Custom machines · Retrofit · Industry 4.0

The machine your process needs isn't in any catalog. We design and build it.

Mechanical, electrical, automation and software engineering in one team: we build special-purpose machines, robotic cells and equipment retrofits, with machine safety, complete documentation and production data from day one.

3D design and simulation Machine safety (NR-12 / ISO) PLC, HMI and robotics Factory acceptance test MES/ERP integration
One team, from CAD to code
Mechanical, electrical, automation and software under a single contract. No finger-pointing between vendors.
Safety by design
Risk assessment per NR-12 and ISO 12100, with safety functions sized to ISO 13849.
Tested before it ships
Factory acceptance test (FAT) with your real parts. The machine only goes to your plant once it meets the spec.
Connected from birth
OEE, traceability and alarms streamed to your MES, ERP or cloud. We are a software company: this is our home turf.
Signs it's time

When your line needs a new machine (or a renewed one)

The problems that most often bring manufacturers to us.

A bottleneck holding the line

One manual or slow operation sets the pace for the whole plant and throughput can't keep up with demand.

Obsolete machine

Discontinued PLC, spare parts that no longer exist and only one person who can touch the program.

Risk and non-compliance

Improvised guarding, e-stops that don't meet the standard and the risk of a shutdown during an inspection.

Inconsistent quality

High scrap and rework, tiring manual visual inspection and customer complaints that arrive too late.

Labor shortage

Repetitive, ergonomically poor tasks with high turnover and hard-to-fill positions.

Production without data

Nobody knows the real OEE, why the machine stopped or how many good parts came out this shift.

Solutions

From a simple fixture to a complete line

Engineering tailored to your product, your layout and your takt time.

Special-purpose machines

Equipment designed from scratch for a specific operation: assembly, dosing, filling, pressing, screwdriving, riveting, marking, cutting and packaging.

Retrofit and modernization

Replacement of obsolete PLCs, HMIs, drives and servos, mechanical overhaul and program migration. Your machine gets a new service life for a fraction of the cost of a new one.

Robotic cells

Industrial and collaborative robots for pick & place, palletizing, machine tending, welding, screwdriving and material handling.

Machine vision and AI inspection

Industrial cameras and computer vision models to detect defects, read codes and text, verify assemblies and measure dimensions on 100% of parts.

Machine safety compliance

Plant-wide inventory and risk assessment, design and installation of guards, light curtains, interlocks, safety relays and safety PLCs.

SCADA, MES and IIoT

SCADA, OEE, lot and serial-number traceability, production recipes and ERP integration, with data available from anywhere.

Method

From site survey to start-up, no black box

Every stage ends with a concrete deliverable and your formal sign-off.

Machine running on your line
Industry 4.0

Your machine ships already talking to the rest of the company

Many projects stop at the electrical panel. Because Devskin is also a software, cloud and data company, the same team that automates the machine connects the shop floor to your systems.

  • OEE, downtime and reasons logged automatically, by shift and by product
  • Lot and serial-number traceability with the parameters of every part
  • ERP and MES integration via OPC UA, MQTT or API
  • Secure remote access for support, with a segmented industrial network
  • Predictive maintenance alerts and dashboards on your phone

FAQ

Industrial automation FAQ

It depends on complexity. Simple fixtures and benches take weeks; special-purpose machines and robotic cells usually take a few months across engineering, build, testing and start-up. After the technical survey you get a proposal with fixed scope, schedule and price.
Yes. We inventory and risk-assess your machines, design the protective measures (fixed and movable guards, light curtains, interlocks, two-hand controls, safety relays and safety PLCs) and implement them with the corresponding documentation.
When the mechanical structure is in good shape, a retrofit is usually cheaper and faster than new equipment, and it also solves PLC obsolescence, safety and connectivity. During the survey we compare both scenarios with numbers.
Yes. We work with Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, Mitsubishi, Omron, Beckhoff and WEG, and with FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa and Universal Robots, among others, following your plant's standards and spare parts stock.
The machine comes with a contractual warranty, assisted operation during the first production days and secure remote support. For ongoing peace of mind we offer maintenance contracts, spare parts and software evolution.
Yes. Manufacturing processes are trade secrets: we sign an NDA before any site visit or drawing exchange.
