Custom machinery —
built, shipped, signed.
Long-running controls partnership with RAISA, a custom machine builder serving North America. We own PLC, robot, HMI and on-site commissioning across multi-platform builds (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi) — 12+ machines delivered, 100% on-time, 2-week average commissioning across USA and México.
Five constraints, every build.
A machine builder doesn't ship one product - it ships a unique machine on every PO. The controls scope has to be ready for that variance without losing schedule, quality or documentation discipline.
Unique requirements every build
No two RAISA machines are identical. Each program needs custom logic, application-specific I/O mapping and a tailored HMI.
Multi-system integration
Custom builds combine robots, vision, pneumatics, servo motion and safety into a single coherent machine — owned end-to-end.
Tight ship-and-install windows
End customers have production deadlines. Machines must ship FAT-clean and stand up at the customer site without surprises.
Cross-border commissioning
Installations span the USA and México. Travel, customs and bilingual operator handover have to be planned, not improvised.
End-customer documentation
Every end customer requires complete electrical schematics, commented PLC code, I/O lists, operator manuals and PM procedures.
Machine build — RAISA floor to customer site.
Schematic of the OEM build pipeline from spec intake to signed SAT. Each gate is owned end-to-end — multi-platform PLC, robot scope, HMI, FAT at RAISA, then ship and on-site SAT in USA or México with bilingual handover.
Five work-streams, one controls partner.
RAISA gets a single controls partner across the build - PLC, robot, HMI, FAT/SAT and documentation owned end-to-end so the customer signs against one integrator regardless of platform.
PLC programming
Per-build PLC architecture — picked from the OEM platform that fits the customer (AB, Siemens or Mitsubishi).
- ▸Sequence logic from the machine design intent
- ▸Full I/O mapping · sensors / actuators / drives
- ▸Safety interlock implementation
- ▸Fault detection + recovery routines
- ▸Production tracking + data hooks
Robot integration
Robot scope owned alongside the PLC so motion + logic land as one signed package.
- ▸Robot program for the application envelope
- ▸PLC ↔ robot comms + handshake
- ▸Coordinated motion sequencing
- ▸Collision envelopes + safety zones
- ▸Teach-point optimization
HMI development
Operator-friendly screens built per machine — designed for the actual end-customer crew.
- ▸Main operation + status screens
- ▸Setup + recipe management
- ▸Diagnostic + troubleshooting screens
- ▸Maintenance + PM tracking
- ▸Production data displays
FAT + on-site SAT
Pre-shipment FAT at the RAISA build floor, then on-site SAT and acceptance at the customer plant.
- ▸Pre-shipment FAT at RAISA
- ▸On-site install + I/O verification
- ▸Calibration + run-off
- ▸Bilingual operator + maintenance training
- ▸Signed acceptance + warranty handover
Documentation pack
Complete documentation set ships with every machine.
- ▸Commented PLC program
- ▸Electrical schematics
- ▸I/O + device list
- ▸Operator manual
- ▸Maintenance + PM procedures
Partnership specification.
The capability matrix held across every RAISA build - multi-platform PLC, robot, vision and a standardized documentation pack that ships with every machine.
From brief to signed SAT.
Five gates, repeated build after build. Each gate produces a controlled deliverable so RAISA always ships a documented machine - not a finger-crossed one.
Machine spec + scope
Controls + safety architecture
PLC + robot + HMI program

The numbers below are the partnership track record - measured across 12+ delivered RAISA machines installed in the USA and Mexico.
- 12+ custom machines delivered on a per-spec basis
- 100 % on-time delivery against customer install windows
- On-site SAT closed in 2 weeks average
- Bilingual EN/ES handover at every site
- Standardized documentation pack ships with every machine
"iAutomate is our extended controls team. They pick the right platform, ship FAT-clean and stand up the machine at the customer site — we don't have to call anyone else."
