Automation Design and Engineering Support

The design and engineering phase is where it all begins when automating complex industrial processes. That’s why Cross Company offers comprehensive support services to help manufacturers take automation ideas from concept to proven, ready-to-deploy solutions.

Cross industrial automation experts work directly with your team to define requirements, evaluate feasibility, and design solutions able to meet technical and operational goals. Whether you need help developing a detailed bill of materials (BOM), validating new automation concepts, or identifying the right system components, our team provides the expertise, experience, and insight necessary to confidently move forward with automation.

Turning Production Challenges Into Solutions

Every manufacturing process has its own demands, so much of automation system design isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Factors like precision, speed, environment, budget, and scalability have to be taken into account. At Cross, we take the time to understand those factors and tailor our support services accordingly.

By combining our knowledge of mechanical, pneumatic, and electronic systems the team at Cross is able to deliver complete design and engineering support for even the most complex projects. This makes for systems that are better integrated, more reliable, and ready day one.

From motion control to robotics to pneumatic systems, we work with you to ensure that every component fits together perfectly. And that your solution is designed for both performance and scalability

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
