Survey
Twelve days on your floor with loggers on every axis. We leave with 400 million samples and a list of what is actually costing you parts.
- Axis-level data capture
- Thermal and vibration mapping
- Bottleneck arithmetic

Motion made exact
We design, build and tune the automation behind precision manufacturing. Sub-micron tolerances, held for years.

01 Why KERN
Every plant has a rhythm. We find it, tighten it, and hand it back running quieter than we found it.
Most factories do not need more machines. They need the ones they already own to agree with each other — timing, tolerance, temperature, intent.
So we start with measurement, not procurement. Twelve days on the floor, every axis logged, before we quote a single component.

02 Capabilities
Five disciplines, one control loop.
-
01
Modular cells
Robotic work cells that ship as sealed modules — craned in, bolted down, producing inside a shift.
-
02
Motion control
Servo tuning, jerk shaping and path smoothing that buys back cycle time without touching the tooling.
-
03
Metrology
In-line measurement that closes the loop: parts inspected while they are still cheap to fix.
-
04
Retrofit and tune
Twenty-year-old iron, new nervous system. The cheapest capacity you will ever buy.
-
05
Line telemetry
Every axis, every second, on one dashboard your maintenance lead actually opens.
03 Process
01 / 04
Design
One drawing set, one simulation, one number: the cycle time we will sign for. Nothing is ordered until the model agrees with the floor.
- Digital twin and cycle proof
- Fixed-price scope
- Signed tolerance budget
Commission
Modules arrive pre-run. Installation happens inside your planned downtime, not next to it. Operators train on the cell before it is bolted down.
- Pre-run and witness test
- Shutdown-window install
- Operator certification
Tune
The part nobody quotes for. We stay on telemetry for twelve months, trimming drift as the line wears in, and publish every change we make.
- 12-month drift contract
- Quarterly re-tune
- Open change log
04 Selected work
Three lines that stopped losing money.
They spent two weeks measuring before they sold us anything. Nobody had ever done that.
