Chang Robotics, a leading provider of advanced engineering services and autonomous technology, has officially announced a partnership with Engineered Products, an industry-leading supplier of innovative turnkey roll-formed and structural steel which enables automated material handling systems. According to certain reports, the partnership will help Chang leverage how the latter works with global integrators to design, build, and install racking systems that can be used with systems of all kinds, ranging from mini-load to pallet handling. It will also be able to bank upon EP’s ability to provide structural foundation for successful robotics projects that collaborate with your operations team and enhance the efficiency and dependability of your workforce. More on what makes EP an ideal candidate for such an effort includes its expertise in designing and implementing automation infrastructure improvements. Here, we refer to the company’s track record in regards to delivering customized tools that enable automation enhancements for the purpose of ensuring a smooth flow in advanced manufacturing. Next up, we must get into the company’s bid to prioritize precision. You see, EP has consistently proven itself as well-equipped when it comes to gauging the importance of specialty equipment and customized layouts for optimal performance of AS/RS. Then, there is the focus on delivering value-based solutions, solutions that can offer a strong return on investment with reduced overall costs, allowing clients to reach profitability faster.
“Engineered Products looks forward to joining forces with Chang Robotics,” said Tommy Sinclair, CEO and President of Engineered Products. “By combining our strengths, we can offer the market a comprehensive and cutting-edge automation package. Combining EP’s advanced racking manufacturing with Chang’s strength in technology integration will bring a unique offering. EP is committed to providing solutions that enable all of our customers to implement automation, helping them to win.”
Beyond that, making EP all the more fitting as a partner is its expertise in automation. Boasting sizeable knowledge on the subject, the company has also, in 2024, begun a facility consolidation which will revolutionize internal workflow of racking manufacturing. By the end of 2025, though, EP will combine three facilities into one, and therefore, achieve significantly increased efficiency. This efficiency in turn, will allow EP to continue to be a cost-competitive player in AS/RS racking. In fact, the company has already started to implement manufacturing automation in-house, with one example being its brand-new automated channel punching line. The stated channel punching line effectively streamlines manual processes to increase efficiency, accuracy, precision, and speed. All in all, such a mechanism allows EP to deliver quality parts to the site faster, and that too, at a competitive cost. Next up, we have the company’s expansion of robotic wielding, a move geared towards prepping up the technology in question to soon deliver customized solutions at the disposal of structural steel segment within the AS/RS market.
Hold on, there is more, considering we still haven’t acknowledged EP’s laser cutting integration whichallows for the industry’s most precise and automated cutting processes. Rounding up highlights would be the company’s commitment towards upgrading paint line operations to a powder coating line by the end of 2025. The idea behind doing so is to achieve a faster painting process and a superior finished product.
“We are excited to partner with Engineered Products and co-create customized autonomous systems. Our collaboration empowers our clients to thrive in an extremely competitive landscape. The combined resources and expertise of Engineered Products will ensure a successful automation journey for our clients,” said Chris Callura, Vice President of Operations at Chang Robotics.
