Senior experts for complex automation execution.

Core 3 provides project execution, commissioning, troubleshooting and specialist engineering for advanced warehouse, distribution and manufacturing automation systems.

Seasoned experience. State-of-the-art automation.

Across 16 years and 90 automation systems, our experience spans robotics, controls, machine vision, software, WMS/WCS, AI-enabled workflows and integrated material handling—from alpha demonstrations through production deployment and field recovery.

When to call Core 3

Do you have an execution gap?

If your team is stretched thin, your integrator is overloaded, your launch is slipping, or a critical technical capability is missing, Core 3 steps in, takes ownership and gets the work across the line.

01

Your team is stretched thin

You need experienced automation leadership or engineering capacity now—not after another hiring cycle.

See the response →
02

Your integrator is overloaded

Important work is waiting, engineering capacity is constrained, or project gaps are not getting closed.

See the response →
03

Your launch is slipping

Commissioning, startup, troubleshooting or execution risk is putting production dates in danger.

See the response →
04

A technical capability is missing

Controls, robotics, vision, software, AI, WMS/WCS or IT/OT integration is keeping the system from working as a whole.

Who has the gap?

Two buying situations. One execution problem.

System integrators & OEMs

Your backlog exceeds available senior execution capacity.

Core 3 can take ownership of a defined work package without forcing another full integrator layer into the project.

  • Overflow engineering and project execution
  • White-label technical delivery
  • Commissioning and closeout support
  • Specialist capability behind funded scope
Automation owners & operators

The project has vendors. It still needs an execution owner.

Core 3 can act as the controls-literate owner-side lead who closes interfaces, drives unresolved issues and gets the system into production.

  • Technical project leadership
  • Integrator and vendor accountability
  • Launch recovery and troubleshooting
  • Cross-discipline issue closure
How we work

We don't hand you another problem to manage.

Own.

We take responsibility for the outcome.

Solve.

We diagnose quickly and engineer practical solutions.

Deliver.

We execute with urgency and stay through closure.

The execution lifecycle

The gap can happen anywhere.

Plan. Engineer. Integrate. Commission. Launch. Operate. Core 3 does not need to own the entire project to close the part that is stopping execution.

Bring us in where the work is blocked. We diagnose the constraint, marshal the required capability and drive it to closure.

In real operations

Greenfield launches, brownfield issues, vendor gaps, commissioning, troubleshooting, performance recovery and closeout.

The 90-system / 16-year figures reflect the team's career history prior to and including Core 3 Automation; they are not represented as projects completed by the new company alone.

Where we step in

The problem first. The discipline second.

We organize technical depth around the execution constraint—not around a catalog of resumes.

01

Project execution

Senior automation leadership that keeps scope, vendors, decisions and technical risks moving.

  • Automation project management
  • Technical project management
  • Owner-side execution
  • Vendor coordination & closeout
02

Commissioning & recovery

Put experienced people on the blocking issue and drive the system through startup and ramp.

  • FAT / SAT support
  • I/O checkout & startup
  • Field troubleshooting
  • Performance improvement
03

Controls & robotics

Controls-literate execution across the equipment and logic that make the automation move.

  • PLC / HMI / SCADA support
  • Sequence and handshake issues
  • Robotics integration
  • Network and I/O coordination
04

Vision & advanced automation

Specialist support where perception, sensing or advanced workflows are the missing constraint.

  • Machine vision integration
  • Calibration & troubleshooting
  • AI-enabled workflow support
  • Specialty sensing
05

Systems integration

Close the interfaces between business systems, software, controls and physical automation.

  • WMS / WCS integration
  • Software & middleware
  • Data interfaces
  • IT / OT coordination
06

Specialist depth

Bring in the exact capability required while Core 3 remains the accountable front door.

  • Machine safety
  • Simulation
  • Mechanical design
  • Uncommon platforms & specialty skills
How an engagement starts

Start small. Prove value. Expand when it makes sense.

The first engagement should make it easier—not harder—to get a problem moving.

Assess

Execution Gap Diagnostic

A defined assessment of what is blocking execution, followed by a prioritized recovery plan and action list.

Best for: unclear root cause
Execute

Execution Block

A bounded block of senior automation capacity focused on a defined problem or technical work package.

Best for: immediate defined work
Reserve

Core 3 Execution Pod

Reserved monthly execution capacity with senior review, technical depth and one accountable Core 3 lead.

Best for: sustained bandwidth gaps
Respond

Priority Support

First-call continuity for existing automation owners who need rapid access when something important goes wrong.

Best for: recurring support needs
Why Core 3

Execution ownership without another layer of bureaucracy.

Senior people on the problem

Hands-on execution, not layers of handoffs.

Accountable ownership

We own the defined outcome and stay with the issue through closure.

Supply-chain fluency

We understand how operations, systems and automation actually interact in the field.

Flexible depth

We bring in the right specialist capability when and where it is needed.

Results over process

We document what was blocked—and what changed.

Every publishable Core 3 case study will follow the same discipline: the execution gap, the consequence, what we found, what we owned, how we solved it, and the measurable result.
