The automation partner you call when failure is not an option.
At Steven Douglas Corp, we design and build custom automation systems that increase throughput, improve quality, and make manufacturing easier to scale.
We’re not theoretical engineers.
We’re builders. Operators. Problem-solvers.
SDC partners with manufacturers who are tired of:
Labor bottlenecks
Inconsistent quality
Manual processes that don’t scale
Equipment that looks good on paper but struggles in reality
We design, engineer, and build custom automation systems that integrate seamlessly into your operation — because real success isn’t just cycle time. It’s uptime, repeatability, and long-term performance.
Our solutions are designed for operators, maintenance teams, and real production environments.
From first automation project to multi-line expansion, we grow alongside our customers.
Integration, training, service, and long-term support aren’t afterthoughts — they’re part of the system.
Automated machines and systems can be very successful at increasing manufacturing productivity and enhancing quality. This creates an efficient and safe environment for employees on the factory floor. The key to this success is partnering with an expert who can develop the right solution.

At SDC, we specialize in creating custom machines that automate production, enhancing efficiency and performance on the factory floor compared to traditional manufacturing methods. Our capabilities and expertise are adaptable across any industry, with our technology easily transferable to meet the unique needs of each sector. Over the years, our team has engineered and built hundreds of machines to produce a diverse range of products. We approach each project with a fresh perspective, designing tailored solutions that combine proprietary processes and advanced equipment to meet every machine specification with precision.
Keep production moving with precise, synchronized motion control for seamless workflow.
Flexible feeding systems to handle parts of varying sizes and shapes, enhancing adaptability.
Accurate part positioning with linear and dial indexing for smooth and consistent operation.
Automated tray handling to streamline processes that require precise loading and unloading.
Efficient cartoning and packaging systems designed to keep your products moving from assembly to ready-for-sale.
Reliable solar testing and inspection solutions to ensure quality and performance in solar components.
Highly accurate solar simulations for short and long-term tests in a controlled R&D environment
Solving our customer’s toughest automation needs — we make machines that help optimize manufacturing processes. This includes, but is not limited to, increasing efficiency, quality, safety, and production.
Our mechanical and electrical controls engineering teams work with our clients to make sure each project is designed to meet every specification and requirement
Our machine builders and electricians assemble each system in-house, working with our engineering teams to provide a robust machine.
Each SDC system undergoes rigorous machine testing, otherwise known as run-off, to pass client acceptance criteria before they leave our facility.
We value long-term partnerships and stand behind our custom automated systems. For as long as the machine is in production, we’ll provide support.
