What Remtec Automation does

Remtec Automation is a privately held, Ohio-based turnkey robotic systems integrator founded in 1981 that designs, builds, installs, and services custom automation cells for mid-to-large manufacturers. The company is a long-standing FANUC Authorized System Integrator (since 1982/1996), Certified Service Provider (since 2009), Certified Vision Specialist (since 2015), and Cognex Certified System Integrator, and operates from a single Mason, Ohio facility that houses engineering, machining, welding, panel fabrication, assembly, testing, and system runoff.

The core technology stack combines FANUC 4-, 5-, and 6-axis robots and SCARA/delta pickers with FANUC iRVision and Cognex/Keyence machine vision, Allen-Bradley / Mitsubishi / Omron / Siemens PLCs, custom end-of-arm tooling, and recipe-driven touchscreen HMIs that allow operators to change SKUs without programming. The product portfolio spans four families: robotic packaging automation (picking, packing, palletizing), industrial automation (assembly, machine tending, casting, material supply/removal, dispense/sealing), machine vision (robot guidance, inspection, code reading/traceability, including AI-based deep learning inspection), and automated material handling (cobots, stacking/destacking). Served verticals include automotive, food and beverage, consumer goods, aerospace, building products, injection molding, machine tool, and dental/medical devices; named enterprise customers include Honda, Nissan, Dana, Stanley Electric, NSK, UTC/Carrier, Hartz Mountain, Koch Foods, and S.S. White Technologies.

The business model is project-based custom system sales (one-time engineering and integration revenue) supplemented by 24/7/365 certified FANUC service, preventive maintenance, spare parts, and operator training (recurring aftermarket revenue). Pricing is quoted per project; payback periods for packaging systems are cited at 6-36 months. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales led by automation engineers, concentrated in the Midwest and Eastern U.S., supported by digital content marketing, a YouTube demonstration channel, whitepapers, trade shows (Automate), and a quote-request workflow on the company website.

Core offering

Remtec Automation designs, builds, and installs turnkey robotic automation systems that integrate Fanuc robots with machine vision (Fanuc iRVision, Cognex, Keyence) and Allen-Bradley/Mitsubishi/Omron/Siemens PLC controls. Systems are deployed for packaging (picking, packing, palletizing), material handling, machine tending, assembly, casting, and machine vision inspection/traceability applications. Each project includes in-house engineering, manufacturing, assembly, testing, runoff, installation, and 24/7/365 service support, led by an experienced project manager.

Product overview

Remtec Automation is a turn-key robotic automation systems integrator founded in 1981, offering a portfolio of robotic products organized into four core categories: Robotic Packaging Automation (picking robots, packing robots, and robotic palletizing), Industrial Automation (robotic assembly, machine tending robots, casting automation, material supply, material removal, and dispense/sealing robots), Machine Vision (robot guidance, machine vision inspection, and code reading & traceability), and Automated Material Handling (collaborative robotics and robotic stacking & destacking). The company is a FANUC Authorized System Integrator and Cognex Certified System Integrator, providing end-to-end services from concept development and engineering through manufacturing, installation, and 24/7/365 robot support. Systems are built around Fanuc robots with Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, Omron, or Siemens PLC controls, integrated machine vision, and touchscreen HMIs enabling floor operators to manage production without robot programming expertise.
