Industries We Serve
Automation, robotics, AI, and IoT for manufacturing, warehousing, retail, smart buildings, research, and small business across Canada.
Practical automation, robotics, machine vision, and IoT engineered for the realities of your sector — integrated with the systems and equipment you already run, for businesses across Canada. The details differ by industry, but the pattern is the same: find the highest-impact, lowest-risk place to start, prove it on your real operation, then scale.
Industries we serve
- Manufacturing Automation — Vision inspection, robotics, and monitoring engineered onto your existing line.
- Warehouse & Logistics Robotics — Mobile robots, robotic handling, and vision integrated into your warehouse.
- Retail & E-commerce AI Automation — AI agents for orders, support, and back-office automation.
- Smart Buildings & IoT — Custom sensing, connectivity, and dashboards for facilities and buildings.
- Research & Prototyping — Custom rigs, sensors, and prototypes to test research ideas fast.
- Small Business Automation — Practical AI and workflow automation scoped for smaller teams and budgets.
Common business problems we solve
- Manual, repetitive work that does not scale as you grow
- Defects, errors, or equipment downtime caught too late
- Data trapped in systems and spreadsheets that do not talk to each other
- Off-the-shelf products that do not fit your real process or environment
- A promising idea that needs proving before it can attract budget or buy-in
Map a problem to a service
Where to start
Automation works best when it begins at a single, high-pain, high-volume task with a measurable goal — a defect escape rate, a throughput figure, an amount of downtime, or hours of manual work. We prove the return there before scaling across the operation, which keeps the initial cost and risk low. Because we integrate with the equipment and software you already run, you rarely need to replace what already works.
5Tech serves businesses across Canada from the Vancouver, BC area, and works across robotics, AI, software, hardware, and mechanics. That range means one accountable partner can take a whole problem — sensing, motion, control, and data — instead of leaving you to coordinate separate vendors. We start small, prove the return on one high-impact task, and scale only when the numbers justify it, so automation stays affordable and low-risk even for smaller operations.
Frequently asked questions
Do you only work in these industries?
No. These are the sectors we see most often, but our engineering is cross-disciplinary — if your operation has a physical or data problem worth automating, it is worth a conversation.
Where should we start with automation?
Usually with a single high-pain, high-volume task and a measurable goal. We prove value there before scaling across the operation.
Can you integrate with our existing equipment and software?
Yes. Integration with the systems you already own is core to how we work, across robotics, vision, sensors, and dashboards.
Do you work with small and mid-sized businesses?
Yes. We scope automation to the operation and budget, so smaller teams can start with one station, robot, or workflow and expand from there.
