Industrial robotics integration and automation controls for manufacturing
Gabletek builds custom automation solutions around major robotics platforms (FANUC, ABB, KUKA) and PLC-based control systems. The company is actively hiring across engineering and manufacturing—roughly two-thirds of open roles are technical—suggesting heavy project delivery work. Pain points cluster around commissioning timelines and downtime reduction, which align with their active project list (cold builds, wiring, vision integration, electrical build-out).
Gabletek provides industrial robotics integration and automation control solutions for manufacturing environments. The company specializes in designing and deploying custom automation systems that combine major robotics platforms (FANUC, ABB, KUKA), PLC controllers, vision systems, and electrical infrastructure. Core work includes project-based integration, commissioning of robotic weld lines, vision inspection routines, and electrical build-out of production cells. Based in Troy, Michigan, the company operates across the United States and Canada with a primarily mid-level engineering and manufacturing workforce.
Gabletek integrates solutions around FANUC, ABB, and KUKA robots, supported by PLC controllers, HMI interfaces, and vision systems from vendors like Cognex. They also use RobotStudio for programming and configuration.
Projects center on reducing commissioning timelines and minimizing production downtime. Pain points include cold build schedules, electrical build-out complexity, robotic system integration, and vision system performance—areas where delays directly impact customer production.
