There is an entire industry for making all sorts of automation equipment, companies big and large, must be tens of thousands of reasonably sized ones out there and many times more of tiny ones. From two men garage enterprises to some of the biggest companies in the world. Many manufacturing companies also make some of their own equipment instead of buying it all.

In many cases it’s not really that difficult, most of what you need you can accomplish by buying the rights parts and putting it together like sort of an industrial lego. What you really need to make it work is a team of engineers. You need to figure out the mechanics, the electrical part and the software. How big a team you need depends on timeframe and complexity of the machine, in some cases it can be one guy doing it all, or the other extreme you can have a gigantic global enterprise if you are doing something really big.

If you really want to see details maybe you can find some industrial fair or something. There are the big ones like Hannover Messe, that one has some 6000ish companies exhibiting their products, but I’m guessing most countries have something smaller scale locally.
