Custom software and automation for Colorado aerospace and food producers

Colorado's Front Range has quietly built one of the country's stronger aerospace and advanced manufacturing clusters, alongside a food and beverage sector that punches above its weight. Willowark provides Colorado manufacturers with automation, machine vision, and the custom software that connects production to business systems.

We engineer remotely and travel to Colorado for hands-on phases. For companies that need serious engineering depth but not a full-time controls department, that structure keeps projects lean.

How manufacturing runs here

Colorado's industrial base, as we find it.

Colorado hosts a major aerospace and space economy, with Lockheed Martin Space, Ball Aerospace, and a constellation of satellite and launch suppliers along the Front Range. The state is also a leader in food and beverage production, from major brewing operations in Golden and Fort Collins to meat processing in Greeley, with electronics, outdoor products, and energy technology adding depth.

Test automation and data systems for Colorado's aerospace suppliers, plus packaging line automation and vision inspection for its food and beverage producers, are natural fits for our capabilities.

Common questions

Asked by teams in Colorado.

Do you travel to Colorado for on-site work?

Yes. Commissioning, integration, and installation happen on-site at your Colorado facility, with remote engineering carrying the project between visits. We scope travel into the project plan from the start.

Can you build test systems for Colorado aerospace suppliers?

Yes. We design automated test stands, data acquisition software, and traceability systems suited to aerospace quality documentation. Remote software development pairs with on-site integration at your facility.

Can you add inspection or data collection to an existing brewery canning or bottling line?

Usually, yes. Most packaging lines have room for a camera station at the filler, seamer, or labeler, and modern fillers expose enough data that we can pull fill, seam, and reject counts without touching the OEM's control logic. We typically work alongside your line OEM rather than around them, and install during a changeover or cleaning window. Where a line is older or undocumented, we survey it first and tell you what is realistic.
