He begins, however, by providing some insight into the company’ s background.
“ Mission Design & Automation has been in business for 20 years, privately held and financially backed by a group of investors in West Michigan. The company was founded by a pair of entrepreneurs in a garage and has since grown to three buildings on one large manufacturing campus with around 180 employees and customers all over the world. We sell through people-to-people contact; we’ re a solution-focused company, and we take care of our customers very well,” Scot shares.
“ We offer a broad range of advanced manufacturing equipment solutions; some are very complex and technologically advanced, and some are simpler,” he continues, elaborating on Mission’ s scope of capabilities.“ We ask our customers a lot of questions and we conduct regular site visits to understand their current processes and discover areas for improvement. We
then bring a set of solutions to the table; our toolbox includes a range of solutions from fully automated cells incorporating AI, vision, and robotics; to simple, ergonomically advantageous operator stations. It’ s a unique way of going about business; we don’ t come with a predefined set of products. We ask the customer what their challenges are, and, with our partners, we build the best solutions and technologies to overcome those challenges and help them reach their goals.”
Championing a fully comprehensive, customer-centric approach, Mission is widely recognized for pushing the boundaries in the realm of manufacturing and automation. From design inception and RCD, to engineering and build, continuing to final installation, validation, and support through the lifecycle of the equipment, Mission’ s process is collaborative, driving the successful configuration of solutions that exceed expectations and are truly transformative to its customers’ processes.
