Engineering success through the automation lifecycle

From initial engineering design through full-scale automation and beyond, our solutions are developed with one goal: to drive smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable manufacturing.

At Eclipse, we align our approach to this lifecycle, applying advanced tools and proven methodologies at every stage. Whether it’s simulating workflows with digital twins, engineering precision systems in a closed-loop environment, or integrating Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems for real-time performance, we embed lifecycle thinking into every project to deliver smart, scalable results.

Discovery, strategy, and simulation. Our engineering team partners with you to define the ideal automation solution, modeling performance, identifying bottlenecks, and aligning with your business goals.

From concept to commissioning, we design and build custom automation systems tailored to your production needs. Mechanical, electrical, controls, and software are all developed in-house for maximum integration and performance.

Once systems are live, we help you get the most from them. This includes ramp-up support, monitoring, data-driven performance tuning, equipment efficiency, predictive maintenance, training, and long-term service support.

We seamlessly connect every stage, from initial design to post-launch support. Our vertical integration ensures fewer handoffs, faster timelines, and systems that just work better together by integrating digital technologies across your entire operation.

ADVANCED ENGINEERING SERVICES

Ideation and planning

We collaborate with your team from the beginning to lay the foundation for successful automation. This phase focuses on discovery, strategy, and simulation, enabling smart decisions before any equipment is built. 

We benchmark your current performance, model future states, and simulate pathways to achieve your business and production goals using digital tools and industry expertise to minimize risk, reduce time-to-value, and optimize long-term success.

We deliver:

  • Robot, cell, and full line simulation and optimization
  • Process discovery, bottleneck analysis, ROI evaluation
  • Digital Twin feasibility studies, pathway simulation
  • Volume ramp-up planning and production scaling strategies
  • Custom equipment specification and system architecture
  • Proof-of-principle testing and risk mitigation

AUTOMATION

POST-AUTOMATION

Commissioning and optimization

Our commitment extends beyond installation, partnering with you through onsite commissioning, validation, and ongoing optimization to ensure your automation systems perform reliably and efficiently over their lifecycle.

We deliver:

  • Onsite commissioning and validation, especially in regulated industries such as Life Science, Nuclear and Food and Beverage
  • Ongoing iterative tuning, MES/ERP integration, and performance enhancements
  • Volume ramp-up and scalability planning for smooth production transitions
  • Comprehensive service and support including predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, and operator training
  • Proof of principle testing and risk mitigation strategies
  • Leveraging data and AI-driven insights to continuously improve safety, productivity, and sustainability

Vertical integration

Our Crown Jewel. Your Outcomes

Our vertically integrated model gives factory leaders a faster, lower-risk path to deploying factory automation. By bringing mechanical engineering, robotics, controls, software, vision inspection and system integration together under one organization, we eliminates the coordination challenges that often slow factory automation programs.

For factory leaders, this means one accountable partner responsible for performance, timelines, and system reliability. The result is factory automation that integrates more smoothly, scales more effectively, and delivers measurable production outcomes—from higher throughput to improved quality and operational resilience.

We deliver:

  • Single Partner Accountability – one integrated team responsible for system architecture, engineering, build, and deployment.
  • Scalable Automation Platforms – systems designed with full lifecycle support and adaptability as production evolves.
  • Higher System Reliability – tight coordination across disciplines improves performance, uptime, and maintainability.
