Automated Production Lines
Speed, precision, and total control at every stage of your production process
Comprehensive Production Line Automation
An automated production line is the set of machines, conveyors, and control systems working in synchronization to transform raw materials into finished products. Automation eliminates bottlenecks, reduces errors, and maximizes your plant's throughput.
At Nexum Automatics, we design and integrate complete lines adapted to your sector: food, beverage, pharma, cosmetics, chemical, and logistics. From filling to palletizing, we optimize every stage of the process.
Stages we automate
- •Dosing and Filling: Volumetric, gravimetric, and piston systems for liquids, powders, granules, and viscous products.
- •Packaging and Sealing: Formers, sealers, thermoformers, and modified atmosphere systems to extend product shelf life.
- •Labeling and Coding: Automatic labelers, inkjet printers, laser, and traceability systems.
- •Inspection and Quality Control: Machine vision to detect defects, verify labels, check fill levels, and reject non-conforming products.
- •Casing and Palletizing: Case erectors, automatic case packers, and palletizing robots for end-of-line.

Request Free AnalysisFrequently asked questions about automated production lines
What is an automated production line and what components does it have?
It is a set of interconnected machines, robots, and control systems that execute a production process autonomously or semi-autonomously. Its typical components include: conveyors and motion systems, industrial robots or cobots, PLCs that coordinate the process, sensors and machine vision systems, and SCADA software for real-time supervision. At Nexum, we design each line to measure based on the product and process.
How do I know if my factory is ready to automate its production line?
You don't need a large factory or a perfect process to automate. The clearest indicators are: repetitive tasks that consume a lot of time, frequent product errors, difficulty maintaining a constant production rhythm, or high dependence on staff for manual operations. At Nexum, we perform a free evaluation of your plant to identify what makes the most sense to automate first.
How much does it cost to automate a production line for an SME?
As a rough guide: a partial automation on an existing line can start from €15,000–40,000, and a fully automated new line with PLC, robots, and SCADA can range between €80,000 and €300,000 depending on complexity and sector. At Nexum, we do a free study to give you a realistic range before committing to any investment.
What is the difference between automating an existing line and building a new one?
Automating an existing line is more economical and faster: bottlenecks are identified and equipment is integrated onto the current infrastructure. A new line allows designing the process from scratch, with greater efficiency and scalability. At Nexum, we analyze both options and recommend the most profitable one based on your current situation and production goals.
Is it possible to automate a production line in phases without stopping activity?
Yes, and it is the most common option for SMEs. You start by automating the process with the greatest impact or the most critical bottleneck, and gradually expand. At Nexum, we design phased automation plans that allow gradual investment, quick returns, and uninterrupted production during integration.
How long does it take to recoup an automated production line?
In well-dimensioned projects, the return on investment typically falls between 18 and 36 months. The factors that influence this most are current labor costs, production volume, and the level of automation applied. At Nexum, we include an ROI analysis in the study phase so you have real data before making any decisions.
Which company in Spain handles automating a production line from start to finish?
Nexum Automatics offers the complete service: from analyzing the production process to commissioning the automated line. We handle electrical design, equipment selection, PLC programming, robot integration, and SCADA supervision systems. A single point of contact responsible for the entire project, without the need to coordinate multiple suppliers.
