Heavy Fabrication Systems

Midwest Engineered Systems is no stranger to automating big things. MWES has fabrication facilities and mechanical engineering staff that are highly experienced at making sure large components safely go where they should. Even if the process requires heavy deposition welding, rough machining, specialized part fit-ups, or a combination of operations, we design engineered solutions that accommodate the unique situations heavy fabrication firms need. We’ve even developed our own large-scale robotic positioning systems to accommodate the sizes and weights of components destined for market segments like off-highway, defense, oil and energy.

We are also highly skilled at streamlining manual processes in the same industries. We can analyze and assess the current production operation and develop solutions that reduce production bottlenecks and increase worker safety. Further, MWES can apply advanced tools and technologies to manual processes. This offers the opportunity for heavy fabrication firms to see some of the same benefits more automation-focused plants experience like upgraded material tracking, tighter process control and more reliable adherence to assembly specifications.

Regardless of the process, whether welding, forming, heavy-lifting grinding or finishing, MWES has particular experience increasing throughput while increasing production quality.
