Problems Worth Solving.
Solutions Built to Last.
Industrial automation case studies from Applied Motion Systems — engineering solutions for complex manufacturing challenges across glass, paper, aerospace, wood products, and renewable energy.
FEATURED CASE STUDY
Veneer Stacker Automation
Applied Motion Systems was engaged to retrofit a veneer placement system at an engineered lumber facility, replacing pneumatic actuators with Iris Dynamics ORCA smart linear motors. The result was a step change in motion consistency, controllability, and integration with the plant’s existing Rockwell ControlLogix infrastructure.
Industrial Automation Case Studies Across Industries and Applications
PAPER CONVERTING
16-Section Paper Machine Drive System Replaced Without Extended Downtime
AMS replaced a full paper machine drive system across 16 sections while minimizing production downtime — a complex retrofit requiring precise coordination across the entire drive system architecture.
GLASS CONTAINER
Adaptive Mold Cooling and Plant SCADA for a Glass Container Manufacturer
AMS designed and deployed an adaptive mold cooling system with full plant SCADA integration, giving operators real-time visibility and control across the production floor.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Electrical Power System for Oscilla Power’s TRITON-C Wave Energy Converter
AMS engineered the electrical power system for an ocean-based wave energy converter — one of the more unusual applications in our portfolio and a testament to our engineering range.
RECREATION
Siemens Automation and Controls System for a Deep-Water Standing Wave Pool
A first-of-its-kind deep-water standing wave pool needed to run reliably across a 100-day season. AMS engineered the Siemens automation and controls system that made it possible.
