The company said its A3 and UL certifications, ISO recertification, and employment of TUV certified engineers underpin its commitment to excellence.
WAUSEON, Ohio—Wauseon Machine, a provider of integrated automation systems, recently highlighted its achievement of elite industry certifications, as well as its team of certified professionals, as evidence of its continued commitment to quality, safety, and reliability.
With roots dating back to 1983 as a small machine shop specializing in high-quality tooling, Wauseon Machine has maintained this dedication to excellence as part of its core DNA throughout its growth and evolution, the company said in a release.
By prioritizing these standards, Wauseon Machine said it delivers reliable automation, craftsmanship, and assembly equipment, solidifying its strong position in the manufacturing industry.
“Wauseon Machine is proud to obtain the A3 certification, UL certification, and ISO recertification, and prioritizes employing TUV Certified Engineers,” the company stated in the release.
At the forefront of Wauseon Machine’s credentials is the A3 certification from the Association for Advancing Automation, widely recognized as the gold standard in the robotics industry. The prestigious certification involves a rigorous on-site audit of processes, systems, and personnel to ensure companies meet the highest standards for safety and quality in robotic automation. A3 certification is a benchmark for evaluating technical and robotic safety acumen, as well as overall business excellence, the company said.
To achieve this certification, Wauseon Machine’s team undergoes comprehensive on-site auditing, including practical assessments of key personnel. This process certifies the company’s processes, systems, and staff, ensuring the highest quality of work. Notably, out of more than 2,000 integrators in the United States, only 42 have earned the distinction of being A3 certified robotic integrators, according to the release.
“The A3 certification provides assurance to customers, especially those new to Wauseon Machine, of the company’s proven ability to deliver high-quality work, on time, with excellent craftsmanship. It demonstrates Wauseon Machine’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards in robotic integration and automation solutions,” the release stated.
Wauseon Machine is committed to employing TUV certified engineers and technicians, enhancing its commitment to quality and safety. TUV certification, based on rigorous EU standards, ensures safety and quality assurance beyond standard safety panels, encompassing the entire machine. While TUV is a global standard, it allows Wauseon Machine to reach into EU and international companies and is strongly recognized in Europe and Asia within machinery, automotive, electronics, and medical devices.
“With certified professionals in-house, Wauseon Machine can design intrinsically safer and superior systems while shortening lead times through internal certification management,” the company said.
In addition to A3 and TUV certifications, Wauseon Machine is capable of constructing electrical panels for its assemblies that meet rigorous safety standards. The UL certification is crucial for larger customers who require assurance of properly wired, safe, and high-quality electrical components within Wauseon Machine’s assemblies. This certification, which adheres to the UL 508A standard, focuses on safety aspects related to shock, fire, and failure prevention.
“By obtaining UL certification, Wauseon Machine demonstrates its commitment to producing control panels that meet the highest industry standards for safety and quality,” the company added.
Wauseon Machine also stated that it emphasizes its commitment to quality through ISO recertification. ISO certification signifies that Wauseon Machine adheres to a documented process that includes standard practices, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, customer confidence, and continuous improvement. By maintaining ISO standards, Wauseon Machine ensures predictable outcomes and effective risk management for its customers.
“By adhering to these certifications, Wauseon Machine not only differentiates itself from competitors but also demonstrates its commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable, and safe solutions to its customers worldwide,” the company said in the release.
