Industrial Automation Australia: World Class Solutions

In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, automation is no longer a luxury—it’s essential. At Process Evolution, we deliver world-class industrial automation solutions designed, built, and supported in Australia. With more than two decades of experience in bespoke automated machinery and advanced manufacturing lines, we understand the specific needs of Australian manufacturers—because we are one.

Why Australian-Made Automation Matters

Australia’s manufacturing sector is evolving rapidly. While some businesses turn to overseas suppliers for automation solutions, this often leads to more problems than it solves. Choosing local industrial automation providers offers a clear advantage in terms of responsiveness, reliability, and long-term value.

Understanding the Risks of Importing Equipment

Importing complex automation systems from overseas may seem cost-effective upfront, but it comes with hidden dangers. Time zone differences, communication breakdowns, long lead times for spare parts, and lack of compliance with Australian standards can result in costly delays and downtime.

Local Support Means Faster Problem Solving

When issues arise—because they always do—you need a team that’s close by and ready to act. At Process Evolution, we’re based in Melbourne, and our customers benefit from quick site visits, remote support, and same-day dispatch of critical spares. With industrial automation in Australia, you’re not left waiting while a supplier on the other side of the world sends instructions via email.

Tailored Solutions for Australian Manufacturing Challenges

Every manufacturer faces unique production challenges. Whether it’s harsh environmental conditions, strict regulatory compliance, or space constraints, our team knows what Australian businesses need because we’ve worked with them across countless industries. Our systems are built to handle the real-world demands of Australian factory floors.

What Sets Process Evolution Apart

Process Evolution isn’t a reseller or importer. We’re designers, builders, and engineers. Our solutions are not “off the shelf”—they’re custom-developed to suit your product, your space, and your throughput goals.

Bespoke Machines Built for Your Process

From automatic capping machines to pail filling lines, our equipment is built around your exact needs. We combine smart design with practical, rugged construction to ensure your automation works not just in theory—but on your shop floor, shift after shift.

Designed, Built and Supported Right Here in Australia

Every project we deliver is engineered, assembled, and tested in our Melbourne facility. This local control ensures we maintain the highest quality standards, deliver shorter lead times, and offer complete transparency throughout the build process.

A Team That Understands Local Standards and Expectations

We build all of our equipment to meet Australian compliance requirements, including AS 4024 safety standards and relevant IECEx or ATEX requirements where needed. We speak your language—literally and technically.

Industries We Serve with Industrial Automation in Australia

Our team has worked with manufacturers across a wide range of sectors, providing systems that increase productivity, reduce labour, and enhance product consistency.

Food & Beverage

From high-speed bottle capping to hygienic pail filling, we understand the need for clean, efficient, and compliant systems in food production.

Chemicals, Adhesives & Construction Materials

We develop automated systems that can handle sticky, abrasive, or hazardous materials with precision and safety.

Plastic Manufacturing & Packaging

We help plastics manufacturers and their customers automate container handling, sealing, palletising, and more—minimising manual labour and boosting throughput.

Contract Manufacturing & Filling Lines

With a deep understanding of short-run, high-mix production, we offer flexible automation that adapts quickly to new SKUs and formats.

The Hidden Costs of Buying Overseas Automation

While low-cost overseas machines may appear attractive, they often fail to deliver in the long term.

Downtime Without Local Support

When support is delayed due to time zones, shipping, or language barriers, every hour lost means lost revenue. Local support ensures you’re back online faster.

Difficulties with Spare Parts and Servicing

It’s not uncommon for imported machines to rely on hard-to-source or obsolete components. At Process Evolution, we design with locally available parts and keep spares on hand.

Misalignment with Australian Safety and Compliance Standards

Non-compliant machines put your business at risk. We ensure every solution meets the requirements of Australian Workplace Health and Safety laws, including safeguarding and electrical standards.

Benefits of Choosing Local Automation Partners

When you partner with an Australian automation expert, you’re investing in more than a machine—you’re investing in long-term performance and peace of mind.

Responsive Service and Onsite Support

Our engineers are available for onsite commissioning, training, troubleshooting, and performance optimisation. We’re there when you need us—not months later.

Clear Communication and Local Project Management

No translation issues. No timezone confusion. Just professional engineers who understand your industry and your goals.

Long-Term Relationships and Ongoing Improvement

Many of our customers have worked with us for over a decade. Our systems are designed to evolve with your business, and we’re here to support them for years to come.

Supporting Australia’s Manufacturing Future

At Process Evolution, we believe in keeping skills, innovation, and jobs on shore. That’s why we train apprentices, collaborate with Australian universities, and work with local suppliers wherever possible.

Investing in Local Skills and Innovation

We’re proud to develop automation solutions that are Made in Australia, by Australians. This supports the local economy and ensures that the next generation of engineers has the experience and mentorship they need to thrive.

Keeping Jobs and Capabilities on Shore

When you buy Australian automation, you’re supporting Australian jobs—from machinists and electricians to software developers and service technicians.

Building Robust, Future-Proof Systems for Australian Industry
