When no machine exists for your process, we build it

No standard machine fits. A catalog machine can be made to work, but it was never optimized for your process.
It has to scale. A purpose-built machine holds quality as volumes increase.
Hiring is the bottleneck. Automating the repetitive work lets a smaller team run a bigger line.

One engineering team for the whole machine — design, build, controls and documentation.

Concept development, prototyping, risk assessment and regulatory requirements.

PHASE 02

Design

Mechanical and electrical design, simulation and programming.

PHASE 03

Build

Fabrication, assembly and integration in our own shop.

PHASE 04

Commission and install

Commissioning, documentation, MES integration, installation and ongoing support.

Supplier qualification

Qualifying a new automation supplier?

Here is what we provide, so you can check the boxes before you spend a meeting on us.

Documentation package from URS through PQ, to your GAMP requirements
Machines built for FDA-regulated and validated production environments
Certificate of insurance on request
Named references at medical device OEMs and contract manufacturers
Design-build from concept, or build-to-print from your drawings

Lower-risk start

Start with a proof of concept

A proof of concept tests whether automation will hold your cycle time, integrate with your line and return what you need — before you commit capital to a full system.

What our customers say

The Arimation team is very diligent. Everything met the requirements we created. Clear communication, good teamwork, and fast execution.PhilipsGrace Yakutis, R&D Engineer II

We needed a partner that was not going to rely on what they have done in the past, but really understand what is possible and see through the barriers. That is what we found with Arimation.Cretex MedicalJeremy Glynn

We needed a partner who would not only meet our requirements but push us to think bigger — delivering automation that prepares us for future growth. We found that partner in Arimation.Precision DiagnosticsRichard Thomas, Chief Scientific Officer

It was really helpful to have more of a collaborative experience as opposed to us prescribing what we wanted. Arimation had a lot of expertise in that area.PhilipsMegan Friedlander, Senior R&D Engineer, Coronary IGT
