Software Partnerships and Certifications
Robust Automation Controls You can Trust
Automation systems developed by IST Precision are fully tested, validated, and built for long-term reliability in the field. Each control sequence and software module undergoes comprehensive simulation and on-machine verification to ensure stable performance and minimal downtime. The result is a robust, serviceable automation platform with code that’s clean, maintainable, and virtually defect-free.
Clients trust IST Precision because each system leaves the facility fully vetted, safety-checked, and ready to perform from day one.
When to Consider Custom Precision Automation
Our machines might be deployed when:
There is no commercial system for a unique process
Accuracy, speed, or size requirements exceed the capabilities of typical platforms
Integration with custom sensors, machine vision, or test modules is needed
Tightly toleranced production demands are increasing beyond normal personnel capacity
Precision process requirements are beyond a typical staff’s skill or capability
We’ve supported industries from medical and electronics to optical and R&D.

The Tiniest Defects Magnified: IST’s Custom Vision Expertise
January 30, 2025
Are you searching for a machine vision partner for your automation or custom instrument or application? Do you need a company that actually understands inspection? Unlike standard integrators, our company offers a wide breadth of knowledge in metrology and inline inspection.
Vendor Feature: Asyril Flex Feeders – Micro Automation and Feeder Systems
December 17, 2024
The demand for smaller, more powerful, and increasingly functional devices continues to surge, spanning a wide range of applications—from implantable medical devices (such as pacemakers and miniaturized hearing aids) to non-invasive surgical tools and consumer electronics (like smartwatches). However, this trend toward miniaturization presents a challenge: how can we efficiently assemble and manufacture these intricate and delicate devices on a large-scale production level?

Automating Workflows: A Collaborative Success Story
July 22, 2024
The Industrial Automation market is expected to reach $𝟒𝟎𝟎 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 annually by 2029. This growth is only possible by making automation more flexible and easier to adopt in to manufacturing. The rise in the need for more automation in U.S. manufacturing is in part driven by two factors: a shrinking skilled workforce and the need for cost-effective processes. As companies bring production back to the U.S. (onshoring), staying competitive requires streamlined workflows, and reduced labor costs.
