Custom factory automation, robotics and test system integrator
Progressive Machine and Design builds turnkey automation and test equipment, with a controls stack spanning Rockwell/Allen-Bradley Studio 5000, Siemens TIA Portal and Omron Sysmac alongside Fanuc, ABB and KUKA robots and Cognex/Keyence vision. That multi-vendor PLC and robot coverage signals a shop built to match each client's plant standard. Hiring is senior-weighted and engineering-dominated but decelerating, while posts point to schedule pressure and a new service department.
