ALPHR Modular Solutions

Modular Automation Solutions

Did you know that ALPHR are not only experts in the design and manufacture of special purpose machines but also offer a broad range of modular, standardised machines. ALPHR understands that market trends have changed and to accommodate this, so too has our offering. The needs of our clients have changed, requiring business to be more agile, adapting to challenges in supply chain, labour shortages and the redistribution of skilled labour.

Modular Automation Systems

We have used our 30 years of experience in automation to develop a range of products that have been specifically designed to bridge the gap between fully bespoke automation solutions and solutions where shorter lead-times, modularity, flexibility, ease of integration and quicker factory implementation is critical. Every modular station supplied by ALPHR is based on the same fundamental architecture, including controls, pneumatics, User Interface, and fully developed safety systems. Offering faster factory integration, quicker operator training and improved serviceability/ maintenance, our modular stations can accommodate multiple configurations and line layouts resulting in the most flexible, modular automation solution on the market. Our standard range is targeted to help business mitigate the perceived risks of automation and offer: ctions in waste and reworking. This offers benefits to cost base and profitability, whilst also making a business greener.

Cost-effectiveness

Familiarity

Quicker ROI

Shorter lead-times

Well defined, proven solution

Off the shelf (OTS) spares

Defined foot-print

This offers benefits around greater job satisfaction, better value from staff and a safer working environment.

Automated Production

Increased availability and reduced unplanned downtime. Redeployment of skilled resources to higher-value tasks. Improved mean time between failures (MTBF). For current technologies used in control systems, these are in the range of 50-150 years. Lower cost of manufacture to gain a competitive edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is modular automation?

Modular automation refers to flexible, pre-engineered systems built from standardised components that can be easily configured or reconfigured to meet changing production needs. ALPHR’s modular stations are designed for fast integration, consistent performance, and adaptability across different applications.

Industries with evolving product lines or high-mix/low-volume production benefit most from modular automation. This includes:

  • Automotive
  • Medical Devices
  • Electronics
  • HVAC
  • Aerospace
  • Transportation

Modular automation allows these industries to scale quickly, reduce downtime, and adapt to market demands without redesigning entire systems.

By reducing lead times, simplifying operator training, and enabling quicker reconfiguration, modular automation lowers upfront costs and accelerates return on investment. ALPHR’s standardised architecture also means spare parts and support are readily available, reducing maintenance costs and increasing system uptime.

Yes. While modular systems are based on standard platforms, ALPHR offers flexible configurations and custom tool integration. This allows businesses to combine the speed and cost-efficiency of standardisation with the benefits of tailored automation.

Absolutely. One of the key advantages of modular automation is its scalability. ALPHR’s systems are designed to accommodate new components, products, or processes, ensuring long-term usability and future-proofing your investment.
