How your project started

At IDEA, we follow a structured approach to deliver custom machine solutions that meet your exact needs. We begin with a thorough survey and requirement analysis, working closely with you to understand your production workflow, product specifications, and goals. Next, we develop a concept and preliminary design, proposing an overall solution and layout while defining the right technologies, automation level, and integration options such as robotics or IoT.

Once the concept is approved, we move to detailed design and validation, creating 3D CAD models and simulations for your review before manufacturing. Our team then handles precision machining and assembly, including mechanical fabrication, electrical setup, and PLC/HMI control integration. After assembly, we conduct rigorous testing and trial runs to ensure accuracy, speed, and compliance with safety standards.

Finally, we deliver and install the machine at your facility, providing comprehensive training for your team. Post-installation, we offer ongoing support, including scheduled maintenance, 24/7 technical assistance, and upgrade options to keep your production ahead of the curve.

FAQs

01
What factors should be considered in Custom Machine Manufacturing?

When manufacturing a custom machine, the following key factors should be considered:

  • Production process and product characteristics
  • Installation space and required capacity
  • Level of automation and integration with existing production lines
  • Requirements for IoT, MES/SCADA connectivity, and data traceability

A thorough analysis ensures stable operation, consistent quality, and future scalability of the machine.

02
When should a Custom Machine be selected instead of a Standard Machine?
A custom machine is suitable when the product or process cannot be standardized and requires high precision, specific capacity, or specialized functions.
This approach optimizes performance, quality, and operational flexibility while enabling seamless integration with existing production lines or automation systems.
03
To what extent can a custom machine be customized (Customizability)?
Custom machines can be fully customized in terms of mechanical design, electrical control systems, and software (PLC and software customization).
From machine dimensions and mechanical structure to operating logic, the system is designed according to actual production processes and specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance and long-term scalability.
04
Are custom machines scalable for future expansion?
Yes. Custom machines are typically designed with a modular architecture, allowing additional processes such as labeling, wrapping, or testing modules to be added as production demand increases.
This design enables manufacturers to expand their lines without replacing the entire system.
05
What are the typical phases in implementing a Custom Machine project?

A Custom Machine project typically includes the following phases:

  • Survey & Requirement Analysis: Understanding the customer’s production process and objectives; collecting data on space constraints, capacity, and safety standards.
  • Concept Development: Proposing the overall solution and layout; defining technologies, automation level, and integration requirements.
  • Detailed Design Approval: Creating 3D CAD models, simulating machine operation, and obtaining customer approval prior to manufacturing.
  • Manufacturing & Assembly: Precision fabrication, mechanical and electrical assembly, and PLC/HMI integration.
  • Testing & Optimization: Functional testing and fine-tuning to ensure accuracy, reliability, and safety before delivery.
  • Installation & Handover Support: On-site installation, operator training, and provision of 24/7 maintenance and technical support.

Each phase follows strict engineering controls to minimize risk and ensure stable operation at production start-up.

06
How does the stability of a Custom Machine compare to a Standard Machine?
When designed and manufactured according to industrial standards, a custom machine can achieve stability equal to or even higher than that of a standard machine.
Component quality, compliance with design standards, and thorough technical validation are key factors in ensuring long-term reliability and machine lifespan.
07
Can custom machines be integrated with industrial robots and EOL systems?
Yes. Custom machines can be fully integrated with industrial robots and End-of-Line (EOL) systems.
This integration synchronizes processes such as packaging, sealing, and palletizing, significantly improving line efficiency and operational stability—an approach commonly implemented in IDEA’s solutions.
08
Do custom machine solutions comply with industrial safety standards?
Yes. Custom machines are designed in compliance with industrial safety standards (CE, ISO, and relevant safety regulations).
They can be equipped with safety PLCs, safety fencing, and safety sensors to ensure safe operation for both personnel and equipment.
09
Can custom machines be integrated with MES or ERP systems?
Yes. Custom machines can be connected to MES or ERP systems via industrial communication protocols such as PLC-based interfaces, OPC UA, or Ethernet/IP.
This integration enables real-time production data synchronization, progress tracking, and accurate traceability, supporting efficient production management and line optimization.
10
Is operation and maintenance of a custom machine complex?
No, it is not complex.
  • Operation and maintenance of custom machines are optimized through the following factors:
  • Standardized components for quick and easy replacement
  • Comprehensive technical documentation and operating manuals
  • User-friendly HMI interfaces that simplify operation and reduce errors
Short, focused training programs enabling operators to quickly master the system
As a result, operation and maintenance are simple, efficient, and safe.
IDEA also provides periodic maintenance and warranty services to ensure long-term, reliable performance for customers.
