Now more than ever, companies are under pressure to deliver more faster, more accurately, and more efficiently. That’s where automation comes in. But here’s the catch: not all automation solutions are created equal. Every industry has specific needs, and what works for one might not work for another. At Tompkins Solutions, we believe in creating automation strategies that are tailored, not templated.
Now more than ever, companies are under pressure to deliver more faster, more accurately, and more efficiently. That’s where automation comes in. But here’s the catch: not all automation solutions are created equal. Every industry has specific needs, and what works for one might not work for another. At Tompkins Solutions, we believe in creating automation strategies that are tailored, not templated.
From pharmaceuticals to food and beverage to e-commerce, we’ve helped organizations across industries reimagine their operations. Here's how customized automation is solving complex challenges in three very different spaces.
Pharmaceuticals: Compliance Meets Efficiency
In the pharmaceutical industry, precision is non-negotiable. Storage conditions, regulatory compliance, and product security are all critical. That’s why pharmaceutical companies turn to Tompkins Solutions for automation systems built to maintain control and accuracy at every step.
- Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) help maximize vertical space while maintaining clean, controlled environments.
- Robotic picking systems reduce manual handling and the risk of contamination.
- Automated inventory tracking supports traceability and helps meet strict regulatory standards.
Our pharmaceutical-grade solutions help companies protect their products and reputation while increasing throughput and minimizing waste.
Food & Beverage: Perishables on the Clock
In the food and beverage space, freshness is everything. Products are perishable, timelines are tight, and there’s no room for error. Our automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are designed to handle high-volume operations in temperature-controlled environments, without sacrificing speed or safety.
- High-density cold storage optimizes space and preserves product quality.
- Conveyor and robotic picking systems reduce order errors and keep things moving fast.
- Track-and-trace capabilities ensure transparency, enhancing food safety and regulatory compliance.
By automating fulfillment, food and beverage companies can move quickly, reduce spoilage, and keep customers happy.
E-Commerce: Built for Speed and Scale
The rise of e-commerce has changed customer expectations forever. Same-day and next-day shipping aren’t luxuries anymore, they’re the baseline. To keep up, online retailers need automated systems that can scale fast and adapt on the fly.
- Goods-to-person technologies streamline the picking process and reduce labor requirements.
- Shuttle systems and conveyor sortation improve throughput, even during seasonal spikes.
- Smart storage systems increase inventory capacity without expanding your footprint.
With automation built for speed, e-commerce companies can meet peak demand without burning out their teams or breaking their budgets.
