Industrial robots do more than make you more productive. They transform physically demanding, repetitive tasks into safer, higher-value roles. This allows employees to be upskilled and interact with automation, rather than perform manual labor.

Your operation has unique workflows, challenges, and goals. So that’s why the right robotic solution should be built around the people who rely on it and work alongside it every day.

At CSR, our reputation is our greatest asset. In our experience, great automation projects begin with a strong relationship. This means clear communication, no surprises, and working side-by-side with you to deliver a reliable, high-performing robotic system.

We don’t install equipment and walk away. As a trusted partner who works as an extension of your team, CSR is invested in your long-term success.

While others may only specialize in palletizing, case packing, or material removal, CSR can do all of that–and more. Whether it’s recovering stalled robotic systems or engineering custom solutions for some of the nation’s largest corporations, CSR has a reputation for delivering results for challenging applications.

Our broad industry experience allows us to design custom robotic solutions that scale with you and adapt to changing demands over time.

We’re a trusted partner for companies of all sizes across the United States. These are just a few of the many robotics projects we’ve completed.

RC Industries, based in Elkhart, IN, is a custom metal fabrication company specializing in complex fabricated components, precision sheet metal manufacturing, and durable truck toolboxes.

RC needed to automate a labor-intensive sanding process to reduce reliance on manual labor across three shifts. Their goals included improving finishing consistency, reducing operator fatigue, addressing labor shortages, and increasing efficiency in a high-mix manufacturing environment.

CSR partnered with the University of Notre Dame’s iNDustry Labs to create a custom material removal robot that fully automates the sanding process.

Transforming Work, Not Replacing People

“The people running the robotic cell today used to spend all day sanding parts by hand. Now they’re breathing cleaner air, their clothes, their hair—everything is cleaner. They’re no longer holding a vibrating sander for eight hours a day or going home with numbness in their hands.

“Instead, they’re controlling an advanced manufacturing tool, and they just seem happier. They’re smiling. They’re proud and excited to run this piece of equipment, and I think that’s going to show up in less turnover, better attendance, better health—and hopefully have a positive impact on their lives personally.

“At RC, robotics never replaces a person. We upskill our employees, and if someone is no longer needed in one area, we find another place for them in the shop. Robotics isn’t a threat to employment here—it creates opportunities.

“Working with CSR has been fantastic. I tell people I want to send all of our integrators there to train on how to respond to customer challenges. We’d like to work with them again on the next project, and I would strongly recommend CSR as an integrator—you won’t regret it.”

Stalled Robot Now Palletizes Better Than Ever

“I just got done doing a project with another OEM using an existing robot in-house. After about three months, the robot still did not work the way it did before. Complete Solution Robotics was recommended to my organization and me to come in and help resolve all issues.

“With the system not working well after the original project, we essentially were losing ground for three months straight. Mike saw there was an urgency, even though he had no ties to the original project, and immediately worked out a way to get out to us on the East Coast, and was here within a week. After giving him our objectives and project background, within three days, he had the robot palletizing better than it ever had before! The amount of time, dedication, and customer service was outstanding.

“He did great explaining what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. His pricing is extremely reasonable. He is great to work with, very empathetic, and brought an energy with him that operators loved. The operators were excited about working on the system again, and production has been solid ever since. He did more in those three days than the other OEM did in three months! I look forward to working with Complete Solution Robotics and Mike again on our future projects and would recommend him in a heartbeat!”

Michael DiDomenico – Ultra Dairy, a Byrne Dairy company

Rescued Complex Glass Polishing Project On-Time and On-Budget

“Mike was recommended to us by a robotics component supplier that I had spoken to. We hired him to integrate a glass polishing process of ours that another integrator had attempted and was unable to accomplish. So when Mike stepped in, we were already six months past our deadline. Our process is not a ‘typical’ robotic application in that it requires the robot to ‘feel’ the pressure between the tool and the part.

“Mike has a great relationship with FANUC since he worked for them and left on good terms and is totally familiar with FANUC’s products. He specified and ordered the robot and all the components to integrate it into our process. He designed and built the control circuitry and safety interface specifically for our application. Once everything was in our shop, he came in and wired it up and programmed and tested the process.

“From start to finish it only took two months to get us into production, which to me seemed like an amazingly short time. And he did so within the budget he had set from the beginning. In all the years we’ve been in business, I have never worked with a more hard-working, honest and knowledgeable person and it is my pleasure to recommend him to anyone interested in using his services. He says he loves what he does, and it shows.”

Jerry Fein – Vitraform

Custom Solution Improves Efficiency, Solves Labor Issues

“One of the things we liked about RMH was the one-stop shop. We tell a joke, most people buy a robot–we bought seven. We didn’t really know what we were getting into, but the partnership we have with RMH—we know these guys, we have a relationship with them, and we trust them. The system has been great, and we’ve already seen some benefits. We’ve been able to be a stronger force in the marketplace, been able to reduce our lead times, and our shipping has gone up as well. It’s just been a great resource for us.

“Here at Hytrol, we’ve been blessed in seeing our business grow over the last 3-4 years. One of the current issues we have, we live in a county where the unemployment rate is below 3%, so it’s a struggle to find employees. Part of the way we wanted to tackle that was through automation. Hytrol is all about good relationships—we’ve had such a long relationship with RMH. We trusted them and knew they could do what we wanted. The experience overall has been great.”

Todd McClung – Hytrol Conveyor Company

Setting Expectations and Exceeding Them

“Mike’s been very helpful and upfront with what the capabilities are, and very upfront with what (CSR) believes they can do for us. And to this point, they’ve met those. We’re very, very pleased and impressed with what we see.”

Kerry Roberts – Heritage Foods

Instrumental for a Successful Tooling Launch

“Complete Solution Robotics was requested to assist VEHTEK with a successful tooling launch that contained cutting-edge FANUC vision technology. Mike Olson’s knowledgeable, professional, hands-on expertise was instrumental in the success of our launch. Mike was invited back to our facility for process improvements, as well as being responsible for training our staff on this unique vision system. I would definitely recommend his experienced professional services to anyone.”

Andy Getzy – Cosma International
