Providing Automation for Your Metal Manufacturing Business

Metal manufacturing facilities are not only facing external pressures from supply shortages and trade wars, but internally many facilities are struggling with a lack of diagnostics and a retiring workforce that is becoming more and more difficult to replace. CBT understands the obstacles of the metal manufacturing industry and offers innovative solutions to improve your plant’s efficiency through automation, lighting, networking, and even safety protocols. 

Fabricated Metal Manufacturing Solutions

If you have been tasked with improving productivity and safety, while reducing energy consumption and overall costs, CBT can provide you with real results that will increase your bottom line.

Our in-house team of engineers has decades of experience and will walk alongside you from strategic design all the way through implementation and training. 

Optimizing Steel Production

THROUGH REDUCED ENERGY CONSUMPTION
CBT provides steel manufacturing solutions that are designed to lower costs and reduce overall energy consumption. Automation systems increase overall productivity which can provide higher throughput at a lower cost. The implementation of a Manufacturing Execution System (MES), can be used to reduce scrap, eliminate production variability, reduce downtime, and improve capacity planning by integrating production with scheduling.

THROUGH AUTOMATION
Steel manufacturing is running at an all-time high, pushing capacity utilization across the board. Even the most complex fabrication shops can benefit from metal processing automation. Smart manufacturing can be used to increase throughput for a variety of applications including:

• Arc Welding
• Spot Welding
• Cutting
• Punching
• Machine Tending

CBT works collaboratively with your team to implement specific solutions that generate the perfect control solutions for your facility.

Beyond Automation

Did you know that CBT offers more than equipment and production solutions? Our expert, in-house engineering staff has years of experience with production automation. Whether your existing team has their hands too full or you just need some expert advice, CBT can provide assistance every step of the way from strategy and planning, to implementation and training. We also understand the importance of safety in metal manufacturing facilities and can recommend improved safety protocols that protect you and your employees, reducing workers' compensation claims and incident downtime.
