I-Cubed Industry Innovators

What I-Cubed Industry Innovators does

I-Cubed Industry Innovators Inc. is an employee-owned Canadian manufacturer of custom robotic automation systems and ultra-high-pressure waterjet cutting equipment, founded in 2008 and operating from multiple facilities in Stoney Creek, Ontario. The company's core technology portfolio centers on custom-designed robotic machinery integrated with waterjet cutting systems operating at 60,000 psi and 90,000 psi in both straight-water and abrasive configurations, including proprietary coil kits engineered for all major robot brands and built in an in-house CNC machine shop. Complementary offerings include robotic milling/machining/de-burring, high-definition plasma cutting via Hypertherm technology, 3D robotic cutting, offline programming services using Robotmaster and Mastercam software, waterjet technical service and intensifier rebuilds, preventative maintenance contracts, and spare parts distribution across AccuStream, Flow, H2O, KMT, OMAX, TECHNI, and WARDJet brands.

The business operates as a value-added systems integrator, generating revenue through hardware sales of custom robotic cells and waterjet equipment, professional services (engineering, installation, training, on-site technical support, intensifier rebuilds), and recurring parts and maintenance contracts. Go-to-market is conducted through direct enterprise field sales led by VP Casey DiBattista, with operations geographically concentrated in Ontario, Canada, and software distribution reaching global Robotmaster customers. Customers are industrial manufacturers requiring precision cutting, welding, milling, and material handling automation where commercial off-the-shelf equipment is insufficient, with proof-of-concept and test-cutting services offered to reduce buyer risk before full capital commitment. The company shares facilities with sister company Southport Thermal Components Inc., creating a vertically integrated group with combined waterjet engineering and component manufacturing capability.
