Engineering Results
Real interventions. Documented outcomes.
ABB IRC5 Multi-Robot Line
Failure Event
Catastrophic program corruption across 6 ABB IRC5 controllers during a power event. OEM integrator quoted 2-week recovery timeline. Production at full stop.
Intervention
- Recovered production programs from controller flash memory
- Rebuilt I/O and safety circuit configuration
- Validated all safety interlocks and zone coordination
- Full production runoff completed
Business Impact
- Full production restored in 18 hours vs. 2-week quote
- Avoided estimated $400K+ in extended downtime costs
KUKA KRC4 Spot Welding Cell
Failure Event
New KUKA KRC4 welding cell missing cycle time targets by significant margin. Integrator exhausted options after 3 weeks onsite. Line throughput bottleneck.
Intervention
- Complete motion path rewrite and optimization
- Weld sequence reordering to minimize air moves
- Servo parameter tuning for faster acceleration
- Zone interlock optimization with adjacent cells
Business Impact
- 15% cycle time reduction achieved
- Cell now exceeds target by 2 seconds per part
Fanuc R-30iB + Cognex Vision
Failure Event
Cognex In-Sight integration stalled for weeks. Robot-vision handshaking failing intermittently. Integrator unable to resolve communication issues.
Intervention
- Rewired EtherNet/IP communication architecture
- Rebuilt vision jobs with proper triggering sequence
- Camera-to-robot coordinate calibration
- Error handling and recovery logic implementation
Business Impact
- Vision-guided picking operational in 5 days
- System running stable in production
Client Feedback
What engineering managers say about working with In Control Robotics.
"Michael diagnosed our Fanuc servo fault in under an hour when our integrator had been chasing it for days. Saved us from what could have been a week of downtime."
Plant Engineering Manager
Tier 1 Automotive Supplier
Michigan
"We needed someone who could work across our mixed fleet of KUKA and ABB cells. Most contractors specialize in one platform. Michael handled both without missing a beat."
Automation Engineer
Aerospace Components Manufacturer
Ohio
"Straight talk, no fluff. Showed up, understood the problem, and fixed it. Exactly what we needed when our line was down."

Why In Control?
No Junior Resources
Every project handled by a senior engineer with 15+ years of multi-platform experience. No hand-offs to trainees.
Faster Than Integrators
Direct communication. No project managers, sales layers, or approval chains. You talk to the engineer doing the work.
Platform-Agnostic
Fanuc, KUKA, Yaskawa, ABB—we work across all major platforms. The right solution, not just the one we know.
Execution-Focused
We show up, understand the problem, and execute. No lengthy discovery phases or scope creep.
