Behind the Build: Meet the Design Team at TFA Solutions
Turning Ideas Into Automation Solutions
Clients often come to us with a goal: increase throughput, reduce downtime, or make an existing process safer. The role of our Design Team is to translate those goals into automation solutions that deliver real results.
Using advanced 3D CAD software, our designers model everything from extruded aluminum frames to custom end-of-arm tooling. This level of accuracy ensures that when it’s time to move into manufacturing and assembly, every component fits and functions as intended. It’s the difference between theory and practice, and it’s where our Design Team excels.
Collaboration Across Disciplines
Automation isn’t built in silos. Our designers work side by side with specialists in mechanical design automation, robotics integration, PLC programming services, and control systems engineering. This collaboration allows us to spot challenges early and engineer solutions that are both creative and cost-effective.
For example, when a project requires both safety integration and vision systems, the Design Team coordinates with controls engineers to ensure the system is not only compliant but also user-friendly. The result is a seamless workflow that moves smoothly from concept to commissioning.
Custom Automation Systems, Built for Real-World Demands
Every project is unique, and that’s why off-the-shelf designs rarely cut it. Our Design Team specializes in creating custom automation systems that match the specific needs of each client. Whether it’s a packaging line with palletizing automation or a multi-station educational platform with robotics integration, the team builds flexibility, reliability, and scalability into every design.
By focusing on end-to-end automation solutions, the team ensures that systems aren’t just functional on day one, they’re built to grow and adapt alongside our clients’ production needs.
Why It Matters
Design is the bridge between vision and reality. Without thoughtful, detail-oriented design work, even the best components and controls won’t perform to their full potential. By investing in strong design upfront, TFA Solutions helps clients avoid costly rework, shorten commissioning timelines, and achieve smoother startups.
For us, design isn’t just about lines on a CAD screen, it’s about laying the groundwork for systems that keep operators safe, maximize uptime, and deliver lasting value.
