Semi-Automated Workcells


McAlister Design specializes in these custom Operator Workcells. 

These semi-automated machines can increase the repeatability, productivity, and safety of any manual assembly, inspection, or production process.

MD&A has built 100's of these robust machines for companies in the automotive industry as well as other manufacturing and production environments where products can be more labor intensive.

These machines offer a wide variety of benefits, and can provide customers with an option for operator friendly change-out tooling plates.
