At the heart of our newest fabrication facility in McGregor, TX is a fully automated robotics line from Lincoln Electric/Zeman which we helped design to meet our unique needs. This first-of-its-kind system scans, sorts, assembles, and welds highly detailed steel components for metal buildings with unmatched accuracy. Every part is tracked and allocated to the right project, and advanced modeling technology identifies and solves potential design flaws before they ever reach the fabrication floor. For our clients, this means fewer delays, more precision, and even higher quality.

Skilled Experts + Cutting-Edge Technology = Precision Results

While robotics help streamline labor-intensive processes, our success depends on the skilled professionals who oversee and fine-tune these systems. As Michael Lassner, President and CEO of Allied Steel Buildings, explains:

“While technology and automation are essential for us to stay on the cutting edge, it’s our highly skilled people who make this innovation possible. Our team members are doing more than operating machines; they are the experts who train, manage, and fine-tune these systems to ensure they deliver the quality and precision our clients expect.”

By reducing repetitive manual tasks, automation frees our workforce to focus on higher-value skills and it allows us to meet rising demand without sacrificing quality. In fact, our McGregor workforce has grown by 30%, showing how innovation can create opportunities rather than replace them.

Faster Timelines and Higher Precision

Robotics and automation do more than improve how we fabricate steel; they transform what our clients experience. On the floor we’re seeing drastic improvements across the entire fabrication process. By the numbers, this impact is significant, resulting in a:

• 500% increase in assembly production efficiency
• 90% reduction in parts handling and sorting time
• 50% increase in welding efficiency
• 90–95% reduction in assembly errors
• 75% reduction in crane use

These efficiencies directly translate into shorter timelines, more predictable budgets, and superior products.

Building for the Future

The success of McGregor is shaping Allied’s future. We’ve already expanded similar automation into our facility in Spain to align both factories and provide consistent quality worldwide. We’re also investing in a second robotics system in McGregor to broaden our capabilities beyond primary steel, giving clients even more flexibility, reliability, and value. This initiative is important to us because we believe innovation is the key to helping our clients achieve their goals. By combining robotics, automation, and skilled expertise we’re setting the standard for what steel building manufacturing can be.

Every project we take on is unique and often complex but when our internal teams approach challenges as a united front and align on goals from day one, we can ensure that every detail is executed with precision and care.

We approach how we work with our clients in the same way. We believe that the best outcomes come when they are brought into the fold early and often, which is why we take a consultative approach, involving them throughout the planning and execution processes with open dialogue that aligns our capabilities with their visions. Over the years, this is how we’ve earned trust and fostered partnerships that last well beyond project completion.

Powering Teamwork Through Technology

Recognizing that successful collaboration requires the right infrastructure, we recently launched our own enterprise resource planning system, A360. At its core, A360 connects every department and critical tool under one cohesive system. It integrates best-in-class software, like MBS for estimating, Zoho CRM for client relationships, STRUMIS for fabrication, and Tekla for BIM modeling into a unified platform. By doing so, A360 provides real-time visibility, streamlines communication, and improves coordination across every phase of the project lifecycle.

By bridging gaps between departments and eliminating inefficiencies caused by siloed systems, A360 empowers our teams to work faster and smarter. For example, the integration between Zoho CRM and our scheduler ensures that sales timelines seamlessly align with project scheduling, allowing for a smoother transition from proposal to production. Fabrication schedules now automatically reflect real-time project updates, which keeps everything running on track, from engineering deliverables to final delivery.

Importantly, A360 was developed by cross-functional teams representing every part of our business. Sales, engineering, operations, logistics, and IT came together to build a system that not only meets their individual needs but enhances how they work together. It’s a shining example of Allied’s commitment to teamwork, innovation, and continuous improvement.

Collaboration at the Core of Automation

Our focus on collaboration extends to our manufacturing floor, especially as we adopt advanced robotics and automation. Robotics are integral to our fabrication process at both of our facilities and as Vice President of Engineering Franz Mutiz explains, that requires a new level of coordination between engineering, detailing, and manufacturing teams.

“Automation changes how we design and plan. It forces us to think not just about how a building should perform, but how each piece will be produced and assembled,” Mutiz says. “To get it right, our teams have to work in lockstep, from concept to final weld.”

Building Better, Together

At Allied, collaboration is what keeps projects moving, teams aligned, and clients satisfied. It’s how we’ve been able to tackle some of the industry’s most complex challenges and deliver consistently exceptional results. From developing and implementing new technologies like A360 to the day-to-day partnerships between our departments and clients, collaboration is the engine that drives our success. By continuing to invest in tools and processes that support this culture, we’re not only improving project execution—we’re building partnerships that, like our buildings, are designed to stand the test of time.

At Allied, innovation is in our DNA and being at the forefront of technology is how we operate. We are relentless about improving our processes and operations across our organization, and recently embraced the benefits of employing robotics and automation in assembly and welding processes at our fabrication facilities. In true Allied fashion, we didn’t stop at adopting advanced systems, we collaborated with Zeman and Lincoln Electric to modify robotics systems to meet our unique needs, proving once again that we’re not limited by how things have traditionally been done.

Facing pandemic-driven labor shortages in 2020 and after, Allied’s leadership sought out a way to make our teams and fabrication processes more efficient. While much of the metal building industry continues to operate with tried and tested practices that have worked for hundreds of years, we saw an opportunity to borrow from the successes of the structural steel industry: namely, leveraging robotics systems for applications in pre-engineered metal building fabrication.

Though we are still learning from this integration, robotics and automation have significantly enhanced the quality and efficiency of our operations. These systems provide unmatched consistency in our assembly and welding processes, ensuring precision and reliability in every product. By integrating digital data transfer, we’ve also improved traceability and planning, allowing us to streamline workflows and better meet client demands.

Beyond efficiency, this innovation has improved safety across our facilities. By automating labor-intensive tasks like welding, we’ve greatly reduced the number of man-hours required for these operations compared to other steel manufacturing facilities. In addition to boosting productivity, this has led to a safer workplace for our team, all while maintaining a high standard of quality.

The impact of these innovations is clear:

• 500% increase in assembly production efficiency, enabling us to meet growing client demand with faster turnaround times.
• 90% reduction in parts handling and sorting time
• 40% gain in assembly production time
• 50% increase in welding efficiency

At Allied Steel Buildings, our culture of innovation has been one of our defining qualities since day one. Fueled by leadership decisions that encourage experimentation, embracing new technologies, and implementing scalable solutions, we have grown over the years by constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible within our industry. This mindset is what lead us to dive headfirst into fabrication in 2021, open our second manufacturing facility— complete with a first-of-its-kind robotics and automation line— last year, and take on so many of our clients’ projects that required a fresh new way of looking at things. In short, we credit so much of our successes and growth to outside-the-box thinking, creating solutions tailored to our needs- no matter how big or small those may be.

Allied’s ERP System

This year we’ve got our sights set on revolutionizing our operations, enhancing our client experience, and settings new standards in steel manufacturing. Over the past year, we made significant investments in internal innovation, including in the development of our own Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system— Allied 360 (A360).

At it’s core, the custom-built system is an integration of various operations-critical tools and software, that together create an ecosystem of seamless communication across every part of the business. Currently this includes features for streamlining document management and communication, optimizing cash flow analysis, more accurate capacity calculating, freight tracking, and a customer portal that simplifies requests for information and change orders amongst other things. As with everything we do, the entire system was designed to improve project execution and ultimately enhance client satisfaction. The end result so far: increased visibility both across our organization and for our clients, increased efficiency, and most importantly, an improved customer experience.

From a cross-functional perspective, the system’s integration of various tools and programs has already reduced silos that previously existed between departments, and allows for smoother scheduling between sales, project management, and operations.

In addition to reducing silos, A360 was designed to streamline and automate workflows across the organization, providing end-to-end visibility from sales through delivery. By centralizing our operations, we’re creating a unified platform that captures and measures efficiency at every step, allowing us to identify and resolve issues quickly and pivot as necessary.

Data Driven

A360 is also facilitating the move towards a more data-driven culture. By capturing real-time data across all stages of a project, we’re gaining visibility into performance metrics, empowering our team to make data-driven decisions. This visibility allows us to proactively identify bottlenecks or challenges and implement solutions before they escalate. Looking ahead, collected data can be used for predictive or preventative maintenance for our robotics system, computer vision— which can be used to identify faults or variations to standard components, and even for machine learning to optimize our supply chain with logistics.

To maximize the value of A360, we brought together cross-functional teams from sales, engineering, operations, manufacturing, logistics and IT and built a system that is tailored to the specific needs of each department. This collaborative effort not only fosters innovation but also strengthens our culture of teamwork and continuous improvement. By equipping our team with cutting-edge tools and processes, we’re positioning Allied to remain at the forefront of the steel manufacturing industry.

Looking ahead, A360 will be a cornerstone of our strategy to scale efficiently, improve accountability, and deliver superior results to our clients. It’s a prime example of how Allied invests in innovation to drive progress and set new standards in the industry.

What Is Building Information Modeling?

BIM is a centralized approach for generating and managing digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of buildings. By centralizing project data in a shared digital environment, BIM lends to a collaborative and iterative process that allows multiple stakeholders (architects, engineers, contractors, and clients) to work on a single unified 3D model. Notably, BIM creates a single source of truth that enables teams to produce accurate drawings, coordinate across disciplines, and update designs in real time.

To facilitate collaboration across a variety of disciplines, BIM allows stakeholders to create and maintain independent models dedicated to their specific scopes, before integrating them into a comprehensive 3D representation of the building. By tracking, documenting, and communicating changes, and applying them to a single unified model, BIM eliminates the need to manually review hundreds of individual drawings for changes and significantly reduces the risk of errors, delays, and unnecessary expense. Many BIM programs also feature tools that automatically detect clashes between different systems (e.g., mechanical, electrical, plumbing) reducing costly on-site conflicts and rework during construction.

Allied’s Expertise in BIM

Allied’s journey with BIM began years ago, but it has recently become a cornerstone of our operations. Whereas previously only a small fraction of our projects leveraged BIM, since 2020 it has become integral to the success of more than half of our projects—a reflection of increasing client demand and industry adoption. In no small way, BIM plays an essential role in supporting the customized solutions that our team develops to meet the specific needs of each of our projects.

Leading the Industry with Innovation

Allied’s longstanding commitment to BIM has positioned us as a leader in the design and fabrication of complex steel buildings. Clients are increasingly seeking out our ability to provide 3D models during the design phase, a service that is still somewhat limited within the industry today. These models not only streamline coordination but also serve as powerful visualization tools. The ability to simulate and visualize the physical space ensures that our clients fully understand how their buildings will look and function before construction begins.

“Increasingly we’re finding that our client’s value the ability to virtually walk through their buildings, visualize their final product, and provide feedback early in the process. Being able to work with 3D models provides a major enhancement to our client experience.” – Franz Mutis, Allied Vice President of Engineering

Realizing Tangible Benefits

By leveraging BIM, Allied delivers numerous advantages to its clients:

• Reduced Errors and Costs: 3D modelling provides detailed and accurate representations of our projects, minimizing errors and inconsistencies. By incorporating data on geometry, materials, costs, and schedules, BIM makes it easier to identify and address potential issues before construction begins and avoid expensive fixes later in the project lifecycle.
• Improved Collaboration and Communication: Cloud-based 3D modelling allows for real-time communication and coordination among all stakeholders.
• Enhanced Speed and Efficiency: BIM can significantly reduce redundancy and duplication of efforts by integrating information into a single source of truth. In addition to streamlining the collaborative process this can significantly reduce project timelines.
• Custom Solutions: By facilitating collaboration, our 3D modelling process enables custom solutions that meet unique and specific project requirements.
• Client Satisfaction: Virtual walkthroughs and real-time updates enhance the client experience, ensuring transparency and confidence in the final product.
