Your end-to-end automation partner, all the way through.
From discovery to ROI, we give you the clarity, systems, and support to scale with confidence.
There are many machine builders, but few are structured the way we are. Because we’re a vertically integrated, single-source partner, you don’t deal with fragmented timelines, multiple vendors, or vague handoffs. We own every stage of the project: strategy, design, engineering, build, test, install, training, and support.
That gives you:
If you’re ready to scale your operation, we’re ready to help you build what it takes to get there.

SOLUTIONS
Clarity before capital. Strategy before specs.
Most automation projects don’t fail because of bad machines. They fail because of misaligned expectations, vague scopes, or unclear ROI. That’s why we start every engagement with our Automation Partner Program. It’s a structured automation consulting service that ensures you have the clarity, tools, and buy-in you need before any equipment is designed.
Depending on your internal bandwidth and preferred pace, we offer three engagement models:
START
Understand where automation fits in your operation.
PLAN
A hands-on assessment of your production environment.
BUILD
DEVELOP works alongside your team to design and deliver automation systems.
Whether you’re just dipping your toe in or ready to build a future-proof automation system, our tiered engagement model gives you options (and clarity) at every step.
And when you move forward with a DEVELOP machine build, we credit up to $25,000 of your assessment investment toward your project.
Journey
By the end of this phase, you’ll have a focused automation strategy with stakeholder alignment, technical feasibility, and clear next steps, all ready to implement. And if you move forward with a DEVELOP machine build, you’ll get 100% credit for your engagement investment, up to $25,000.
Want to see the big impacts we have on businesses? Elec-Tron partnered with DEVELOP to build a custom extrusion processing machine that increased output to over 4.5 million units per year. The result: faster production, improved safety, and a future-ready system with rapid ROI.

Less friction. More insight. No filler.
Once your automation roadmap is in place, the next step is turning vision into reality. This phase involves scoping and designing a system that fits your space, your people, and your production goals.
Transparent Project Timeline
Our project timelines aren’t built on guesswork. They’re driven by a structured risk assessment that happens before any design begins. This process is how we identify and front-load high-risk elements, determining where to start, what to prototype, and which modules to build first.
By tackling the biggest variables, we protect your timeline and budget from the start. We give you clear milestones and checkpoints along the way, and your team stays engaged at every stage. We also validate your machine with your parts throughout the build, ensuring real-world performance and eliminating costly surprises from day one.
Our structured automation project management approach keeps risk low, ensures accountability, and gives your team confidence from scope to installation.
Automation Implementation That Fits Your Operation
Once we greenlight the scope, the machine moves into design. Unlike many integrators, we don’t send designs over the wall or hide behind vendor chains. You stay involved at every critical step. Then, we build everything in-house.
If a tweak is needed, we make it early, when changes are fast and inexpensive.
Because we’re vertically integrated, we don’t lose time handing projects off between suppliers. Our build cycles are fast, our communication stays tight, and our quality stays consistent.
Validated performance. No surprises on install day
We take testing seriously. Before anything ships, we run your actual parts through the machine to simulate real production. That includes:
You’ll participate in two final review gates:
Once your machine arrives on site, we reassemble, install, and run Site Acceptance Testing (SAT). From there, we train your team to own the system from day one and beyond.
Solutions
If your team can’t run it, it’s not a solution.
Training isn’t a one-off. It’s embedded into how we deploy your system. From day one, we focus on building confidence across your team, making sure everyone knows exactly how to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot the equipment in a way tailored to their role.
Here’s what that looks like:
Support
Automation doesn’t stop at delivery. Neither do we.
When your system goes live, our job isn’t over. Every new DEVELOP machine includes 90 days of premium automation support, free. After that, you choose from flexible service packages: quarterly, annual, or on-demand.
Support options include:
With DEVELOP, automation services don’t end at delivery. We help you optimize performance over time.
Manufacturing Automation Solutions with Measurable Impact
One of our long-standing partners, Elec-Tron, gave us a simple goal: increase their output. We helped them scale up to 4 million units annually across multiple product lines in under a year. That system wasn’t just designed and built in-house; it was scoped, tested, optimized, and supported by DEVELOP from start to finish.
That’s the kind of partnership we build, and that’s the kind of automation integration that delivers rapid ROI.
Automation is leverage, when it’s built on a solid plan. Let’s build yours.
