Integrated Systems Design supports made-in-America supply chains

Integrated Systems Design (ISD), system integrator and warehouse automation OEM, has initiated new partnerships with U.S. companies. The Made-in-America strategy is a response to mounting concerns over international supply chain vulnerabilities.

ISD acknowledges that contemporary enterprises face escalating challenges stemming from protracted international supply chains, geopolitical instabilities and pandemic-induced disruptions. ISD's approach eliminates dependency on overseas manufacturing networks, establishing robust domestic partnerships that guarantee supply chain continuity and operational predictability. "Patriotism transcends sentiment—it embodies strategic wisdom," declares Ed Romaine, vice president marketing at ISD. "Our domestic manufacturing alliances eliminate intercontinental shipping delays, customs complications, and communication barriers that perpetually plague international sourcing strategies."

ISD’s portfolio of automation technologies is sources exclusively from the following manufacturers:

• UltraStore Mid-Load ASRS optimizes mid-range applications requiring high-density storage coupled with lightning-fast retrieval capabilities. It also offers technical support, expedited software updates and streamlined system modifications.
• Kardex Remstar Vertical Lift Modules maximize storage capacities through vertical storage optimization and deliver requested inventory directly to ergonomic workstations.
• URBX ASRS are modular, scalable systems that adapt seamlessly to evolving operational requirements, featuring real-time optimization algorithms that maintain peak performance regardless of fluctuating demand patterns.
• Raymond Material Handling Equipment products encompass traditional counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, order pickers and specialized narrow-aisle equipment designed for high-density storage environments.
• Reflex Robotics introduces humanoid automation, founded by MIT alumni with experience from Tesla, Boston Dynamics and Amazon. Reflex delivers cost-effective warehouse and manufacturing general-purpose affordable robotics achieving operational capability within sixty minutes of deployment.

The other benefits of the Made in America approach beyond equipment procurement eliminating shipping vulnerability, port congestion delays and customs complications. Quality assurance is enhanced because domestic manufacturers operate under stringent regulatory frameworks.
