Automation Controls & Engineering, LLC
Michigan Level 3 FANUC Authorized Integrator building custom automation and test systems for automotive, battery/EV, off-highway, and military sectors.
Automation Controls & Engineering, LLC (ACE) is a Michigan-based custom automation systems integrator and manufacturer specializing in assembly, material handling, inspection, and test equipment. Headquartered at 1045 Durant Drive, Howell, Michigan 48843, ACE operates an additional facility in Jackson, Michigan (829 Belden Road), and in Rochester Hills, totaling approximately 235,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
ACE holds Level Three FANUC Authorized Systems Integrator status and is an Exclusive FANUC Robot supplier, distinguishing it as one of the highest-credentialed FANUC integrators in the Midwest. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, demonstrating its commitment to quality management across all design and manufacturing operations.
The company serves customers in four primary industries: Automotive, Battery and Electric Vehicles, Off-Highway equipment, and Military/Defense. ACE's engineering team includes mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic engineers with decades of cross-disciplinary experience who guide projects from initial concept through installation and long-term support.
ACE's project lifecycle begins with application engineering and customer collaboration to define goals and specifications, proceeds through concept development and proposal, feasibility testing and prototyping, detailed mechanical and controls design (reviewed with customers in bi-weekly meetings), shop-floor assembly and runoff, and concludes with installation and sustained post-deployment support.
In October 2024, Michigan Custom Machines (MCM) merged its operations and workforce into ACE, significantly expanding the company's headcount and capabilities. As of early 2026, ACE employs approximately 45 professionals. The company positions itself as offering the financial stability and capability breadth of a large integrator with the flexibility and low overhead of a smaller firm, translating to shorter lead times and more cost-effective custom solutions.
