Designing and manufacturing a bespoke solution is very different to the selection, purchase and delivery of a standard machine purchased from a supplier catalogue.

For new projects with particularly challenging requirements, we can conduct a PROOF-OF-CONCEPT phase before a full-scale design and build, to demonstrate the solution to an identified technical risk. A proof-of-concept phase “de risks” the project by identifying and proving the solution to a challenging problem.

The identified technical solution is then built into a detailed project plan and together, these items form the core of a costed automation proposal. It is vital this level of analysis, design, and planning is performed up-front to help minimise the risk of unacceptable project slips or inability to meet the machine capability requirements.

Many different skills are necessary for ensuring that this is managed successfully, across multiple departments – such as sales, engineering and project management. It is these in house capabilities and over 40 years of experience which make James Mae Group a great choice for the development of special purpose automation.
