He continues, “As supply chains continue to shift, we see even greater demand for flexible and lower cost solutions. That’s why we’re committed to investing in innovation and solving our customers’ challenges in new innovative ways.”

With a fully integrated robotic platform, RoboClip ensures consistent clip positioning across a wide range of part sizes and geometries. Its compact footprint and modular design allow for seamless integration into production lines. The system comes with an intuitive user-interface to make teaching points quick for operators or maintenance.

Backed by decades of automation development experience and ongoing investment in R&D, Innovative Automation has established itself as a trusted partner for the development of unique automation processes. The company’s engineering team excels at designing, testing, and refining advanced manufacturing solutions — combining creativity, technical depth, and hands-on problem solving.

RoboClip is ideally suited for automotive, appliance, and industrial applications, where consistent clip fastening is critical to structural integrity and assembly quality. Like RoboTape, RoboClip delivers a measurable return on investment through increased uptime, reduced labor strain, and elevated product consistency.
