Services

At Automation Advisors, we help manufacturers and investors make smarter automation decisions before they commit to expensive systems or integrations. Every service we offer is designed to provide clarity, reduce risk, and identify high-ROI opportunities that make real operational and financial impact.

Automation Assessments

A detailed, independent review of your operation to uncover automation opportunities that actually make sense. We combine industrial experience, ROI analysis, and AI-aware planning to give you a clear picture—without the sales pitch.

Who It’s For:

Manufacturers exploring automation
Operations leaders evaluating efficiency gains
Companies unsure if automation is worth it
Engineering teams needing a second opinion

What’s Included:

Concept layout or workflow sketch
Budget range (based on real-world solutions)
ROI projection based on labor/time saved
Labor impact analysis (retraining, reduction, or repurposing)
High-level tech recommendations (robots, sensors, AI systems, etc.)
Next-step guidance or integrator handoff plan

Outcome:
You’ll receive a customized report—typically 6–10 pages—that breaks down what automation solutions are possible, what they’ll cost, how they’ll impact your labor, and how quickly you’ll see a return.
It’s everything you need to evaluate a project before requesting quotes or committing internal resources.
