As companies continue to focus their efforts on establishing efficient, effective distribution and delivery processes, automation solutions are growing in demand across all industries.  

Automation solutions, or the use of robotics and automated components within workflows, streamline the process of storing and retrieving products, thus increasing speed, safety and productivity.  

While the use of automation is growing across all sectors, industrial facilities are consistently incorporating automation within their warehouses.  

Our Architecture + Engineering (A+E) team of design experts have played a significant role in successfully designing for automation within industrial facilities, delivering more than 60 million square feet in automated industrial spaces. Within our industrial portfolio across 25 states and two Canadian provinces, we have 60+ active or completed projects featuring automation components. 

Automation systems are intricate, technical and sensitive to changes or undefined facility design parameters that can impact their ability to work at an optimum level. While our team brings extensive experience, designing for automation within industrial facilities is a complex process that requires attention to detail and transparent communication.
