FPE Wins both PHD Great Partner and PHD Optimax Award



FPE Automation accepts both the PHD Great Partner Award and the Optimax Award

We're honored to accept these prestigious awards from PHD, of course. It's the kind of post we like best, our smiling faces, shaking hands and accepting fancy plaques. But truthfully, you might be asking why it matters.

Here's why.

PHD and Optimax products are used in the food and beverage industries, blow molding, medical, packaging, dispensing, laundry, workholding, the equipment manufacturing sector, and more. Awards like these can't typically be attributed to just one success. Rather, they are result of projects with multiple customers, large and small, effectively transforming they way they produce their items. We work with products ranging from a few ounces to hundreds of pounds. The solutions not only need to work better, but also be cost-effective.

In other words, we're working alongside our customers to improve their processes. The results are measurable, proven solutions.

If you're one of those customers, we'd like to thank you! We could not have achieved these honors without you.

If you haven't taken a look at all PHD has to offer, we'd appreciate the opportunity to stop in sometime and show you how PHD and FPE Automation can work for you.

Mark It. Read It.

One of our most entertaining events is back by popular demand!

FPE Automation welcomes Cognex and Panasonic for a special hands-on experience with vision and laser marking.





An energetic, fun experience! Spend the day immersed in live demos and informative sessions with the experts. Featuring Cognex handheld and fixed mount readers and Panasonic laser markers. Enjoy free giveaways and a delicious lunch.

We’ll be skipping the easy targets and jumping right in to the issues our clients tell us they are facing today. Poor focus, low contrast, washed out originals. Items that are difficult to mark. Finder degradation and background problems. They all result in process bottlenecks. We’ll show you how you can eliminate those with the right tools.

It doesn’t end there. Take away long-term benefits. Attend our application Q&A session after the presentations. Bring in your own part. Our specialists will assess how to mark and read your specific item. Don’t miss this opportunity to leverage some of the world’s top expertise in the field and put it to work for you.
