BARCODE & PRINTING TECHNOLOGIES
At UMS we specialize in Barcode & Printing Technologies which are fundamental to modern inventory management, logistics, manufacturing and retail. These technologies are used to automate the identification and tracking of items and assets, as well as streamline processes related to labeling, tracking, and data management. Below is a detailed breakdown of barcode and printing technologies we use:
2D Barcodes (Matrix Barcodes)
These barcodes represent data in two dimensions (rows and columns), allowing for significantly more information to be stored compared to 1D barcodes.
QR Codes (Quick Response Codes)
Popular for consumer products, marketing, and inventory tracking due to their high data capacity.
Data Matrix
Often used in aerospace, electronics, and small parts tracking due to its compact size.
PLC/HMI CONTROL SYSTEMS
Control Systems & PLC/HMI require skills needed to design, implement and maintain control systems, particularly those that use Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI). We specialize in the integration of automation and process control in industrial settings, enabling machines and processes to operate efficiently, safely and reliably.
We use control systems to manage, command and regulate the behavior of machines, processes, and systems. In industrial environments, control systems automate tasks to increase efficiency, precision, and safety.
Our systems generally consist of:
-
Sensors and Actuators
-
Controllers
-
Control Software
-
Communication Networks
Our industrial control system includes elements like PLCs, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), HMIs, and remote I/O devices. We use PLCs for automation and control tasks in manufacturing, processes, and machinery. PLCs are preferred in industrial environments due to their robustness, flexibility, and reliability in harsh conditions. Key Features of our PLCs include Real-time Control, Modular Design, Inputs/Outputs (I/O), Logic Programming & Communication Protocols.
QUALITY & TESTING
Our systems are designed to provide top-tier safety alongside advanced automation. We use light curtains and safety area scanners from keyence/banner to protect workers from hazardous zones, ensuring a secure working environment.
Precise control with PLC technology: our PLC systems (powered by leading brands like Siemens, Omron, and Allen Bradley) offer precise control and automation of processes for optimal performance.
Intuitive HMI solutions: we integrate HMI systems for intuitive operator interaction, enabling efficient process monitoring and improved ease of use.
Reliable pneumatic systems: our pneumatic systems deliver efficient, reliable solutions across a variety of applications.
-
Linear actuators for precise linear motion.
-
Rotary actuators for rotational power.
-
Essential components such as connectors, flexible positioning units, vacuum cups, ejectors, pumps, dryers, sensors and switches to complete customized pneumatic systems.

APPLICATIONS
Case Studies:
Automation
Dunnage Handling
Systems
Need
The design intent of the Dunnage Handling Systems (Space Manager) is to provide a buffer or access point to load/unload the part flow between machine processes.

Developed high-quality equipment within tight deadline.
-
Cost Savings
-
Reduced Waste
-
Time Efficiency
-
Streamlined Operations
Solution
3
Manufacturing plant faced significant challenges primarily due to the time-consuming process of separating empty or full stacked dunnage. The traditional method created several operational inefficiencies: Long, unplanned queues of trucks formed at the loading area due to mixing of containers.
Challenge

-
Low cycles time. High speed assembly.
-
Eliminated human error.
-
Guarantees an acceptable casting shipping to customer.
Benefits/ROI

Avseal Installation
Probe/Inspection Station
Need
For an automotive manufacturer requires Avseal blind sealing plugs installed on parts with high precision. Due to large volume hundreds of millions of plugs need to be installed in industrial applications.
1
This rapidly installed two-piece sealing plug improves quality and safety in demanding applications while simplifying hole preparation and installation, reducing assembly costs. Typical applications include engine blocks, transmissions, cylinders, brakes, gear box, pneumatic systems, hydraulic blocks, compressors, and pumps.
Solution

Ultimate Manufacturing rose to the challenge and developed a high-quality piece of equipment while conforming to an extremely tight deadline and ultimately exceeding original expectations. Due to microscopic scale inspection required on engine blocks the ability to accurately measure and characterize the properties becomes increasingly challenging.
Challenge

When company adopted our automated station, they achieved:
• A 35% boost in production efficiency.
• A 40% reduction in quality errors (mis assembly alone costs more than 150k annually!).
