We build custom automation systems for structural steel and heavy fabrication, replacing manual operations with precision-controlled machinery that increases throughput, improves consistency, and reduces reliance on skilled trade labor.
Development of fully automated welding machines for structural steel fabrication, including multi-axis servo controls, VFD-driven conveyors and cross transfers, and custom algorithms for seam tracking and weld parameterization. Our automated welding systems handle recipe-based operation across hundreds of product types and have delivered 2–3x throughput improvements while eliminating the need for a skilled welder to operate the machine.
Controls engineering for purpose-built production equipment in infrastructure and heavy industry, including safety PLCs, multi-axis drive systems, and operator interfaces designed for high-throughput, high-reliability environments. We work with fabricators and equipment builders to develop the complete controls package from architecture through commissioning.
How CSI designed and built a fully automated pull-through welder system — combining six-axis servo motion control, digital seam tracking, and recipe-driven operation to produce structural steel beams that meet construction and military transportation codes.
