Hira Automation Pvt. Ltd., a leading innovator in industrial automation solutions, Established in 2007, Hira Automation initially focused on specialized applications before transitioning to standardized industrial solutions. The company has since developed a strong portfolio across three key business verticals: CNC and conventional machine tool applications, handling automation, and automation components. With a commitment to optimizing manufacturing efficiency and reducing dependency on skilled labor, Hira Automation has become a trusted partner for industries seeking cost-effective automation solutions.
One of the major breakthroughs by Hira Automation is the Precision Compact Drilling Machine (PCDM), an advanced solution designed to bridge the gap between expensive VMC machines and conventional drilling machines that require skilled operators. The company’s PCDM 1 and PCDM 2 models offer a fully automated drilling solution that is cost-effective, compact, and highly precise. These machines significantly reduce per-piece costs while enhancing productivity, making them a preferred choice for fabrication and machining industries. The machines will be showcased at Metal Forming Expo 2025, highlighting their ability to streamline operations in sheet metal manufacturing.
Hira Automation’s second core business area is handling automation, a segment that addresses critical challenges faced by the laser cutting industry. The company has developed an advanced sheet-handling system that automates the loading and unloading of large metal sheets onto laser cutting machines. This innovation eliminates the need for manual handling, which is often time-consuming and labor-intensive, even when EOT cranes are available. By implementing Hira’s automation systems, manufacturers can maximize machine utilization, improve efficiency, and reduce operational costs.
With sheet sizes ranging from 3 meters by 1.5 meters to 2 meters by 4 meters, manual handling poses significant productivity constraints. Hira Automation’s solution streamlines the process, ensuring seamless operation and minimizing downtime. This technology is particularly beneficial for companies investing heavily in laser-cutting machinery but struggling with material handling inefficiencies.
Strategic Collaborations and Market Expansion
The third pillar of Hira Automation’s business model focuses on automation components, including modular linear motion slides and other automation-ready solutions. These components cater to manufacturers of laser cutting, sheet metal bending, and other industrial machines, offering seamless integration with existing equipment. By providing plug-and-play automation modules, Hira Automation enables machine manufacturers to enhance their offerings without investing in custom-built solutions, thereby accelerating time-to-market and reducing development costs.
Hira Automation has established strategic partnerships with major industry players such as Amada, Salvagnini, and LVD, strengthening its position as a key automation provider in India. These collaborations allow machine manufacturers to incorporate cost-effective automation solutions into their products, addressing the price sensitivity of the Indian market. While imported handling systems can cost upwards of ₹1.5 crore, Hira Automation delivers equally efficient solutions at a fraction of the cost, typically ranging between ₹60 to ₹65 lakh, with full installation and extended warranty support.
The company has previously participated in industry-leading exhibitions such as Automation Expo at NESCO and Mahatech, gaining valuable exposure and expanding its client base. Metal Forming Expo 2025 marks Hira Automation’s first participation in the forming sector, aiming to connect with metalworking businesses, machine manufacturers, and end users looking to optimize their production processes.
As Hira Automation continues to expand, its primary focus remains on optimizing operations across industries by reducing manual dependency, enhancing machine efficiency, and improving productivity. The company aligns with India’s “Make in India” initiative, aiming to reduce reliance on imported automation solutions and strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities. By addressing key operational challenges, Hira Automation seeks to contribute to India’s goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy by fostering self-sufficiency in industrial automation.
