Forged Path Automation - End-to-end Process Automation Services
End-to-End Automation Services — From Concept to Long-Term Support
Forged Path Automation provides full-service, turnkey automation services designed to support every phase of your robotic automation journey. Unlike traditional integrators who focus on equipment delivery alone, we take ownership of the entire process — from early concept and engineering through installation, training, and ongoing support.
Our services are built around one goal: delivering automation that works in the real world, not just on paper.

Process Engineering and System Design
Automation starts with the process — not the robot.
Our team begins every project with deep process engineering to understand your operation, constraints, and performance goals. We design systems that improve efficiency, reduce waste, and accommodate real-world variability.
Services include:
- Process evaluation and feasibility analysis
- Cycle time and throughput optimization
- Automation strategy for high-mix and high-volume environments
- Risk identification and mitigation
Custom Tooling and Fixture Development
Built for your process. Built to last.
Automation only performs as well as the tooling behind it. We design and fabricate custom tooling and fixtures that ensure precision, repeatability, and long-term reliability — even in demanding applications.
Services include:
- Custom end effectors/end-of-arm tooling (EOAT)
- Simplified tooling design allowing the machine to account for part variation
- Tooling validation and refinement in real conditions
Robotic Cell Build, Integration and Installation
One team. One accountable partner.
We manage the complete build and integration of robotic cells, coordinating hardware, controls, and safety systems into a seamless solution. Installation is handled by the same team that designed the system — ensuring continuity and accountability.
Services include:
- Robotic cell assembly and integration
- On-site installation and programming
- Safety systems and compliance support

ARPP Programming, Simulation and Optimization
Faster deployment. Smarter systems.
Through advanced programming and simulation tools — including our partnership with Roboticom — we reduce programming time, improve accuracy, and accelerate system deployment.
Services include:
- Offline programming and robotic simulation
- Path planning and cycle time optimization
- Process refinement for high-mix applications
Training, Documentation and Knowledge Transfer
Automation your team can confidently run.
We don’t just install systems — we make sure your team understands them. Training and documentation are built into every project so operators, engineers, and maintenance teams are set up for success.
Services include:
- Operator and maintenance training
- Clear documentation and SOPs
- Hands-on system walkthroughs

Ongoing Support and Troubleshooting
We stay involved — long after installation.
Forged Path Automation is committed to long-term partnerships. We provide responsive, transparent support to keep your systems running efficiently without unnecessary service costs or finger-pointing.
Services include:
- Remote and on-site troubleshooting
- Process optimization and updates
- Ongoing training and system improvements

Why Our Services Are Different
Turnkey doesn’t stop at installation.
What sets FPA apart is ownership. We don’t hand off projects between departments or vendors. The same experienced engineers stay involved from concept through support — delivering speed, quality, and accountability.
- One integrated team
- Transparent pricing
- Flexible solutions for high-mix and high-volume manufacturing
- Direct access to decision-makers
