Robotics & Automation

Both, depending on what the application requires. Stallion engineers the complete production system in-house — the process design, the line layout, the cycle-time engineering, the safety and the controls. The industrial robots themselves are sourced from leading global robot manufacturers, selected for the specific application. The gantry systems, end-of-arm tooling and integration engineering are designed by Stallion. The customer receives a single point of accountability for the entire line.

Both. Many of Stallion's automation engagements begin with re-engineering an existing customer line — consolidating operations, removing bottlenecks and introducing automation in stages. Other engagements are greenfield, where Stallion designs the production line from a blank floor plan. Brownfield automation is often the more demanding engineering challenge, and Stallion has deep experience in both.

Stallion's automation portfolio integrates directly with the company's CNC machine range, foundry equipment and additive manufacturing portfolio. A single customer engagement can include CNC machines, casting equipment, an industrial 3D printer and a robotic loading cell — all engineered, supplied and supported by Stallion as one integrated system. This is the defining advantage of working with a complete engineering partner rather than separate equipment suppliers.

Industry 5.0 is a manufacturing framework introduced by the European Commission that builds on the automation focus of Industry 4.0 by adding human-centric, sustainable and resilient elements — AI on the shop floor, robotics integrated into machining lines, connected and data-aware production systems. For Stallion, Industry 5.0 is the operating principle that guides every automation engagement: designing systems that not only run themselves, but are intelligent enough to adapt, self-diagnose and continuously improve. The mandate is led by Stallion's Joint Director, who holds an MS in Robotics from the University of Sheffield.
