Material Handling Automation
Complex and custom material handling automation solutions that drive client success
At EPCM, we have over 40 years of experience delivering unique and innovative robotic material handling equipment to heavy manufacturing clients worldwide.
A proven leader in natural resource automation
Always the innovator, EPCM was the first automation company to introduce robotic material handling solutions to the natural resources industry. Built on the early success of our Cathode Stripping Machines (CSMs), Anode Preparation Machines (APMs), Anode Scrap Wash (ASW), and starter sheet automation, EPCM’s solutions are used in all aspects of global electrowinning and electrorefining operations today.
Let EPCM automate your dull, dirty and dangerous tasks and watch your profitability grow
We excel at streamlining our clients’ manufacturing processes by automating tedious and low-value manual tasks. This will help you free up labour to work on cleaner, safer and more valuable activities. You’ll reap the benefits of lower operating costs, reduced complexity, higher quality and increased throughput. Contact us to discuss your automation or outsourcing needs.
Heavy and fast turnkey solutions customized to client needs
Unlike other automation providers, EPCM doesn’t stop at solving only what’s visible. We dig deeper. We have a track record for quickly recognizing and solving problems clients aren’t aware of – consistently accelerating their productivity, safety, and cost gains.
