> Consultation & Evaluations
From consults to system or process evaluations, at TLA we like to work together with our customers to help develop solutions with confidence to move projects forward. Whether you need assistance determining how to best improve your processes or guidance throughout your automation project, we’re here to help.
Our team of engineers is available to assist in collecting real data and determining the feasibility of your application. We perform physical proof of concept testing either at our facility &/or with assistance from product vendors using your parts, including the handling of lighting challenges. Software simulations are also conducted to help better understand limitations and challenges.
TLA can provide insights to a variety of applications and construct custom concepts to assist with next-step solution development.
Some of the applications we're experienced with:
End-of-line packaging
Folding/Assembling Cartons
Gluing
Inspection - for product placement &/or quality control
Kitting
Labeling - coil, spool
Palletization
Placing or positioning products
Sealing/Taping/Wrapping
Sorting or Stacking
Inspection
Machine tending
Machine vision
Pick-and-place
Secondary operations
Welding
Together we can identify the application requirements and conduct applicable tests using sample parts that you have supplied. By understanding cycle time requirements, inspection criteria and other constraints, we can then select the appropriate technologies to help test/validate proposed solutions.
Control Panels
> Our Panel Shop
TLA is a full-service panel shop that offers complete control panel design and fabrication services. UL508A certification is offered when required. Every control panel is powered up and tested for functionality. We'll work with your team to develop and execute an appropriate test and signoff plan for every panel before shipment/delivery.

Machine Builds
> Framing, Guarding, Conveyors
TLA works with your team to develop and build custom modular systems such as:
Frames & Work Cells/Stations - manual or robotic, stationary or mobile
Machine Guarding &/or Safeguarding Solutions - hard guarding or safety fence products, combined as applicable with machine safety products such as light curtains, area scanners, safety controllers, safety mats and safety relays
Conveyor & Linear Motion Systems - designed to handle most any application and layout
Considerations to be discussed as concepts and proposals are being built:
> Safety
Review machine or application safety concerns and pinpoint any potential risks to account for in a guard.
> Environmental constraints
Assess any environmental restrictions related to the application that should be considered in frame or guard design.
> Requirements
Document general requirements, including operator insights and examining their interactions with the system.
Flexible options for delivery and installation.
