Automation Solutions We have helped manufacture thousands of machines that have been sent all over the world into every conceivable industry.

Custom control systems to machine builders, control system renovations,i custom machines to end-users, components, programming, design, UL508 panels, and service. Since 1997, Automation Solutions has been an integral partner to manufacturers building automated machinery in the Northwest, providing systems integration, programming, UL508 control panels, and field support. We stand behind and support every machine we have ever built. We are also proud to be a full line stocking distributor for the components that we trust to use in the assemblies that bear our name and reputation. We are more than an integrator, and more than a distributor; we offer a value-added process. Bringing the perspectives of integrator and distributor together means that we are not just selling components from a sales sheet, but we're offering the components that we use day-in and day-out to satisfy the needs of our long-term OEM and end user customers. We know the strengths and limitations of each of these components and are pleased to offer that experience to our distribution customers. As a long-term supplier to machine builders, Automation Solutions has to stand behind everything we build and every component we sell. We have more to risk than a single component sale; we have to ensure that the system works properly, is delivered on time, and will keep performing for years to come. Let us help you with your machine or factory automation requirements, and we guarantee that you will be fully satisfied with the results

In the collectibles world, true authentication starts long before a slab hits the label printer. From ink behavior and paper stock density to surface wear and sub‑grade centering, every micro‑detail tells a story.

The most successful grading desks and high‑volume intake teams don’t rely on eyeball judgment. They build their workflows around controlled, automated, high‑precision inspection to flag trim lines, alterings, and surface flaws instantly.

Small details protect massive investments.

Standardize your intake. Safeguard your reputation.

A misplaced slab or misfiled stack usually starts at the physical sorting table. When operators manually move thousands of items a day between intake, imaging, and storage, physical mix-ups and handling wear are bound to happen.

Automated material handling changes the game. Engineered specifically for delicate collectibles, custom pick-and-place modules and automated mechanical sorters physically transport, isolate, and route every item exactly where it needs to go—without risking human error or physical surface damage.

Keep your physical product moving smoothly, safely, and accurately.

In the collectibles world, grading accuracy starts with controlled conditions. Shadows, glare, and inconsistent angles can shift a grade enough to change value, especially when you’re dealing with high‑end cards and comics.

Collectors who want repeatable results treat their grading setup like an inspection station: stable lighting, fixed positioning, and a workflow designed for consistency.

What’s one grading habit your team swears by?

Changeovers get messy when people rely on memory instead of a checklist. In chemical production, confirming every valve position, interlock, and setpoint is what keeps the next batch predictable.

A clean, standardized checklist tied to the recipe saves more time than people expect.

A legacy PLC that’s “still running” can be the biggest hidden liability in a chemical plant. Once a platform enters late‑life support, parts availability drops, firmware updates slow down, and the next failure becomes a redesign instead of a repair.

Planned migrations protect production schedules, compliance timelines, and audit readiness. Reactive ones cost more and hit harder.

If you’re unsure where your system stands, our Automation Checkup is a good place to start.

Instrumentation drift doesn’t just shift a batch, it shifts the entire control strategy your system is built on. In chemical production, a flow meter that’s off by a few percent or a temperature probe that’s aging out can quietly push a recipe out of spec long before alarms fire.

Teams that stay ahead treat calibration as part of process control, not a maintenance checkbox.

A clean changeover checklist saves more time than people expect, especially when it’s tied into an electronic PTW workflow your control system actually supports.

When a line switches between chemical processes, half the delay usually isn’t the changeover itself, it’s confirming every valve, setpoint, and interlock reset correctly. A standardized checklist tied to the recipe, and integrated into an electronic permit‑to‑work system, cuts that confirmation time down to minutes and keeps every step auditable.

Small habit, real time savings.

That’s exactly what we help plants do: build control systems that support safe, fast, auditable changeovers.

Manual compliance tracking works fine, until an audit asks for records from eighteen months ago.

When batch and process data live in scattered logs instead of an integrated system, proving compliance turns into a scramble every time. Automated data capture doesn’t just save the scramble, it catches discrepancies in real time, before they become a finding.

ISO standards like 9001, 14001, and 45001 all require documented, accessible, and retained records to demonstrate control, traceability, and continuous improvement. When those records aren’t centralized, audits get slower, findings get more likely, and certification risk goes up.

The cost of manual tracking rarely shows up until you need the records fast.

Where does your team currently store batch and process compliance data?

Batch consistency in chemical production lives or dies on calibration discipline.

Small drift in a flow meter or temperature sensor doesn't announce itself, it just quietly shifts your batch results until QA catches something out of spec. Tying calibration schedules directly into your control system, rather than tracking them on a separate sheet, closes the gap between when drift happens and when someone notices.

The process is only as reliable as the instruments feeding it.
