We help food businesses around the world become more efficient and profitable, we have a dedicated team who share knowledge and passion for helping customers meet their requirements.
How it started
When we set up the business in 2006 our aim was very simple – to work hard with like-minded people who enable us to deliver really effective solutions.
Rob Allum, founder of the business, is a guru when it comes to fresh produce; he has delivered solutions to the food industry for 30 years and leads our team.
Who We Work With
We work with people that share our passion for food; from start up businesses through to some of the most well established businesses in the world.
What We Do
We provide equipment, project management and consultancy to the food industry, globally. Improving process efficiencies, reducing labour and maximising profits through automation and out of the box thinking, Projx are market leaders in custom built production lines and automated solutions.
With global experience in process improvements, we design and deliver industrial automation using vision and motion control systems. We are able to deliver stainless steel hygienic, washdown robots including the feed and integration with existing equipment.
Unlike other vendors who offer a system and adapt it for a particular use, we custom design from the ground up based on the exact labour saving application that will achieve the best efficiencies and fasted ROI’s for our clients.
Complete Project Management
We are experienced system integrators and have the advantage that we are able to design complete factory layouts in 3D CAD and for process control we write our own software in-house to deliver a complete project with operator and engineering friendly control panels with data logging including remote support.
Projx Engineering, our Engineering division is based in Linclonshire and offers stainless steel fabrication, mechanical installation services and shift cover.
Projx Automation, our controls and automation division are based in Cambridgeshire designing vision systems and control panels, offering electrical site installations and are experts in robotics.
