Testing and Quality Assurance

Sussex is committed to the quality and efficiency of every product we create – that’s why our in-house automation team operates with a proactive approach where every automated process is thoroughly tested and optimized before it enters full-scale production. We leverage technologies such as advanced vision systems to identify any inefficiencies or areas of improvement early in the process.

This approach to automation means our team is not only equipped with the know-how to navigate the technology, but also empowered to harness its full potential. As a result, we enhance production lines while cultivating a culture of innovation and expertise. With Sussex, embracing the future means embracing technology alongside the skilled teams that drive it forward.
