OCHI Automation LLC designs and integrates industrial control systems, machine vision, and sensor solutions for manufacturers who can't afford downtime.
We don't just program controllers — we understand the production environment they live in.
OCHI Automation LLC is a small, focused engineering firm based in the Auburn / Sumner area of Washington State. We work with manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest who need reliable, practical automation — not overengineered systems that are hard to maintain.
With hands-on experience in industrial production lines, laser measurement systems, and machine vision, we bring a plant-floor perspective to every project. That means we design for operators, not just engineers — clear interfaces, robust logic, and systems that actually get used.
We also develop our own industrial products, including AirShield — a Coanda-effect air purge system that protects laser sensors in dusty manufacturing environments. It has been deployed and field-proven since 2024.
Learn about AirShield →End-to-end engineering support — from concept and programming to commissioning and ongoing support.
Custom logic development for Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and related platforms. State machine architecture, safety integration, and commissioning support.
Sensor selection, mounting, calibration, and software integration for laser profilers and vision cameras. Defect detection, dimensional measurement, and real-time reporting.
Operator interfaces designed for real production environments — shift-aware dashboards, alarm management, and production tracking systems optimized for touchscreen use.
Data collection, statistical analysis, and process improvement for manufacturing lines. CSV logging, real-time charting, and board/batch measurement reporting.
From concept to field deployment — mechanical design in Fusion 360, embedded controls, and manufacturing-ready documentation. We've done it with AirShield.
We travel to your facility. Startup support, troubleshooting, operator training, and ongoing maintenance relationships for systems we build — and systems we didn't.
A Coanda-effect air purge nozzle that continuously clears dust and debris from laser profiler optics. Field-proven in industrial manufacturing since 2024. Patent pending.
Whether you're looking for controls help, sensor integration, or just need to figure out why something isn't working — reach out.
We're a small, focused team. You'll talk to the engineer who will actually work on your project — not a project manager who passes things along. We take a limited number of clients at a time to keep it that way.
