Fori Automation provides the design and build of automated material handling, assembly, testing, and welding systems for their manufacturing customers. Recently, our team provided technical expertise and support around Inductive Automation's Digital Platform, Ignition. Using Ignition, our team developed a machine level HMI solution that Fori Automation could use for a specific end user customer application.

As a Premier Integrator for Ignition, our team was equipped with the depth of knowledge and experience needed to make the project a success. Our team integrated the Ignition-centric HMI solution with the customer's weld cell. The weld cell includes 20+ robots and four HMI Ignition clients, proving our team’s ability to work within complex environments.

The HMI solution will help Fori Automation's customer realize the benefits of a fully-automated MES welding operation which includes increased throughput, higher quality, and safety. The application will also be adapted for use on future Fori Automation machines. With an aggressive schedule and heavy coordination between design teams, our team secured a cloud-based machine connection to maintain the project schedule remotely or onsite.
