Custom factory automation and test systems for precision manufacturing
PMD Automation designs and builds custom factory automation systems and test equipment for advanced manufacturers. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward industrial control systems (Rockwell, Siemens, Fanuc, ABB, Kuka) paired with web-based HMI and configuration tools (ASP.NET MVC, C#, SQL Server), indicating a hybrid business model: hardware-centric custom builds with embedded software for machine vision, motion control, and operator interfaces. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 14 open engineering roles across mid and senior levels, while concurrent focus on building a new service organization and expanding tool-room capacity signals a shift from pure project delivery toward recurring service revenue.
PMD Automation provides custom factory automation solutions, test systems, and build-to-print contract manufacturing to global clients in life sciences, automotive, electronics, and related precision industries. Based in Victor, New York, the company employs 201–500 people and operates as a full-service integrator: mechanical design and CAD, CNC machining, robotic system integration, machine vision and inspection, and controls programming. The business model centers on turnkey custom systems tailored to client specifications, with recent strategic expansion into a dedicated service organization to support installed base maintenance and troubleshooting.
Core stack: ASP.NET MVC, C#, SQL Server for HMI and configuration tools; Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Fanuc, ABB, Kuka for motion control and PLC platforms; Cognex and Keyence for machine vision; SolidWorks and AutoCAD for mechanical design.
Active projects: custom build-to-print manufacturing jobs, installation of custom automation systems, building a new service organization, expanding toolroom capacity, and updating internal cost estimation libraries for quoting.
Progressive Machine and Design's technology stack, projects, and hiring signals are inferred from public hiring and company data — career pages, public listings, and company web presence — then clustered and de-duplicated. Figures are estimates that refresh over time. Read our full methodology →
