Our “whole-systems approach” means that we review and understand all of the inputs to and outputs from your automation system to provide a seamless integration at install.

Finally, we identify the unique requirements of your application and develop a custom solution that includes proven components and processes. Our goal is to provide a quick return on your investment with reliable automation that improves your production efficiency and reduces labor costs. The result? You get the benefit of a credible, trusted partner as your guide, and save on time, cost and labor.

How We Do It

We have all the resources necessary to execute your custom automation project—we have the experience necessary to produce a successful result. Concept, schedule and pricing is reviewed and confirmed by the senior leadership of the company.

Execution of mechanical and electrical/controls engineering work is managed by our experienced engineering team. When designing our equipment, we choose the most efficient manufacturing methods and cost-effective component standards to maintain project schedule and costs.

Our team of assembly technicians build the equipment, test it and support installation in the customer’s production facility. You will be assigned a project manager as your single point of contact for the duration of your project. The owners maintain involvement in projects and welcome direct communications from customers.

History

Engenesys was formed in August, 2009 by its two founding partners, John Paselsky and Ric Bishop. The two mechanical engineers combined their decades of design experience in the automotive industry (Ric) and packaging industry (John) to provide mechanical engineering design services for custom automation applications. Initial success was achieved with custom equipment designs for Frito Lay and Kraft Foods. Under contract with Jacobs Automation, the company made significant mechanical design contributions to the development of what is now the Rockwell iTRAK system, a revolutionary new technology for automation applications. In collaboration with engineers at Proctor and Gamble, Engenesys executed several custom robot end effector designs for P&G applications. A fortunate meeting at a trade show in 2013 led to the development of a strong and substantial business relationship with Toyota.

Customer needs eventually drove Engenesys to begin manufacturing its completed designs, and formed the basis for the company’s current business operations. Directed by its founders, Engenesys employs talented mechanical and electrical/controls engineers and applies its engineering capabilities to the design and manufacture of custom automotive and packaging automation. Engenesys has demonstrated the ability to successfully bring together the low-cost, short lead time requirements of automotive automation with the intricate function and high production rate demands of packaging automation. It is this experience through which the company has forged its reputation for “simple solutions to complex problems.”
