Invio Automation :: Automated Systems That Combine Robotics With Advanced Controls, Vision &Material Handling Technologies

Invio Automation is a full-service industrial automation company headquartered in Lansing, Michigan. With more than 80 years of combined automation experience, Invio Automation operates 10 facilities across the United States and employs 530 team members. The company serves over 370 customers in demanding sectors including medical device and life sciences, renewable energy, mobility, logistics and fulfillment, general industrial, and data centers.

Invio Automation specializes in designing, building, and sustaining large-scale automated systems that combine robotics with advanced controls, vision, and material handling technologies. Its robot-based offerings are central to virtually every capability the company provides. Robotic Automation solutions integrate collaborative and industrial robots into custom assembly cells that match precise takt times with speed, consistency, and scalability. These systems frequently incorporate end-of-arm tooling, machine vision, and precision dispensing for tasks such as adhesive application, component placement, and quality inspection.

A major focus area is Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs), including high-payload models capable of moving loads up to 35 tons with omni-directional travel and magnetic guidance. These robotic vehicles are used extensively in logistics, heavy equipment, and manufacturing environments to reduce manual handling and increase throughput. Assembly cells and robotic automation lines handle complex medical device assembly, leak testing, thermal bonding, and web handling applications, all supported by integrated controls engineering and digital factory platforms that enable real-time data collection and predictive maintenance.

Additional robot-centric capabilities include lift assists and secure tooling for ergonomic handling, weld tooling integrated with robotic positioning, and product carriers designed for stable transport through automated lines. Invio Automation also delivers smart meter assembly and calibration systems, industrial filter manufacturing lines, and precision dispensing solutions, all leveraging robotics for repeatability and reduced waste.

The company’s end-to-end approach covers everything from initial concept and simulation through design, in-house build, installation, and ongoing aftermarket service. Its Digital Factory offerings connect robotics and sensors into unified platforms for optimized efficiency. By focusing on high-mix, high-volume, and high-precision environments, Invio Automation helps manufacturers reduce labor dependency, improve safety, and scale production while maintaining strict quality standards.
