Automation Solutions

Transform Your Manufacturing with Custom Automation

EAM brings over 30 years of expertise in designing and manufacturing both custom and standard automation systems. Operating from Biddeford, Maine, all engineering, fabrication, and assembly work is handled in‑house, ensuring exceptional control and responsiveness for every project.

Our automation solutions are engineered to enhance manufacturing performance by increasing throughput, reducing manual labor, minimizing waste, improving product quality, and supporting scalability. Whether your needs involve standard equipment or fully customized systems, EAM provides solutions tailored to fit your operational workflow exactly.

The Value of Custom Automation

Unlike off-the-shelf equipment, EAM’s custom automation systems are tailored to fit your products, space constraints, quality standards, and operational objectives. Our collaborative process ensures each machine or system we build is optimized for performance, scalability, and ROI.

Key benefits of custom automation include:

  • Increased productivity through faster cycle times and reduced manual handling
  • Improved product consistency and quality control across batches
  • Reduced labor costs and fewer opportunities for human error
  • Enhanced traceability for regulatory compliance and process visibility
  • Adaptability to unique materials, packaging, or production flows

Applications Across Diverse Industries

EAM’s custom automation solutions are built to serve a wide range of industries that demand precision, speed, and reliability:

  • Medical and pharmaceutical: Custom assembly, vial and tube handling, and cleanroom-ready automation
  • Food production and packaging: Hygienic designs for high-speed molding, wrapping, and boxing
  • Consumer and industrial goods: Automated labeling, RFID integration, and material handling
  • Media and printing: Feeding and processing systems for cards, tags, and inserts

Our equipment can be configured for environments requiring wash-down construction, low-temperature operation, or high-speed vision inspection, ensuring it meets both functional and regulatory standards.

 

Examples of Typical Automation Projects

Medical

Dual-head servo robot cells with ultrasonic welding and integrated vision inspection, used to assemble and verify high-speed medical device production lines.

Food

Multi-line packaging systems for food entrees capable of operating at up to 240 units per minute, engineered for cold and hygienic environments.

Assembly

Ultrasonic welding workcells for exotic or abrasive materials such as glass‑filled nylon spheres, enabling reliable continuous assembly where standard suppliers couldn’t meet performance needs.

Our Project Process—from Concept to Support

At EAM, we manage every automation project as a full lifecycle engagement:

  • We start by collaboratively defining your objectives, production scope, and performance metrics.
  • Our engineering team develops drawings, controls logic, and system architecture tailored to your facility and product requirements.
  • Fabrication and assembly of mechanical, electrical, and control systems occur in our Maine facility—ensuring cohesive integration and quality.
  • Installation includes on-site commissioning, operator training, and documentation to ensure your team can operate and maintain the system.
  • Long-term support includes preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, upgrades, and emergency service to sustain production performance.
