7th Street Solutions Becomes ABB Channel Partner

In the rapidly evolving landscape of North American manufacturing, the ability to automate is no longer a luxury—it is a baseline requirement for maintaining operational throughput and global competitiveness. At 7th Street Solutions, we have always prioritized technical innovation to solve complex production challenges.

Today, we are proud to announce a significant milestone in that mission: 7th Street Solutions is officially an ABB Channel Partner.

This relationship marks a strategic step forward for our Cadillac, MI facility and our clients. By combining ABB’s global leadership in robotics and discrete automation with our deep-rooted expertise in custom injection molding and systems integration, we are positioned to deliver turnkey automation solutions that are as precise as they are scalable.

The Technical Edge: Why 7th Street Chose ABB

When selecting a technology partner, we looked for a portfolio that matched the rigors of high-volume industrial environments. ABB is a global technology leader in electrification and automation, and their world-class robotics systems are the industry standard for reliability.

As an ABB Channel Partner, 7th Street Solutions now has direct access to an extensive range of industrial technologies, including:

• Advanced Robotics: From collaborative Cobots to high-speed industrial arms for part extraction and secondary operations.
• Control Systems: Sophisticated PLC and HMI integrations that allow for real-time monitoring and data collection.
• Power Electronics: Precision components that ensure energy efficiency and system longevity.

This access allows our engineering team to design systems that don’t just “work,” but actually optimize the entire production cycle through superior synchronization.

Integrated Automation for the Modern Injection Molding Floor

For our custom injection molding partners, this partnership translates into measurable gains in efficiency. Automation in molding is often the key to achieving “Lights Out” manufacturing or significantly reducing scrap rates during secondary operations.

Our engineering and integration capabilities allow us to deliver complete, turnkey solutions built around ABB technology. Whether we are enhancing an existing production line or developing a whole new cell from scratch, we focus on several key technical outcomes:

1. Cycle Time Optimization: Using high-speed robotics for part removal and gate cutting to shave seconds off every cycle.
2. Precision Insert Loading: Automating the placement of metal inserts into molds to eliminate human error and ensure 100% repeatability.
3. Automated Quality Inspection: Integrating vision systems with ABB controls to identify defects at the press, preventing contaminated lots.

Turnkey Solutions and Deeper Technical Support in Cadillac, MI

One of the primary advantages of this partnership is the strengthening of our local technical support. In the past, manufacturers in Northern Michigan often had to look toward Detroit or Grand Rapids for high-level automation integration.

By becoming an ABB Channel Partner right here in Cadillac, we provide a faster response time and a deeper level of collaborative engineering. ABB’s comprehensive training and digital tools empower our team to provide:

• Seamless System Integration: We don’t just sell hardware; we write the code and build the end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) required for your specific application.
• Service Continuity: Because we are local, our technicians can be on-site to troubleshoot or optimize your ABB systems without the typical delays associated with long-distance vendors.
• Future-Ready Scalability: We design our cells using ABB’s modular architecture, meaning your automation can grow as your production volume increases.

Future-Proofing the Michigan Supply Chain

At 7th Street Solutions, we believe that collaboration fuels innovation. Our partnership with ABB exemplifies our philosophy of “Voice of the Engineer”—where technical proficiency meets practical application.

Together, we are helping our customers modernize their facilities and stay competitive in an evolving industrial landscape. We are excited to bring the strengths of ABB’s global technology leadership to the customers and communities we serve every day. This partnership ensures that 7th Street Solutions remains at the forefront of the “Smart Factory” movement, providing our partners with the tools they need to achieve safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
