Companies That Improved Their Production with Custom-Built Solutions

Discover some of the projects we’ve developed for clients seeking to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and scale their production capacity through smart industrial automation.

EMERSON

Need:

Automate a manual production line to reduce manpower, improve efficiency, and take the first step toward a semi-automated system within their industrial regulator and valve manufacturing plant.

Solution:

IEC Automation was selected after a competitive evaluation among multiple integrators in Monterrey, recognized for its technical guidance, innovative proposals, and expertise in 3D design. The team developed a turnkey semi-automated line, fully engineered from scratch with a focus on ergonomics, efficiency, and process control. The project included mechanical design, electrical integration, software development, and on-site operator training.

Results:

First semi-automated line

successfully operating at the plant.

Corporate recognition

for its technical impact.

Reduced manpower

in repetitive operations.

Validated process

under Emerson’s global standards.

Delivered on budget

and within scope.

Strengthened relationship

as a strategic supplier for innovation and continuous technical support.

MORRISON

Need:

Rehabilitate a Roll Former machine with several years of continuous operation that was showing intermittent failures, poor cutting precision, and risk of unplanned downtime.

Solution:

IEC Automation executed a comprehensive modernization project, including PLC migration, new sensing system installation, control panel upgrade, and safety improvements.
Key system components were preserved to reduce costs without compromising performance.

Results:

Extended service life

of the machine by at least five additional years.

Cutting precision

restored and stabilized.

80% reduction

in unplanned downtime.

Implementation completed

without stopping the main production line.

PANEL REY

Need:

Rendering faced a major challenge — its production equipment was running on obsolete software, preventing fault detection and reducing the efficiency of its eight production lines. Utilization rates hovered around 40–45%, leading to frequent downtime and material waste.

Solution:

IEC Automation performed a full re-engineering and overhaul of key systems, including profile rollers, ceiling panel cutters, and other critical equipment.

Our intervention included:

Electrical and automation engineering
Installation and commissioning
Reverse engineering of Canadian machinery to develop an optimized in-house production line
