New factory from movement specialists will focus on A.I.
Birmingham, Alabama's Motion Industries, Inc., the distributor of MRO replacement parts and a premier provider of industrial technology solutions, announced Motion Ai’s new and extensive facility (pictured below), which officially opened on June 1, 2022. The address is 7350 Golden Triangle Drive, Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
When Motion Industries founded it Motion Ai division in 2015, it was a strong indicator of the stock being placed in the emerging area of artificial intelligence as it relates to automated processes and machine learning. Finishing the Minnesota facility cements Motion's confidence in that trend.
As an industrial automation solution provider, Motion Ai needed a larger space for their growing business, per an email from the company's Brenda Miller. The new 105,000 square-foot premises features a gain of 55,000 square feet over the old location, which was also in Eden Prairie. The larger space allows for integrated use, including a regional sales and support center, classrooms for employee and customer training, a regional fulfillment center, assembly and fabrication shops, a proof-of-concept design area, and engineering labs for customer product and demonstration engagement.
In addition, Motion Ai capabilities at this facility include large conveyor system builds, complete automation system builds, robotic and machine vision solutions, expanded pneumatic and machine control solutions, machining, welding, and more comprehensive value-added offerings, per Miller's email.
