Improve Productivity with Custom Machine Building and Automation Solutions

Manufacturers across industries are under pressure to produce more—faster, more consistently, and with fewer resources.  Rising labor costs, tighter quality requirements, and increasing production complexity all make it harder to maintain efficiency using standard, off‑the‑shelf equipment.

That’s where custom machine building and automation solutions make the difference.

At 7th Street Solutions, we design and deliver custom machines and automation systems tailored to specific production requirements.  By aligning equipment, controls, and automation strategies with real‑world manufacturing goals, we help customers improve productivity, reduce downtime, and gain long‑term operational flexibility.

Why Custom Machine Building Matters

No two manufacturing processes are exactly alike.  While standard machinery may address basic needs, it often falls short when it comes to optimizing throughput, quality, or footprint.

Custom machine building allows manufacturers to:

  • Design equipment around unique products or processes
  • Eliminate unnecessary manual steps
  • Integrate seamlessly with existing production lines
  • Maximize floor space efficiency
  • Scale operations as demand increases

Rather than forcing processes to adapt to equipment, custom machines allow equipment to be built to achieve the optimal process.

Improving Productivity Through Purpose‑Built Automation

The true value of custom automation lies in its ability to improve productivity without introducing unnecessary complexity.  When machines are engineered specifically for the task, they operate more efficiently, more reliably, and with fewer constraints.

Custom automation solutions can:

  • Reduce cycle times through optimized motion and sequencing
  • Increase uptime with simplified, maintainable designs
  • Minimize operator intervention and variability
  • Support consistent production across shifts

At 7th Street Solutions, productivity improvements are designed into every machine from the start—not added as an afterthought.

Integrating Automation for Smarter Manufacturing

Custom machine building becomes even more powerful when paired with industrial automation systems.  Controls, robotics, and software work together to create a unified, efficient production environment.

Automation integration may include:

  • PLC‑based control systems and HMI interfaces
  • Robotics for material handling, assembly, or inspection
  • Vision systems for quality verification
  • Safety systems designed to meet and exceed regulatory requirements

Our team focuses on intelligent integration that simplifies operation while expanding capability.  Moreover, our ABB Channel Partnership allows the 7th Street Solutions team to utilize ABB’s global leadership in robotics and discrete automation, along with our deep-rooted expertise in custom injection molding and systems integration, to deliver turnkey automation solutions that are as precise as they are scalable.

Flexibility and Scalability Built In

Production demands change, products evolve, and volumes increase.  Custom equipment that lacks flexibility can quickly become obsolete.

That’s why 7th Street Solutions designs machines with:

  • Modular architectures for easy modification
  • Control systems capable of future expansion
  • Automation platforms that support additional stations or functions
  • Layouts that accommodate changes in workflow or footprint

This forward‑thinking approach protects investment and supports long‑term growth.

From Concept to Commissioning—and Beyond

Successful custom machine projects require more than technical expertise.  They require clear communication, disciplined project management, and a deep understanding of manufacturing realities.

7th Street Solutions supports customers across the entire lifecycle:

  • Concept development and feasibility analysis
  • Mechanical, electrical, and controls design
  • Build, test, and validation
  • On‑site installation and commissioning
  • Ongoing optimization and support

Our collaborative approach ensures machines perform as expected—from day one and for years to come.
