Factories don’t grow by accident, but they do grow when someone takes ownership of the next constraint.
The DEVELOP Automation Assessment gives you a clear view of what should be automated and what it will take to do it right. Our engineers walk the floor, review production data, and define scope before capital gets committed.
If the project moves forward, up to $25,000 of the assessment is credited toward your first custom machine build.
Customers and Partners we’ve worked with
DEVELOP is an automation systems integrator and machine builder. We help manufacturers define, design, and deliver automation systems that hold up under real production pressure.
Every project starts with a clear plan grounded in how your factory actually runs, then moves into build and execution with the same team.
Most manufacturers don’t start in the same place. The right starting point depends on how clear the opportunity is and how much internal capacity you have to execute it.
START WITH CLARITY
For manufacturers evaluating a specific process and needing clear scope, cost direction, and feasibility before committing capital.
Up to $25,000 credited toward your first machine build.
BUILD THE PLAN
For teams that need a plan leadership can review, challenge, and approve before moving forward.
Used to align technical reality with business goals before execution begins.
EXECUTE WITH SUPPORT
For manufacturers ready to build, but without the internal capacity to scope, manage, and deliver automation projects effectively.
DEVELOP operates as an extension of your team, carrying decisions through execution.
ASSESSMENT
Start with an industrial automation assessment built for ROI, not guesswork. Most plants lose money where no one’s looking, through wasted motion, inconsistent labor, and process delays. Our Automation Assessment reveals where automation can pay off, and how to structure your project for real returns.
Before you commit to anything, we offer a complimentary screening call to verify that your operation has automation potential worth pursuing. If it’s not a fit, we’ll tell you.
PROCESS
Automation follows a sequence of decisions. Each step builds on what’s been learned on the floor and what the business is trying to achieve.
CASE STUDY
One Midwest facility was battling surging demand with aging equipment. They partnered with DEVELOP for a full line redesign. The result? Cycle time cut by 81% and a machine that paid for itself in under 9 months.

SERVICES
DEVELOP LLC helps manufacturers evaluate automation opportunities, design production systems, and solve complex engineering problems on the factory floor. Some projects start with a clear automation goal. Others begin with the need to understand the process before committing capital.
ABOUT US
Based in Wisconsin, we serve manufacturers across the U.S. with end-to-end automation integration expertise.
INSIGHTS
Still have questions about industrial automation services or how DEVELOP LLC can accelerate your factory’s growth? We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions from manufacturers like you.
An Automation Assessment is a structured, engineering-led evaluation of a specific production process.
We review how the process actually runs, capture constraints, and define whether automation is viable before capital is committed. The output is a clear direction, a cost range, and a next step based on real production data.
Most Automation Assessments start at $12,500+, depending on scope and complexity.
If the project moves forward, up to $25,000 of the assessment is credited toward your first machine build. The assessment becomes part of the build process rather than a separate expense.
An assessment makes sense when a process is limiting growth, but the path forward is not clear enough to approve.
It also applies when the direction is understood, but internal teams do not have the capacity to scope and execute it properly.
Many manufacturers use the assessment as the first step toward either a defined machine build or an ongoing partnership.
The assessment typically includes:
This work defines scope and risk before detailed design begins.
You receive documentation designed for decision-making:
Everything is grounded in data captured from your floor.
Once the direction is defined, the next step is execution.
That usually means moving forward with a machine build or establishing an extension-of-team model where DEVELOP stays involved across multiple automation decisions.
The same engineering context carries forward, so the work does not need to be re-scoped.
This work is best suited to manufacturers running complex operations or planning for meaningful growth.
Many companies in the $50M–$500M+ range reach this point when production demands outpace internal engineering capacity or when automation decisions carry real capital risk.
Start with a planning call. We’ll review the process, understand what you’re trying to achieve, and determine whether there’s a real opportunity worth pursuing. If there is, we define the next step. If not, we’ll tell you.
Automation is leverage, when it’s built on a solid plan. Let’s build yours.
