For decades, Regal Finishing has specialized in providing high‑quality coating services for a wide range of industrial applications. As its product mix expanded and part geometries became more complex, the company’s traditional painting operations grew increasingly difficult to manage. Multiple paint lines, extensive part handling, and manual processes limited efficiency and introduced opportunities for inconsistency and waste. To streamline operations and support future growth, Regal Finishing partnered with Robotic Technical Support Services, Inc. (RTSS) and FANUC America to design and implement a fully automated robotic paint system — consolidating painting into a single, start‑to‑finish process focused on consistency, efficiency, and long‑term reliability.
At Northern Kentucky Machine (NKM), a precision job shop serving everyone from food and beverage suppliers to large manufacturers, the challenges of chronic labor shortages and capacity limits were starting to hurt production. Instead of continuing the search for scarce skilled workers, NKM partnered with FANUC Authorized System Integrator Gosiger’s Automation Within Reach to bring robots onto the shop floor, freeing people from repetitive, labor intensive tasks and enabling longer unattended runs. The payoff has been clear: faster cycle times, smarter use of labor, and a real runway for growth.
Southern Stone Surfaces upgraded its production by replacing four older stone CNC routers with three Paladin slab cutting machines from Better Built Machines. Powered by FANUC technology, the new machines improved precision, reduced training and maintenance time, and increased throughput—allowing Southern Stone to expand its customer base and take on more work.
