Industrial automation integration

Leverage custom automation that gets finished and maintained.

Levra Automation helps manufacturing facilities leverage custom automation solutions—cells, stations, and retrofits—that remove bottlenecks, increase throughput, reduce labor content, and improve quality without requiring a massive in-house automation team.

Who: 50–300 employee manufacturers without big automation teams.
Where: Western U.S. – Tahoe base, SLC & SoCal network.

An engineering-first partner helping plants leverage custom automation in packaging, assembly, and vision-guided work.

Typical outcomes
  • Fewer touches per part and smoother flow.
  • Higher effective throughput without adding headcount.
  • More consistent quality with fewer misses and rework loops.
What we bring
  • Mechanical design (frames, fixtures, guards).
  • Controls & HMIs (PLC or embedded) plus Fanuc robots.
  • Vision, lighting, and practical data capture.
What we do

Custom automation around the work you already do

We don’t start from a catalog—we start from your station: the parts, people, bottlenecks, and safety constraints that exist today. Then we design custom automation that fits into that reality instead of fighting it.

Packaging & bagging automation

Where good parts slow down. We design systems that count, stack, bag, and present product so operators and downstream equipment can keep up.

  • Counting & stacking for variable SKUs.
  • Bagging/sealing around manual or semi-auto loading.
  • Conveyors with quality hold and accumulation.

Vision-guided systems

Cameras and lighting that don’t just take pictures—they tell the machine what to do: where to cut, what to reject, and what to log.

  • Vision-guided cut positions and alignment.
  • Pass/fail and measurement to your PLC.
  • Image + metadata logging for QC and traceability.

Fixtures, motion & controls

Not everything needs a full line. One solid, well-designed station can remove the worst friction from your process.

  • 8020 frames, fixtures, nests, and guards.
  • Single/multi-axis motion for cut/place/join.
  • Control panels with clear, labeled wiring.
Why Levra

A practical partner to help you leverage automation—without the overhead

Good automation doesn’t just run—it’s understood by the people who have to live with it. We design for maintainability, clarity, and real-world use on your floor so your team can own the system long after go-live.

  • Full-stack solo integrator. One owner responsible end-to-end: mechanical, controls, vision, and commissioning.
  • Proof before big spend. Benches, demos, and paid discovery so you see the approach on your parts before committing to a full build.
  • Operator-centered HMIs. Interfaces and safety built around the operators who run the station every shift.
  • Documentation as a deliverable. Prints, I/O maps, backups, and checklists tied to final acceptance—not as an afterthought.
Good fit

Where we tend to add the most value

We’re at our best when there’s a clear process, real pain on the floor, and leadership that wants practical, incremental wins—not science projects.

  • Packaging, thermoforming, or assembly cells where operators are clearly the bottleneck.
  • Existing machines that need better handling, counting, or inspection around them.
  • Teams that care about documentation, training, and owning the equipment long-term.
Process

From “we should automate this” to a running cell

A simple, transparent workflow so you always know what happens next and what you’re paying for.

1. Discovery

Walk the process, talk with operators and engineering, and capture constraints, volumes, and goals.

2. Paid Discovery (when needed)

Short engagement to define the spec, options, budget, and acceptance criteria. De-risks the build for both sides.

3. Design & build

Mechanical, controls, and vision designed as a single system. We build and debug using your parts.

4. FAT & SAT

Factory and site acceptance tests against agreed cycle time, quality, uptime, and safety criteria.

5. Handover & support

Documentation, backups, training, and optional support/“hour pack” for tweaks and improvements.

Next step

Walk through a process together

Share a line, cell, or station that isn’t where you want it. We’ll map the current state, outline options, and be realistic about where automation will (and won’t) pay off.
