A new systems integrator established by a consortium of automation specialists is to next month launch full turnkey solutions for warehouses, e-commerce, manufacturing and logistics assignments.
4Automation, which will enter the warehouse automation market in early August, said it aims to bring a fresh and modern approach to conveyor and automated materials handling projects.
Bryn Roberts, managing director, 4Automation, said: “The unprecedented growth in e-commerce, fast-tracked by Covid-19, is creating a warehouse automation boom. The need to develop safer workplaces by reducing interactions among workers, together with the increasing demands on the supply chain, are seeing companies accelerating the timelines for automating their warehouses. We see this therefore as the perfect time to concentrate our assets in targeting large automation projects and providing scalable turnkey solutions.
“As a single integrated integrator, 4Automation will take away the headache of tendering multi-contractor bids and involvement in time-consuming cost analysis and contract negotiations. Having confidence in a one-stop, full-service partner, companies can reduce costs and errors with their projects and benefit from an efficient use of resources to deliver a fully integrated solution.”
In addition to Roberts, 4Automation’s senior management team consists of Zak Jeavons, operations director; Jamie McGinn, sales director; and Shaun Graham, marketing director.
