Industries We Serve
Automation Engineered for the Demands of Your Industry
Every industry presents a different combination of products, processes, production environments, and operational challenges. Kaufman Engineered Systems designs and integrates custom automation around those real-world requirements—helping manufacturers increase productivity, improve safety, protect product quality, and keep materials moving reliably.
From robotic picking, packing, and palletizing to conveying, material handling, stretch wrapping, and specialized automation, we engineer each system to perform as part of your complete operation.

Solutions Tailored to Various Industries
Building materials can be heavy, oversized, abrasive, unstable, or difficult to handle consistently. Kaufman develops robust automation for products such as insulation, roofing materials, panels, boards, flooring, bags, bundles, sheets, and other construction-related products.
Our systems are engineered around the realities of demanding production environments, including high payloads, unusual product dimensions, dust and debris, load stability, equipment durability, and the need to keep substantial materials moving safely and efficiently.
Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG)
Consumer packaged goods encompass an enormous range of products, package styles, production rates, and retail requirements. Kaufman designs flexible automation for household products, personal care and beauty products, cleaning supplies, pet care products, and other packaged goods destined for consumers and retailers.
We engineer systems to accommodate changing SKUs, varied package formats, high production demands, product protection, precise case packing, pallet pattern requirements, and the flexibility manufacturers need as products and packaging evolve.
Food & Beverage
Food and beverage manufacturers operate in fast-moving production environments where consistent handling, reliable throughput, product protection, and clean system design are essential. Kaufman provides automation for packaged foods, frozen foods, bakery products, dairy products, snacks, beverages, wine, spirits, and a wide variety of primary and secondary packages.
Our engineers consider package integrity, sanitation requirements, temperature and moisture conditions, product and flavor changeovers, production variability, and the coordination required to maintain efficient flow across the line.
Glass
Glass products require controlled handling from the first point of contact through final load preparation. Bottles, jars, containers, and other glass products may be fragile, unstable, heavy, or susceptible to damage from impact, pressure, or inconsistent movement.
Kaufman designs automation that supports gentle product handling, controlled acceleration and deceleration, dependable container spacing and orientation, stable case and pallet patterns, and carefully coordinated product flow. Every system is engineered to protect the product while maintaining the speed and consistency required for production.
Paper & Tissue
Paper and tissue products are often lightweight, compressible, flexible, and produced at demanding line rates. Tissue, towel, napkin, converted paper products, cartons, rolls, cases, and bundles can each present distinct challenges for product control, compression, gripping, stacking, and load stability.
Kaufman develops automation that maintains control of these products without unnecessary damage or deformation. Our solutions can support packing, bundling, palletizing, conveying, load handling, and stretch wrapping while accounting for product variability and high-speed production.
Pharmaceutical & Healthcare
Pharmaceutical and healthcare products demand consistent handling, product protection, repeatable performance, and carefully controlled processes. Kaufman develops automation for pharmaceutical products, medical and healthcare items, personal health products, cases, cartons, trays, containers, and other packaged goods.
Our engineers evaluate cleanliness requirements, product and package integrity, traceability needs, process consistency, changeover, operator interaction, and integration with inspection, coding, labeling, or other line equipment. Each system is designed around the customer’s application and applicable production requirements.
Plastics
Plastic products range from lightweight bottles and closures to rigid containers, molded components, panels, sheets, and large industrial parts. Their weight, surface characteristics, flexibility, shape, and dimensional consistency can all affect how they are conveyed, gripped, oriented, packed, and palletized.
Kaufman engineers automation around those characteristics, using application-specific product handling, robotic tooling, conveying, accumulation, packing, palletizing, and load-handling solutions to maintain control while supporting efficient production.
Don't See Your Industry Listed?
Not every manufacturing operation fits neatly into a predefined category—and neither do the automation systems we build.
Kaufman develops custom solutions around your product, process, production requirements, facility constraints, and long-term operational goals. If your application involves picking, packing, palletizing, depalletizing, conveying, stretch wrapping, load handling, product manipulation, or another complex production challenge, our engineering team is ready to help determine what is possible.
Your industry may not appear in the list above, but your automation challenge may be exactly the kind of problem we are built to solve.
Solutions Spanning the Production Line
Although the products and production demands differ from one industry to another, the need for well-integrated automation remains the same. Kaufman brings robotics, material handling, controls, and systems engineering together to create solutions that work as one coordinated operation.
Our offerings include:
- Robotic Picking and Product Handling:
Reliable automation starts with gaining control of the product. We develop robotic handling solutions for products that vary in size, weight, shape, orientation, stability, and surface characteristics. - Robotic Packing and Packaging Automation:
Kaufman systems can load products into cases, cartons, trays, totes, crates, and other secondary packaging while supporting required counts, orientations, pack patterns, and product protection. - Palletizing and Depalletizing:
We engineer robotic palletizing/depalletizing systems based on product characteristics, production rates, pallet patterns, load stability, facility layout, and downstream requirements. - Conveying and Material Handling:
Conveyors, transfers, accumulation, product control, and load movement are engineered to maintain consistent flow between operations and keep the entire system operating efficiently. - Stretch Wrapping and Load Securement:
Our stretch wrapping systems help create stable, secure loads for storage and transportation while supporting throughput, film performance, load containment, and integration with surrounding equipment. - Custom Automation:
When an application requires more than a standard handling or packaging solution, we develop specialized equipment and processes around specific production challenges.
