Our team had a great night at Art in Residence.
Creative York's annual fall fundraiser took over Investment Real Estate in downtown York, and this year's theme — Studies & Sketches — was about the part of art most people never see: the first marks, the rough draft, the idea before it works.
Artists painted live, start to finish, in 20 minutes. Works came out of private collections. There was an auction, raffles, and a lot of good conversation.
Congratulations to this year's honoree, Rob Evans.
And thank you to Creative York for having us. Everything raised goes back into art classes, scholarships and free programs for people all over York County.
Supporting our local arts community matters to us. York is a better place to live and work because of the people who make things here — and that includes the people making art.

Some things are bigger than business.
This past weekend, members of the JLS Automation team volunteered at the Bridge Building Festival supporting Building Bridges For Brianna, a York County-based nonprofit working to raise awareness of su***de prevention and mental health while connecting individuals and families with support and resources.
The festival brought together community organizations, families and supporters around an important cause.
We're grateful to our team members who showed up, and especially thankful to Building Bridges for Brianna and everyone who helped make the day possible. 💙
Supporting the communities where we live and work matters to us.
The beauty of a cheeseburger is its simplicity. Getting thousands of frozen patties packed and on their way to the grill is anything but.
Happy National Cheeseburger Day! 🍔
The machine in this video is our Patty Hawk, built for the frozen line. It picks up stacks of frozen patties and loads them into cases at more than 1,000 patties a minute — in a cold, wet room where most equipment struggles.
Today we're thinking about the production teams who keep those lines running. Behind every burger on a grill this weekend is a shift that made it happen.
However you're having yours — enjoy it.

Twenty-five years.
Forty lines, one for each passenger and crew member of Flight 93. Each line represents a life. The length, their age.
All of them cut short in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
We remember them.

💜 TODAY: the bloodmobile is parked outside JLS Automation until 3:00 PM.
20 Innovation Drive, York. Open to everyone, not just employees. Walk-ins welcome, no appointment needed. Just bring a photo ID. Takes about an hour, start to finish.
There are still open chairs, and every unit collected today goes to a local hospital. If you're nearby and have a lunch break to spare, this is a good use of it.
Donors leave with a certificate for a free half-dozen from Maple Donuts (hurry, limited quantities). Hosted with Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank.
Know someone in York who could come by this afternoon? Tag them. 💜

Most people never see what happens before food reaches the shelf.
Behind many everyday products are food-safety professionals, sanitation teams, operators, engineers—and JLS automation—working together to help protect product integrity.
By reducing manual product contact and supporting sanitary production, our systems help food producers make safe, high-quality food available at scale.
This National Food Safety Education Month, we’re proud to recognize everyone helping protect our food supply.

This Labor Day, we're thinking about the hands.
We're celebrating the people whose skill, care and pride keep production moving — from the JLS team that builds and supports our automation to the customers and operators who put it to work every day.
Thank you for everything you do. Have a safe and well-earned Labor Day.
Our office will be closed Monday, September 7. We'll be back Tuesday.
September is National Chicken Month! Around here, that's practically a company holiday. 🐔
There's a decent chance the tray of chicken in your fridge right now was packed by a machine we built.
Our team in York, Central PA builds the robotic systems that load raw chicken into trays, packs and cases at food plants across North America. Wet, cold, slippery, never the same shape twice — that's the hard part of the job. It's also the part our engineers have spent their careers solving.
Made to get wet. Built to be cleaned. Built here in York, PA.
So next time you're standing in the poultry aisle, look at how neatly those breasts are lined up in the tray and the clean rows of chicken sausages in their packs.
That's not luck. That's engineering — and there's a good chance the people who did it live down the road from you.

Wheelbarrows instead of robots for a day.
Some of our team spent a day at Leg Up Farm in Mount Wolf — hauling, cleaning and pitching in wherever they were needed. It's a therapy center for children and adults with disabilities and unique challenges, just up the road from our shop in York.
Thank you for having us.
