About Us Engineers solving complex manufacturing and design challenges.

BP Automation is a trusted partner in machine design and engineering, delivering custom-built solutions for complex manufacturing challenges. We specialize in one-of-a-kind machines, equipment upgrades, and engineered retrofits, tailoring every project to the operational needs of each customer. Our team is known for solving difficult problems through practical, performance-driven engineering.

We design, engineer, and build mechanical systems and electrical control solutions in-house, ensuring full integration from concept to commissioning. Through product research, prototyping, and rigorous validation, we give customers confidence that their solution will perform as intended before moving into full-scale production.

BP Automation is an Edmonton-based industrial automation and machine design company helping manufacturers solve complex production, controls, retrofit, and custom equipment challenges. Our in-house engineers, machinists, electricians, and project managers take projects from concept and prototype through manufacturing, commissioning, and support.

Mission Statement

BP Automation builds custom machines and automation systems for manufacturers that can’t solve their production problems with standard equipment. We take on welding, cladding, cutting, inspection, handling, and controls challenges—designing and building purpose-built equipment from the ground up, or upgrading existing machines to meet new production requirements.

Our Vision

BP Automation exists to solve manufacturing problems that standard equipment can’t address. We build custom machines and automation systems that give manufacturers in Western Canada a reliable, purpose-built solution — engineered, built, and supported in-house.

In-House Engineering, Design & Build

BP Automation controls every stage of a project — from mechanical design and electrical controls to fabrication and commissioning — all under one roof in Edmonton. This means faster delivery, fewer hand-offs, and a single point of accountability.

Solutions Built Around Your Problem

Every machine we build starts with a real production challenge. We don’t sell off-the-shelf equipment; we engineer solutions that fit your materials, processes, and output targets — including retrofits and upgrades to existing machinery.

Long-Term Support After Delivery

Our relationship doesn’t end at commissioning. BP Automation provides ongoing maintenance services, spare parts support, and engineering assistance so your equipment continues to perform as intended over its full working life.

A Team With Broad Industrial Experience

Our engineers bring hands-on experience across welding automation, plate cladding, robotic cutting, machine controls, prototyping, and inspection systems — giving BP Automation the depth to tackle complex, multi-discipline projects.

Engineering

BP Automation’s engineering team designs and builds custom automation systems for clients across Western Canada — from robotic welding and plate cladding to process control, inspection, prototyping, and machine retrofits. We combine mechanical design, electrical controls, fabrication, and software under one roof, giving clients a single accountable partner from concept to commissioning.

Machining, Welding & Fabrication

BP Automation engineers custom machining, welding, and fabrication systems built around your specific process requirements. In-house capabilities include manual machining, CNC machining, waterjet cutting, welding, and machine assembly — used both to build our custom automation equipment and to take on standalone fabrication and machining work for customers.

Prototype and Product Development

BP Automation builds functional prototypes as part of new product and machine development programs. We work with customers from initial concept through proof-of-concept builds and functional validation — using in-house engineering, machining, fabrication, and controls to build working prototypes before committing to full production tooling.

Project Management

BP Automation manages custom machine projects from initial scope and engineering through fabrication, controls, installation, and commissioning. Our project managers coordinate across the in-house engineering, machining, and electrical teams to keep timelines and budgets on track — giving customers a single point of contact throughout the build.

Production & Process Control

BP Automation designs and builds process control systems as part of the custom machines we engineer. This includes PLC programming, HMI development, sensor integration, closed-loop feedback, and safety controls. Systems are built to give operators real-time visibility and control over production variables — speed, temperature, position, force, or process quality — depending on the application.

Electronics & Sensors

BP Automation integrates sensors and electronics into the custom automation systems we build. This includes proximity sensors, vision systems, encoders, load cells, temperature sensors, and other instruments used to monitor and control the machine’s process. Sensor selection and integration are handled by our in-house electrical and controls team alongside the mechanical and software design.

Measurement & Instrumentation

BP Automation designs measurement and instrumentation systems for custom machines that require precise monitoring of process variables — dimensions, position, temperature, force, or weld quality. Systems are built around the specific measurement requirements of the application, using appropriate sensors, signal conditioning, data acquisition, and controls.

Safety

Advancements in technologies and safety standards have made manufacturing safety an effective tool to improve production efficiencies. We manufacture automation tools while strictly implementing the industrial safety standards to reduce injuries and improve risk management. BP Automation specializes in providing automation tools, both hardware and software, that ensure the safety of your employees without compromising productivity. We are here to streamline your industrial processes through cost-effective and safe automation and control systems.
