RedViking

RedViking builds precision-engineered solutions for the most demanding industrial environments, combining automation, software, and rugged hardware to modernize manufacturing at scale. The company’s core offerings include autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), dynamic powertrain testing systems, and the modular Argonaut MES platform. RedViking’s FlexForm AGVs are designed for flexibility and scalability on complex assembly lines, while its custom automation and robotic integration capabilities serve aerospace, defense, EV, and off-highway vehicle manufacturers. In addition to bespoke factory systems, RedViking provides drivetrain and component test stands for R&D and MRO, including high-performance gearboxes and blade balance towers used by clients like NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense.

The company’s business model reflects a hybrid between capital systems integration and solution-as-a-service delivery, offering end-to-end design, build, integration, and lifetime support. While many systems are built to spec and purchased outright, RedViking’s long-term engagements often include custom automation bundled with control software, MES integration, and post-deployment service packages, creating a continuous support structure more typical of hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) models. Their in-house controls, systems engineering, and software development capabilities enable turnkey delivery across facilities worldwide. Following their 2024 acquisition by Lincoln Electric, RedViking now brings its engineering expertise to an even broader range of industries under a unified automation strategy.
