What We Deliver
Gardner Controls provides automation services ranging from focused robotic work cell integrations to coordinated multi-system programs. Below is how we break down the work — and what you can expect.
AUTOMATION HEALTH ASSESSMENTS & ADVISORY
DEFINE BEFORE YOU DEPLOY
Expanding capacity but not sure where automation fits? Already have systems that underperform but aren’t sure why?
Many successful automation projects begin with honest evaluation before any capital is committed. We work alongside your team to clarify scope, validate assumptions, and define practical approaches — so you’re investing in the right solution, not just the fastest one.
• Automation system evaluations
• Bottleneck and capacity analysis
• Concept layout development
• Budgetary project modeling
• Feasibility assessment
The outcome: a clear, defensible path forward before a single PO is issued.
CONTROLS ARCHITECTURE
SCALABLE CONTROLS INFRASTRUCTURE
A strong controls foundation is the difference between a system that works at startup and one that still works and can be expanded years later.
• PLC programming and logic development
• HMI configuration
• System communication architecture
• Equipment integration
• Debug and startup support
We design controls with your maintenance team in mind. Clean logic, documented code, and architecture that doesn’t require a phone call to us every time something needs to change.
ROBOTIC WORK CELL INTEGRATION
FOCUSED AND ENGINEERED FOR EXPANSION
We design and integrate robotic work cells that deliver reliable performance today while building in the flexibility for tomorrow’s requirements.
• Material handling cell development
• PLC and system integration
• Safety architecture configuration
• Vision-guided applications
• Commissioning and production ramp support
Every cell is engineered with maintainability, scalability, and operational clarity in mind — because a work cell that only runs when the integrator is on-site isn’t a solution.
PROJECT LEADERSHIP
ONE POINT OF CONTACT. FULL VISIBILITY.
Automation projects often involve multiple vendors, competing timelines, and stakeholders who don’t always speak the same language. That’s where projects go sideways — and it’s exactly where we step in.
• Defined scope documentation
• Vendor bid coordination
• Timeline and milestone tracking
• Communication alignment across teams
• Production ramp validation
Many of our partnerships begin with a single focused project that expands naturally into broader system development over time. That repeat work is the best proof that the first project went well.

DESIGNED FOR LONG-TERM GROWTH
We intentionally structure early projects with future expansion in mind — ensuring controls architecture, safety strategy, and layout decisions support scalable growth.
