Today’s manufacturing environment demands more than just traditional machines; it requires advanced design systems that increase precision, increase product throughput, and minimize costly errors. 

With these systems, manufacturers can increase thought by combining customized design with efficiency-driven automation. Lindquist Machine Corporation is leading the way with advanced design systems to create and refine solutions for a wide variety of industry needs.

What are Advanced Design Systems?

Advanced mechanical and control engineering design, integrated software, and automation technologies are used in advanced design systems to optimize manufacturing processes. They can create custom machinery with unprecedented accuracy, speed, and adaptability. These systems reduce the margin for error, speed to market, and align complex manufacturing workflows with the high standards of modern industry requirements. This approach allows Lindquist to offer hard automation & robotic solutions that are custom to the needs of each client.

Benefits of Advanced Design Systems in Manufacturing

1. Precision Engineering

One of the most significant benefits of advanced design systems is the unparalleled precision they bring to manufacturing. By combining mechanical and electrical engineering, Lindquist ensures that every machine we design operates with exacting accuracy. This precision not only improves product quality but also enhances the efficiency of production lines. It reduces waste and rework costs by minimizing errors from the outset.

Lindquist’s advanced design systems empower us to build machines that precisely align with our clients’ specifications, down to the finest detail. Whether your needs involve single-unit prototyping or large-scale production, our vertically integrated capabilities—including CNC machining, fabrication, painting, mechanical and electrical assembly, controls integration, installation, start-up, field service, and spare parts support—allow us to deliver seamless turnkey automated solutions.

2. Enhanced Efficiency

Lindquist optimizes each phase of machine creation, from design and prototyping to final production and installation, with advanced design systems. This allows us to have full in-house manufacturing capabilities and the capacity to coordinate seamlessly across all stages, greatly reducing lead times. Proactive communication and weekly project updates keep clients in the loop about the progress, which makes collaboration easier and more productive.

Additionally, by integrating automation solutions into our design-build processes, we increase factory floor efficiency. We provide turnkey machine building and custom automation solutions to our clients to streamline operations and make the transition from production line changes and upgrades smoother. The level of efficiency achieved here enables clients to increase their output while maintaining the quality standards demanded in competitive markets.

3. Increased Adaptability

Advanced design systems allow us to design machines that can adapt to our clients’ changing production needs. This adaptability is crucial for companies growing rapidly or diversifying their existing product line. Lindquist’s systems can be modified to existing machinery or new builds without sacrificing speed or performance.

For example, our build-to-print solutions allow us to build machines exactly to client specifications. We can do it all from prototyping to repeat production. This includes machining, fabrication, welding, and assembly. The flexibility of this system allows us to accommodate a wide range of production requirements to meet client demands quickly and with minimal disruption.

Custom Design and Build Solutions at Lindquist

Lindquist specializes in custom machine design solutions, focusing on areas where precision and customization are essential. Our experienced engineering teams provide complete machine validation, check-out, and installation services, ensuring that every machine we deliver is thoroughly tested and ready for operational use.

For clients seeking upgrades or refurbishments/reverse engineering of existing machinery, Lindquist’s machine rebuild and modification services bring new life to older equipment. By retrofitting machines with the latest technology, we help clients boost productivity without needing to invest in entirely new systems. These solutions align with our commitment to maximizing efficiency and quality while providing cost-effective options.

Vertically Integrated Manufacturing for Streamlined Production

At Lindquist, we’re proud of our vertically integrated manufacturing model, which allows us to manage every aspect of production internally. With over 130,000 square feet of manufacturing space, including a 40,000-square-foot assembly area equipped with cranes and confidential climate-controlled assembly bays, we ensure a secure and highly efficient production process.

This vertical integration means we have full control over the quality and timeliness of our projects. By coordinating all stages of production in-house, from design through final assembly, we deliver faster lead times and high-quality outcomes. This level of control supports our ISO 9001:2015 and NQA-1 certifications, which ensure compliance with the highest quality standards, including UL 508A for our control panel shop.

Confidentiality and Security: Protecting Client IP

Lindquist knows that clients dealing with proprietary designs and sensitive information need to be kept confidential. We keep isolated assembly bays with climate control to protect intellectual property and keep highly confidential projects. We have facilities and policies in place so that all client designs and specifications remain secure and proprietary.

The Lindquist Advantage in Advanced Design Systems

In addition to the advantages of advanced design systems, our proprietary project management approach adds regular communication and clear next steps. Clients receive weekly updates, visuals, and risk assessments to keep them informed and project-aligned from beginning to end. This “hyper-communication” process prevents delays and smooths out production at every stage.

Lindquist Machine Corporation is committed to using advanced design systems that will help our clients achieve excellence in manufacturing. Our solutions are used in 21 different industries from food and beverage, paper converting, and pharmaceutical industries.
