation suppliers and site management to coordinate installation requirements, service connections, guarding arrangements and maintenance access.
Where relevant, works are planned with regard to applicable machinery and workplace equipment safety requirements, including the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.
Many automation and robotic upgrades take place within live production environments where disruption must be kept to a minimum. Our teams programme works carefully, coordinate closely with all parties on site and plan each stage of the installation to support safe delivery while allowing ongoing operations to continue wherever possible.
Whether supporting a single robotic installation or a wider automation upgrade, Ambrey Baker provides practical construction support to help clients introduce new systems safely, efficiently and in a way that suits the operational demands of the facility.
