Buffalo to Albany, out of one shop in the Finger Lakes
TMD builds automation for manufacturers across Upstate New York — roughly 300 miles east to west — and travels the wider Northeast for projects that justify the run.12 markets have their own page below, grouped by how close they actually are, because a shop twenty minutes away and a shop two hours away are not selling the same thing.
Home range — the Finger Lakes
The corridor the shop sits in. Close enough that an assessment happens in person before anything is quoted, and close enough that support two years later is a visit rather than a ticket.
Seneca Falls, NY
Seneca Falls and Seneca County sit in the middle of the Finger Lakes manufacturing base: food and beverage processing, metal fabrication, and the machine shops that support them.

Automation in Seneca Falls →Honeoye Falls, NY
Honeoye Falls sits in the Rochester metro's southern tier, where precision machining, fabrication and specialty manufacturing cluster along the Route 65 and I-390 corridor.

Automation in Honeoye Falls →Geneva, NY
Geneva anchors the north end of Seneca Lake, with food and beverage processing, packaging and light manufacturing across Ontario and Seneca counties.

Automation in Geneva →Waterloo, NY
Waterloo sits between Seneca Falls and Geneva on the Route 5 & 20 corridor, with the food processing, packaging and fabrication operations that run through Seneca County.

Automation in Waterloo →Auburn, NY
Auburn and Cayuga County carry a long industrial manufacturing base — fabrication, plastics, food processing and the supply chain around them.

Automation in Auburn →Canandaigua, NY
Canandaigua sits at the top of its lake in Ontario County, between the Finger Lakes processing base and the Rochester metro — food and beverage, packaging, and precision fabrication.

Newark and the Wayne County corridor along Route 31 carry food processing, agricultural products handling, packaging and metal fabrication.

The largest manufacturing bases in the footprint, and where most of the inbound comes from. Full service, inside the normal run.
Rochester, NY
Rochester carries one of Upstate New York's deepest manufacturing bases: optics and imaging, precision machining, food and beverage, packaging and contract manufacturing, spread across Monroe County from Henrietta and Greece out to Victor and Fairport.

Automation in Rochester →Syracuse, NY
Syracuse and Onondaga County sit at the I-81 and I-90 crossing, with industrial manufacturing, food and beverage, distribution and the fabrication shops that feed them.

Automation in Syracuse →Extended range
Real work, further out. These are planned projects rather than same-day visits, and the drive is stated up front instead of hidden in a line item — an integrator pretending to be local two hours away is a problem you find out about at commissioning.
Buffalo, NY
Buffalo and Erie County hold one of the state's largest manufacturing concentrations — metal fabrication, automotive supply, food processing and heavy industrial.

Automation in Buffalo →Cortland, NY
Cortland sits on the I-81 corridor south of Syracuse, with industrial manufacturing, plastics, food production and the machine shops supporting them.

Albany and the Capital Region carry advanced manufacturing, semiconductor supply chain, food production and specialty fabrication along the I-87 and I-90 corridors.

The town pages above are where TMD is close enough to be local. The working radius is larger: New York State in full, and the states that border it. A machine that pays for itself is worth the drive, and the drive is the part that gets said out loud.

Out-of-state work gets quoted with the travel in the open: mobilization, on-site days and return visits are line items you can see, never absorbed into an hourly rate that quietly grows.
Where the work has actually gone
MassachusettsPennsylvaniaOhioGeorgiaColorado
Not a radius — a record. TMD has delivered work in each of these, and two of them are nowhere near the Northeast. A machine built in Seneca Castle has been installed and commissioned most of the way across the country, which is a more useful thing to know than any promise about how far we travel.
What decides an out-of-state job is rarely the miles. It is whether it is scoped well enough that commissioning is a planned block of days instead of a string of trips — the same discipline that makes the near work go smoothly. And if what you actually need is somebody who can stand on your floor within the hour on a bad morning, that is a fair reason to hire a shop in your own state; we will say so on the call.
The same headings everywhere
Nothing is withheld by distance. Most real jobs cross two or three of these and get quoted as one project.
- Robot integration & programmingTake the bottleneck off the line
- Vision systems & quality controlCatch the defect before it ships
- Material handling systemsMove the product, not the people
- Safety systems & complianceGuarded, and still fast
- Control panel fabricationBuilt in the same shop that programs them
- Robotic arc welding & weld fixturesEvery weld the same as the last one
