What Manufacturing Automation Systems does

Manufacturing Automation Systems LLC (MAS) is a privately held industrial automation company founded in 2003 by Matta Rizkallah and his wife Laura and headquartered in Painted Post, New York, where it operates a 25,000 square-foot in-house production facility. The company develops and sells the QC Plus™ family of automated 3D laser scanning metrology systems, combining laser-triangulation 3D scanners with proprietary software for dimensional measurement, defect inspection, and adaptive robotic control. Targeted at discrete manufacturers, MAS's primary verticals are aerospace and defense (turbine blades, blisks, landing gear, aero structures), automotive (powertrain, body structures, EV components), and electric-vehicle manufacturing (battery assemblies, motors, power electronics, fuel cells); secondary verticals include medical and pharmaceutical devices, electronics, and general manufacturing (castings, molds, plastics, CNC, additive). Although explicit headcount is not disclosed, the company lists itself in the 11–50 employee band.

The product portfolio is built around four pre-configured hardware bundles — CobotQC (six-axis FANUC CRX collaborative robot on a rolling Smart Base), LineQC (single-axis linear scanner for conveyor integration), GaugeQC (three-axis granite-based station with resolution as fine as 2.5 μm), and HandheldQC (manual or mounted scanner upgradeable to robotic automation) — all of which run on MAS's proprietary QC Plus™ Core software that unifies motion control, data capture, analysis, GD&T measurement, and reporting under a recipe-based automation framework. Optional software packages extend the platform: Scan-to-Path™ enables adaptive robot pathing using real-time 3D scan data to drive corrective trimming, assembly, dispensing, and finishing operations; Push-to-Teach™ provides no-code collaborative teaching via joystick-guided path programming on FANUC CRX cobots. The architecture emphasizes component-based configurability so customers can assemble tailored systems without custom engineering, and pre-engineered bundles are positioned for rapid deployment.

MAS operates a direct enterprise sales motion with customers entering through "discovery meeting" requests on its website, followed by proposal-driven customization and quote-based pricing with no publicly disclosed price points or tiers. A separate Integration Partner Program recruits certified channel partners to assist with deployment, extending reach beyond direct field sales. Revenue mechanics span hardware sales of bundled systems, software licensing of QC Plus™ and Scan-to-Path™, and professional services for custom integration. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent organization, no subsidiaries, and no public M&A activity; ownership remains founder-led. Geographic market presence is confirmed for North America (USA), while the website characterizes distribution as "global" without evidence of localized international offices.

Core offering

Manufacturing Automation Systems (MAS) designs, manufactures, and sells configurable automated 3D laser scanning and metrology systems under the QC Plus™ family. The portfolio includes pre-engineered hardware bundles (CobotQC, LineQC, GaugeQC, HandheldQC) integrating collaborative or industrial robots, scanners, and motion stages with proprietary QC Plus™ Core, Scan-to-Path™, and Push-to-Teach™ software for inline measurement, defect inspection, and adaptive robotic pathing in industrial manufacturing environments.

Product overview

Manufacturing Automation Systems offers the QC Plus™ family of configurable automated 3D laser scanning and metrology systems designed for intelligent manufacturing. The product portfolio includes three pre-configured bundles: CobotQC Bundle (six-axis collaborative robot with FANUC CRX), LineQC Bundle (single-axis linear scanning), GaugeQC Bundle (three-axis station), and HandheldQC Bundle (manual/mounted scanning). All systems are powered by QC Plus™ Core software for measurement control and can optionally include Scan-to-Path™ software for adaptive robot pathing. Components can be combined in various configurations to create custom solutions tailored to specific manufacturing requirements.
