Ashley Furniture Automation Lab

Arcadia, WI

The Automation building was built to serve two functions. First, for the development of proprietary robotics and related process automation for use on the assembly floor. Second, to groom the next generation of process engineers with real life exposure within a manufacturing environment.

The 21,700 SF ultra-modern steel framed facility includes office space, a conference room, elevator, mezzanine with large window for views of the factory floor, staff and visitor restrooms, break rooms and the factory floor where the high-tech machining and welding equipment lives. The entire facility is environmentally controlled using the latest energy savings heating and cooling equipment.   Additionally, there is a truck bay where Ashley can store their custom-built portable classroom semi-trailer used when visiting regional high schools as part of their commitment to education.
