Nextomation

Automated Assembly Lines Designed Around Your Product, Process and Production Goals

Custom Assembly Line Design & Build for Manufacturers

From concept to fully operational production systems

Planning an assembly line is not just an engineering task — it’s a critical investment decision impacting throughput, quality and flexibility.

At Nextomation, we support you from concept and feasibility, helping you define the right approach and reduce risk before committing CAPEX.

We then design and deliver automated assembly lines and testing systems — integrating robotics, vision and traceability to ensure stable, scalable and reliable production with full lifecycle support.

/ key benefits

Why invest in manufacturing assembly lines with Nextomation

/ what we do

End-to-end automated assembly line solutions

We design, build and optimise automated assembly lines — 
from early concept definition to full production readiness and long-term system development.

We validate your idea and define a viable production concept.

We identify risks and select the optimal automation approach.

We design all system components tailored to your process.

Machines & Automated Lines

We build and integrate all elements into one cohesive system.

We ensure smooth start-up and stable production performance.

We support, optimise and evolve your system over time.

/ our approach

Engineering-driven approach to assembly line design

We start before RFQ by helping you define the right production concept.

Define Requirements

Define production requirements and constraints.

Analyse Risks

Analyse risks and process limitations

Evaluate Automation

Evaluate automation scenarios

Concept & Technology

Optimise Flow

Optimise layout and production flow

Robotics & Handling Systems

Planning a new automated assembly line?

Define the right concept before you invest.
/ assembly line types

Flexible, semi-automated or fully automated assembly lines

The right solution is not always the most automated, but the most effective. Automation should serve the process, not define it.

Semi-Automated Characteristics

Designed to combine process stability with the flexibility needed for changing production conditions.

Flexibility 60%
Automation Level 65%
Throughput 75%

/ challenges

Common challenges in manufacturing assembly line projects

Building an assembly line is a complex decision with significant impact on cost, risk and long-term performance.
We address these challenges through engineering, not assumptions. These challenges often define the success or failure of the entire investment.

/ case studies

Proven in real production environments

We design and deliver assembly and testing lines for complex, high-precision products across industries – from multi-variant systems to safety-critical and fully traceable production processes.

Assembly line development process

Use a clear and attention-grabbing short paragraph to engage your audience and draw them into reading the rest of your content.

01

Concept & feasibility

We define the production concept, analyse manufacturability and assess risks before key investment decisions are made.

02

Engineering & design

We develop mechanical, electrical and software solutions tailored to your product and process needs.

03

Production & integration

We manufacture and integrate all system components into one cohesive and fully functional production line.

04

Installation & commissioning

We install the system on-site and ensure it operates according to defined performance parameters.

05

Ramp-up & optimisation

We stabilise production, fine-tune processes and help achieve target throughput and quality levels.

06

Service & lifecycle support

We support your system long-term through maintenance, upgrades, optimisation and continuous development.

/ why Nextomation

A responsible partner for complex and high-risk assembly line projects

We don’t just deliver systems – we take responsibility for making them work in real production conditions.

We specialise in demanding automation challenges where process knowledge and engineering depth are critical.

We take responsibility for the full system – from concept to stable production and long-term performance.

We openly identify and communicate risks early, helping you make informed decisions before committing CAPEX.

We support you before, during and after implementation – acting as a decision partner, not just a supplier.

Our project managers have engineering backgrounds, enabling real problem-solving at process and technology level.

We combine robotics, vision systems, testing and software into one cohesive and reliable production system.

/ lifecycle support

Beyond delivery – we support your production long-term

An assembly line does not end at commissioning. Its real value is defined by how it performs over time. At Nextomation, we support your production systems throughout their entire lifecycle, ensuring stability, continuous improvement and long-term performance.

Remote diagnostics and on-site support to minimise downtime and production losses.

Adapting your system to new products, requirements and technologies without rebuilding from scratch.

Continuous improvement of cycle time, efficiency and overall production performance.

Advanced data monitoring and diagnostics to identify issues and optimise system behaviour.

Stabilising production and supporting your team in reaching target throughput and quality levels.

/ capabilities

In-house machining park

Our own machining park allows us to manufacture critical components in-house, ensuring precision, flexibility and faster project execution.

This gives us full control over key elements of the assembly line and ensures consistency across the entire system.

  • Advanced CNC machining (3- and 5-axis)
  • In-house production of complex mechanical components
  • Immediate response to design changes
  • Full control over quality and tolerances
  • Reduced dependency on external suppliers
