The Growing Importance of Customized Automation

In today’s fast-paced economy, businesses across all industries are under pressure to optimize their operations and stay ahead of the competition. That’s where customized automation can help. Unlike one-size-fits-all systems, tailored solutions can be designed to tackle the unique problems each industry faces—whether it’s managing complex wastewater processes, streamlining manufacturing lines, or keeping municipal utilities up and running. With the right automation and customization in place, businesses can reduce errors, boost productivity, and position themselves for long-term growth. For industry leaders, it’s not just about keeping up; it’s about setting the pace. By investing in systems built specifically for their needs, companies can unlock new levels of efficiency, adaptability, and scalability, allowing them to pivot easily when technology and market changes arise. In an environment where agility and innovation are essential, customization in automation is the key to staying competitive and driving sustainable growth.

Why Custom Automation is Key to Success

While useful in some situations, standard automation systems often fail to meet specific industrial demands. OSCO Controls, however, provides customized automation solutions tailored to the unique requirements of various sectors, including oil & gas, water treatment, material handling, and automotive manufacturing. For example, oil & gas operators require advanced systems capable of withstanding extreme field conditions, while material handling facilities may need precise integration with complex equipment. Our tailored solutions solve immediate operational challenges and deliver the scalability that today’s businesses require.

Custom automation allows businesses to optimize workflows, minimize errors, and comply with industry regulations while driving cost savings and boosting productivity. Now, let’s explore how OSCO Controls has successfully provided customized solutions to a variety of industries.

Wastewater Management Services: Automated Control System with Remote Monitoring

Wastewater management systems can face a variety of challenges, resulting in operational inefficiencies. Decentralized workflows throughout a facility can make managing, monitoring, and controlling operations difficult. And attempting to coordinate these complex systems manually increases the risk of service disruptions and non-compliance with industry best practices and regulations.

Our Solution: To streamline our client’s process, we developed a customized automation solution that introduced advanced controls and remote monitoring capabilities. Now, the client can monitor facility-wide operations in real time and respond proactively to potential problems.

This solution enabled the client to modernize and streamline their workflows while ensuring regulatory compliance and enhancing system performance. With the addition of cloud-based monitoring, the client has gained access to important data, allowing them to resolve issues faster, resulting in reduced downtime and improved service reliability.

Manufacturing: Custom Controls Integration for AGV Rack Retrieval and Storage

In modern manufacturing and warehousing, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are crucial for retrieving and storing materials and inventory. However, many AGV systems face integration hurdles, leading to product retrieval and storage delays. Inefficient systems often require manual intervention, resulting in additional bottlenecks and production issues.  

Our Solution: To improve efficiency for one of our manufacturing clients, we designed and implemented a custom AGV control integration system, enabling precise rack retrieval and storage automation. This complex integration model streamlined operations for multiple systems and reduced reliance on manual workflows.

This centralized and cohesive solution allowed the client to reduce retrieval times, track inventory movement, and improve workflow accuracy. As a result, productivity increased, and the system now operates autonomously 98% of the time. This custom automation solution provides greater flexibility and scalability, positioning the company for future growth.

Metal Processing: Turnkey Control Systems Integration  

Metal sorting is an essential yet complex task in industries that deal with metal processing and recycling. A custom automation solution can help these companies avoid sorting errors and reduce downtime.

Our Solution:  OSCO was tasked with delivering a turnkey control system to optimize metal sorting operations for a client operating a new smelting facility. We installed an innovative solution that integrates with their upstream and downstream equipment, requiring minimal human intervention. 

The client reported significantly higher sorting accuracy, reduced downtimes, and increased productivity due to the optimized control system. As a result, they have been able to meet higher production targets with less manual oversight.

Automotive: Automated Park-and-Store System for Residential Car Lift

When you think about industrial automation, a private residence may not be the first application that comes to mind. However, for a homeowner with limited space, the challenge of efficiently storing multiple collectible vehicles called for an innovative solution.

Our Solution: We developed a custom, automated park-and-store system that simplified the parking process, making it easier for the homeowner to store, protect, and access vehicles. This subterranean design maximized space and provided a sleek, modern approach to vehicle storage in a residential setting.
