Optimation has provided numerous skid-based systems to a variety of clients in different industries. We specialize in taking a client’s concept, developing the design, and creating final release drawings and specifications that will meet all requirements of the project. From utility needs to small-scale detailed chemical systems for pharmaceutical requirements, we can handle it all. Designs can be developed independently or in close coordination with a client team, and include many engineering disciplines such as structural, mechanical, machine design, material handling and electrical/instrument/control. Optimation carries out the fabrication at its industrial fabrication shops in Rochester, NY. Our shops house a mechanical fabrication and electrical panel shop, automation and assembly services, a crating and shipping department, and field installation mechanics.
