 System
Design & Layout
Whether you are starting a new “Greenfield” system
or expanding a current system, Loading Automation, Inc. has
the capability to develop conveyor material handling systems
layouts that include all process equipment, plant utilities
(compressed air, electrical, hydraulic, and networking) and
control panels to work in your facility.
Controls Engineering
We offer a wide variety of control options for our systems.
We build all of our control panels to customer specifications.
Everything from basic relay logic to advanced PLC and computer
controls with operator touch screen interfaces integrated into
a plant Ethernet network.
We are familiar with component part broadcasts for Just-In-Time
(JIT) sequenced parts shipment. We have experience with product
labeling and tracking devices such as bar coding and radio frequency
(RF) tags.
Loading Automation has the ability to design and build electrical
control panels, install and wire them, and start them up. Every
control system is tailored to customer needs. Some features
that are offered in addition to controlling equipment are as
follows:

 Project
Management / Mechanical and Electrical Installation
Loading Automation offers “Turn-Key” project management.
Loading Automation provides everything from equipment delivery,
installation, and startup. All projects are managed using a
project timeline to ensure that all aspects of a project are
done in a timely manner and that deadlines are met. Loading
Automation engineers supervise crews of licensed mechanical
and electrical installers throughout all projects.
Process Simulation and Animation
Simulation
Loading Automation, Inc. has the capability to analyze existing
and new processes by using computer simulation software to determine
bottlenecks and process flow constraints.
Animation
Computer animation is used to visualize a product or process
prior to developing a working model. Loading Automation has
the resources to create models of a product or process. Below
is an example of a military application.
