Wakefield is renowned for its small business sector, its historical character, and its crafting skills. Wakefield is situated in the municipality of La Pêche, just north of Gatineau, and is conveniently near Ottawa, with woodworking shops, custom fabricators, construction suppliers, specialty manufacturers, and businesses that support customers across the Outaouais. Although these enterprises do not necessarily have to possess large production units, they do have to address a critical question: How to increase the output without continuously raising the cost of labor?

We at Capital Automation advance businesses from Wakefield’s production by supplying their customized automation solutions. From custom product manufacturing to component assembly to repetitive packaging and material handling, we create solutions that fit your needs, improve your productivity, and keep your product quality in line with your customers’ expectations.

Helping Wakefield Businesses Work Smarter

Over the years, many businesses in Wakefield have developed and expanded steadily as a result of their crafts and valued services. However, there are new operational challenges, too. You might be receiving more orders than you can easily manage in your workflow. Skilled workers are working on repetitive tasks rather than skilled production work. When demand was once met, equipment was not a problem, and recruiting qualified workers had become more difficult.

These are the types of problems we can assist you with daily. Our focus is not to change your business model entirely; we just want to see where we can make changes to keep production as efficient as possible without causing too much disruption.

Where Are You Losing Time?

Isn’t the largest area for improvement always there in plain sight?

While there are numerous ways that delays can occur, it’s often something seemingly mundane like moving parts between workstations, manually loading machines, or performing the same assembly operation hundreds of times that quietly eats away at productivity without anyone realizing it. If those delays occur daily, they impact delivery schedules, operating costs, and additional work.

Let’s take a look at how automation can help.

Automation isn’t about replacing experienced people. It’s all about providing your workforce with a better tool for doing more, not more.

Automation That Fits Your Business

Each workshop, fabrication shop, and manufacturing process is unique. This is why it is vital to have a good grasp of how your business works at the outset of any custom automation project.

Our team comes to your facility to review your production process and identify areas where automation will bring the most benefit.

Depending on your operation, we may suggest solutions like the following:

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

Each system is designed to integrate into your current workflow and enhance your efficiency without having to replace a process that is already working well.

A Practical Approach from Design to Installation

This is a significant investment, and you need a partner that isn’t going to make your life a nightmare.

We begin by listening. We discover your production needs, workflow, equipment, and plans during our initial consultation. Once we have a clear understanding of your operation, our engineering team will create a solution unique to your business.

From there, we manage all aspects of implementation, such as:

• The design and engineering of systems
• The integration of mechanical and electrical systems.
• The use of PLC and HMI programming.
• Equipment fabrication
• Installation and commissioning
• The training of operators and the testing of the equipment.

We are committed to helping you after installation. We can assist you in optimizing and supporting your production automation system to keep it adding value for years to come, as you continue your evolution in production.
