The growth of Riverside South is one of the most dynamic communities in Ottawa, bringing new companies, skilled workers, and entrepreneurs to the National Capital Region. The community is mostly residential; however, there are manufacturing, industrial, fabricating, or packaging businesses in the Ottawa region. As these companies expand, there will be growing concerns about maintaining efficient production while controlling costs.

Automation can increase your production without having to hire additional workers, especially if you are dealing with labor shortages, repetitive manual tasks, or production bottlenecks. At Capital Automation, we understand the needs of companies in Riverside South and throughout the Ottawa region and assist them with creating solutions that are practical and effective for their existing systems.

Supporting Businesses That Serve Ottawa’s Industrial Sector

Riverside South’s businesses supply Ottawa manufacturers, construction firms, food processing plants, and industrial plants. If you oversee a fabrication shop, assemble products, package finished goods, or make custom parts, it’s safe to say you occasionally encounter similar challenges every day.

You may be suffering from:

• A workforce of highly trained workers who are in short supply.
• Staff working excessive periods on repetitive manual tasks.
• Efficient workflows that lead to production delays.
• Rising demand that your existing configuration cannot meet.
• Equipment that is out-of-date and hampers productivity.

These problems are not occurring in a flash but, over time, will diminish productivity and stymie growth. Instead of struggling with those problems, many companies are looking at automation to enhance the production process but not disrupt current operations.

Is Your Workflow Holding Back Production?

It’s easy for business owners to become so caught up in maintaining production every day that they forget about the little inefficiencies that accumulate over time. Perhaps workers are having to move materials from one workstation to another for hours. Maybe one assembly process is a bottleneck for the rest of the assembly line. Or perhaps skilled operators are occupied doing repetitive work rather than work in which they are skilled. The problems not only hamper productivity but also increase labor expenses, cause unnecessary downtime, and increase the difficulty in delivering projects on time.

Let’s look at how automation can assist you.

Automation is not about taking away your employees. It’s about enabling your current staff to do more with what you already have!

Automation That Fits the Way You Work

Every business is unique, and every automation system should be different.

The first step in every custom automation project at Capital Automation is to understand your operation. We come to your site, observe your processes, and determine the ones that are eating up your time and money.

Your automation solution can consist of:

• Automated assembly systems
• Material handling equipment
• Conveyor integration
• Packaging automation
• Robotic work cells
• Pick-and-place systems

For an application, we don’t make you change to standard equipment; we design automation to work with what you are doing today and to accommodate growth in the future.

From Consultation to Commissioning, We’ve Got You Covered

From the initial concept to its completion, we are here to help you every step of the way. First, we listen to your production needs, the workflow that you are currently on, and your plans.
