Complex to engineer. Simple to operate.
KNEO Automation delivers complete turnkey automation solutions — engineered to handle your most complex requirements while remaining simple to operate and maintain. From system design to final handover, we build customised automation cells that just work.
Overview
Automation has become versatile enough to fit your process.
Advances in robotics and software have made automation more versatile, reliable and easier to upgrade than ever before. That flexibility allows us to build robotic handling systems across a wide range of applications — boosting productivity and opening new opportunities for your business.
The alternative — buying a standard machine and reshaping your process around it — is usually where automation projects quietly lose their business case.
One partner, endless possibilities — tailored automation built around your operation, with a single commercial agreement and a single point of accountability.

Automated processes
Our expertise spans a broad range.
01
Materials Handling
Transfer, buffering, orientation and transport between operations.
02
Machine Tending
Load and unload CNC, press, moulding and other production machines.
03
Picking, Packing & Palletizing
End-of-line handling from single-pick to full-layer palletizing patterns.
04
Assembly
Component feeding, joining, fastening and in-process verification.
05
Vision Inspection
Presence, orientation, dimensional and surface inspection in-cycle.
06
Cutting, Grinding, Deburring & Polishing
Robotic mechanical finishing with force control where required.
07
Gluing, Sealing & Spraying
Adhesive and material application with consistent bead and coverage.
08
Customised Processes
If it can be defined, sequenced and measured, it can usually be automated.
Delivery
How a turnkey project runs.
01
Process study & concept
Cycle-time targets, part variants, layout constraints, safety category and a costed concept before commitment.
02
Detailed design
Mechanical design, gripper and fixture engineering, ePlan schematics, I/O lists and safety architecture.
03
Build & FAT
Cell assembly, panel wiring and functional acceptance testing against the agreed specification.
04
Virtual commissioning
Robot paths, interlocks and sequences validated against a digital twin — collisions resolved in software.
05
Installation & SAT
Site installation, I/O validation, safety testing, dry cycles and production trials.
06
Handover & support
Operator and maintenance training, complete documentation and an agreed ongoing support arrangement.
Benefits
Why turnkey rather than piecemeal.
Single accountability
One contract, one team. Nobody can point at another supplier when the cell does not hit rate.
Faster ramp-up
Mechanical, electrical and software decisions made together instead of negotiated between vendors.
Built to be upgraded
Modern robotics and software make later re-tooling for a new product far less disruptive.
Simple to operate
Complexity is absorbed in engineering, not passed to the operator on the shift.
