Reduce the risk, cost and timeline for custom automation in your factory.
How it works"The team was easy to talk to - they asked the right questions and took the time to understand our business"
Chris Ebner, General Manager - AVID
How it works
Automation of manufacturing, packing and associated processes can be expensive, risky and time consuming. The capacity & capability to manage a complex procurement process is hard to juggle alongside competing priorities.
As a broker, we clearly define our clients automation needs before working with technology partners to present a range of specific proposals. Our process makes costs competitive, reduces project risk and supports our manufacturers to achieve game changing results.
Our agnostic support ensures manufacturers automate the right process and achieve the right returns.
Like other brokers, our costs are largely covered by the technology partners we work with. We charge a small fee for some of our services to manufacturers.

Who are we?
Manufacturing experts with years of experience in digital transformation in manufacturing.
We know the challenges of trying to get an automation project off the ground. The initial budgeting, business case creation, and sign-off, through to managing and analysing responses. It's a daunting task for manufacturers who need to keep improving their performance, but are often held back by out-of-date assets.
Why we exist
Finding the right technology in manufacturing is hard work. We don’t think it should be.
Custom automation of unique processes that give manufacturers a competitive advantage internationally, are often the most transformative investments manufacturers can make. The process can seem risky, especially without experience and capacity. This is where Fulcrum comes in.
