DEVELOP is an industrial automation systems integrator and robotics integrator based in Verona, Wisconsin. We operate as an extension of your engineering team, building the machines and robotic systems that make your operation faster, more consistent, and more profitable. We don’t just build machines. We learn your business first, figure out where the biggest growth levers are, and build the automation that captures them. The same engineers who assess the opportunity are the ones who design and build the system. That continuity is what makes every subsequent project faster and more valuable.

What Industrial Automation Means in Practice
Industrial automation uses automation robotics, specialized machinery, and integrated software to improve how manufacturing processes operate. In practice, the process includes:
- Automated manufacturing systems that stabilize production and protect your workforce
- Agnostic robotics integration for repeatable, high-speed tasks
- Warehouse automation systems that improve material flow and handling to prevent product from sitting in limbo
- Factory automation systems that connect siloed processes into a single, synchronized production line.
The goal of industrial automation is to create systems that run consistently, scale with demand, and turn automation from a gamble into a growth engine. DEVELOP delivers industrial automation services as a systems integrator, focusing on the spaces between the machines where the biggest inefficiencies typically hide.
Where Automation Projects Stall
Automation projects slow down when scope, sequencing, and system behavior are not clearly defined. Common pitfalls include:
- A bottleneck limiting throughput without a clear root cause
- Capital available, but no defined scope or defensible ROI model
- Buying a machine because it seems like the obvious fix, without understanding the larger process
- Relocating pain downstream instead of fixing the root source.
Industrial automation solutions are most effective when the production system is understood bottom-up from the factory floor before decisions are locked in.
How DEVELOP Structures Industrial Automation Services
Automation projects move forward when decisions are made in the right order. We offer multiple packages to fit your operational maturity.
Automation Roadmap
A plan that leadership can approve
We turn assessment findings into a clear sequence of automation projects, with defined scope, priorities, and ROI direction. Your assessment investment is credited toward your first build, up to $25,000.
Automation Assessment
Start with clarity before you commit capital
We evaluate your process, capture real production data, and define scope, feasibility, and cost direction. Up to $25,000 is credited toward your first machine build.
Automation Department
Execution with an embedded team
DEVELOP operates as an extension of your engineering team. Dedicated engineering capacity embedded in your operation, from strategy through execution and long-term support.
Each path reflects a different level of readiness and keeps decisions grounded in real production conditions.
Industrial Automation Services and Capabilities
We deliver industrial automation services and industrial automation solutions as fully integrated systems. Mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering are developed together so the system performs as one unit.
Before You Commit Capital: The Automation Assessment
An automation readiness assessment defines project viability before a single dollar is risked on hardware.
- Captured production data and firsthand floor observations expose the invisible motions influencing system design.
- Documented findings provide defined scope boundaries, realistic capital ranges, and identified technical risks.
- Engineering-led roadmaps replace assumption-driven planning with a defensible strategy for generational growth.
Case Study: Project 1701
Integrated Production Line Automation in Practice
A manufacturer running a high-speed line with product arriving every 4.5 seconds was struggling with a manual packing bottleneck. Our engineers designed an integrated platform inside a 21.5 x 17.5 ft footprint: a FANUC LR Mate for high-speed case packing with four quick-change end-of-arm tools and a FANUC M-710 handling both case erection and palletizing, plus automated sealing and labeling.
The Result
Manual packing removed, production speed maintained, four-SKU changeovers under four minutes, and follow-on deployments planned for additional facilities.

A Builder-Led Industrial Automation Systems Integrator
As a FANUC Authorized System Integrator and A3 Certified Integrator, DEVELOP operates as both the engineering team and the system builder. We stay responsible from the initial evaluation through design, build, testing, and commissioning. Our vertically integrated approach ensures that trust and alignment compound like interest, making every subsequent project faster and more profitable.
Matt’s Notes from the Factory Floor
“Automation only works when the system is understood before anything is built. If the process is stable and the constraints are clear, automation improves throughput and consistency. If those conditions are not defined, you’re just relocating the pain.”
Matt Moseman, CEO, DEVELOP LLC
Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Automation Services
Manufacturers usually arrive with the same questions around scope, timing, and risk. These answers reflect how automation projects are defined and delivered in practice.
Our industrial automation services handle scoping, proof of concept, and machine builds to data connectivity and scaling. We provide the mechanical design, electrical engineering, and software integration under one roof, so you have one point of contact and one point of accountability.
As an automation systems integrator, we act as the architect of your growth strategy. Most vendors sell you a machine to fix a symptom; DEVELOP designs automated manufacturing systems that fix the root cause. By connecting your floor data to your business objectives, we ensure every automation project earns the right to fund the next one, creating compounding ROI.
Automation is about building capacity for what’s next. You should invest when labor shortages are strangling your shifts, quality defects are eating your margins, or your current throughput is the only thing stopping you from landing a massive new contract. Growth is the reason automation exists, not just doing more with less.
Standalone cells often just move the bottleneck six feet down the line. By focusing on manufacturing automation solutions that look at the whole picture, our team stabilizes the flow of the entire factory. The CAO Mindset prevents you from having five different remotes for five different machines; we aim for one integrated interface that your team can actually run.
Yes. Every custom system needs tuning once it hits the reality of production. Our industrial automation solutions include a dedicated support phase for training, performance tuning, and remote diagnostics. We aren’t looking for a one-off sale. We aren’t looking for a one-off sale. We measure our success by repeat customers and long-term partnerships.
Start With Industrial Automation Services That Fit Your Operation
If you’re evaluating industrial automation, the next step is understanding how automation systems will perform in your specific production environment. As an automation systems integrator, DEVELOP works with you to define, design, and deliver automation that grows your business. Your assessment investment is credited toward your first build, up to $25,000.
