Integrated production systems incorporate multiple operations and processes contained in a series of stations and machines to comprise an entire manufacturing entity.

All styles of machines, rates of production, material flows, production floor layouts and macro analysis of cost and cash flow planning are combined with micro study of the optimum means of achieving processes and a series of value-added operations.

Swanson equipment solutions to integrated production systems have reflected almost 90 years of changing priorities: from single-standing cost reducing machines of many years ago, to more adaptable, redeployable, multitask machine solutions to meet the objectives and priorities of today's manufacturers. Not only is quality consistency of current importance, but quantitative leaps in the life and function of the automatically-produced products are now of utmost importance. Increasing poke yoke techniques assure the entry of perfect product components. Strictly controlled assembly, process, and other value-added functions confirm their 100% quality attainment.

All available styles and configurations of Swanson machines insure that a comprehensive selection process is conducted: that the best possible solution of meeting all functional, production, and financial obligations are optimized.

Over the years Swanson-developed Demand and Synchro Bank systems have been important empirical steps towards resolving systems' design and production floor layout. More recently Swanson Agile Assembly technology has provided badly needed solutions which now incorporate contractibility, expandability, redeployability, adaptability, flexibility; and best of all, assurance of functional solution within time and cost guidelines.

A few recent examples are:
