Lights-Out Efficiency for Complex, Short-Run Parts
At TKMS, we don’t treat automation as an afterthought. We’ve engineered it into the core of our operation to support customers with variable part types, aggressive timelines, and tight budgets — without compromising quality.
While most automation systems are optimized for long-run manufacturing, we’ve built ours to thrive in high-mix, low-volume environments. Our customers don’t need tens of thousands of identical parts — they need flexible systems that can run families of complex components efficiently and repeatedly.
Built for Flexibility, Designed for Scale
With our automation infrastructure, we’re able to run jobs overnight and on weekends without operator oversight. That means higher machine utilization and faster turnaround, even when every part in the queue is different.
We develop much of our automation in-house through our sister company, KORE Automation. This gives us the ability to tailor systems to specific customer requirements — including coordinated workflows, kitted assemblies, and multi-cell scheduling.
Key Advantages
Automation helps our customers:
Reduce cost per part in small to mid-size runs
Maintain consistency across multi-featured, complex geometries
Eliminate delays tied to labor or shift constraints
Engineering-Driven Approach to Part Success
When your part geometry creates challenges for production efficiency or feature tolerances, our team works directly with your engineers to find smart solutions — often optimizing parts for manufacturability without sacrificing performance.
Who Automation Serves Best
This approach is ideal for engineering teams or OEMs that:
01
Are scaling production of an existing product line
02
Need to limit in-house manufacturing or supplier management
03
Want ready-to-assemble parts delivered on schedule
04
Prefer a partner who understands the design intent behind each component
More Than Machines-
Automation Backed by Process Thinking
Our team has decades of machining and automation experience, but our value goes beyond technology. We bring engineering-level thinking to each job — building automation solutions that make sense not just for the part, but for the customer’s broader manufacturing and delivery needs.
