Dipesh Patel is the President & CEO of DP Gayatri, partnering with OEMs and Contract Manufacturers to automate and scale operations. A seasoned management consultant and graduate of the UofM Carlson School of Management, he brings strategic leadership to a portfolio of manufacturing and automation companies delivering factory automation, contract assembly, facility relocation and expansion, and supply chain localization across the U.S. and Latin America.

In an industry where precision, scalability, and speed-to-market define competitive advantage, DP Gayatri is taking a decisive step forward. Through a strategic partnership with Kawasaki Robotics (USA), Inc., DP Gayatri is empowering its subsidiary, CSM Robotics, to deliver advanced automation solutions that help manufacturers scale efficiently while maintaining quality and cost control.

This collaboration brings together Kawasaki's decades of robotics expertise with DP Gayatri's proven track record in industrial consulting, automation integration, and contract manufacturing, creating a powerful ecosystem designed to address the evolving challenges of modern manufacturing.

Why This Partnership Matters for North American Manufacturing

Manufacturing is transforming. Labor shortages, nearshoring demands, and supply chain disruptions are forcing companies to rethink how they produce, where they produce, and how quickly they can adapt to market shifts.

Automation is no longer optional—it's essential. But for many manufacturers, the path to automation is complex, requiring not just technology but the right partner who understands both the engineering and the operational realities of production at scale.

That's where the DP Gayatri and Kawasaki Robotics (USA) Inc. partnership comes in.

By integrating Kawasaki's advanced robotic platforms, motion control systems, and automation technology into CSM Robotics' turnkey solutions, this partnership enables manufacturers to access high-performance automation without the typical barriers of cost, complexity, or long implementation timelines.

The result: faster production ramps, improved precision, enhanced ROI, and the agility to respond to changing market demands.

What CSM Robotics Brings to the Table

As a DP Gayatri subsidiary, CSM Robotics specializes in designing and integrating custom robotic automation systems across a range of industrial applications, including:

  • Material Handling – Automated solutions for moving, sorting, and organizing components with speed and precision
  • Paint Applications – Robotic painting systems that deliver consistent finish quality and reduce waste
  • Assembly Automation – Streamlined assembly processes that improve throughput and reduce manual labor dependencies
  • Machine Tending – Automated loading and unloading solutions that keep production lines running continuously

With the addition of Kawasaki's proven robotic technology, CSM Robotics now offers an even more comprehensive suite of automation capabilities—backed by decades of engineering excellence and a commitment to customer success.

  • Comprehensive technical support to ensure seamless integration and long-term performance
  • Ongoing innovation that keeps customers ahead of the curve

This partnership doesn't just add technology—it adds confidence, reliability, and a foundation for sustainable growth.

Addressing the Challenges Facing Manufacturers Today

The partnership between DP Gayatri and Kawasaki Robotics (USA) Inc. is strategically aligned with the key challenges facing North American manufacturers:

Labor Shortages

With skilled labor becoming increasingly difficult to find and retain, automation offers a path to maintain production levels without compromising quality. Robotic systems can handle repetitive, physically demanding, or precision-critical tasks—freeing human workers to focus on higher-value activities.

Nearshoring and Supply Chain Resilience

As companies bring production closer to home, they need partners who can help them scale operations quickly and efficiently. The DP Gayatri ecosystem—spanning consulting, automation, and contract manufacturing—provides end-to-end support for manufacturers navigating nearshoring strategies.

Cost Pressures and ROI Requirements

Investing in automation must deliver measurable returns. CSM Robotics' turnkey approach ensures that robotic systems are designed, integrated, and optimized for maximum productivity and ROI—eliminating the guesswork and reducing time-to-value.

Production Flexibility

Modern manufacturers need the ability to pivot quickly in response to market changes. Robotic automation provides the flexibility to adapt production lines, adjust output levels, and introduce new products without lengthy retooling processes.

A Comprehensive Ecosystem for Manufacturing Success

What sets this partnership apart is how it fits into the broader DP Gayatri ecosystem—a network of companies and capabilities that connect strategy with execution.

DP Gayatri's portfolio includes:

  • Industrial Consulting & Advisory – Guiding manufacturers through automation planning, factory expansion, relocation, and supply chain optimization across the U.S. and Latin America
  • Automation & Robotics (via CSM Robotics) – Designing and integrating robotic systems that drive precision, productivity, and profitability
  • Contract Assembly – Providing full-service mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical assembly for OEMs seeking scalable, high-quality manufacturing capacity

This integrated approach means manufacturers don't need to coordinate between multiple vendors. From initial strategy and automation design to full-scale production and ongoing support, DP Gayatri delivers a seamless experience that accelerates growth and reduces risk.

What This Means for OEMs and Manufacturers

If you're an OEM or industrial manufacturer looking to optimize operations, scale production, or enhance competitiveness, this partnership opens new doors.

Here's what you gain:

  • Access to world-class robotic technology from a trusted global leader
  • Turnkey automation solutions designed specifically for your production needs
  • Faster implementation timelines with expert integration and support
  • Improved productivity and precision that directly impacts your bottom line
  • A single partner who understands the full manufacturing lifecycle—from consulting to production

Whether you're exploring automation for the first time or looking to expand existing capabilities, CSM Robotics—powered by Kawasaki's technology and DP Gayatri's expertise—offers a proven path forward.

Looking Ahead: Driving Automation Adoption Across North America

This partnership reflects a broader vision: making high-performance automation accessible, scalable, and sustainable for manufacturers across North America.

"By aligning with Kawasaki Robotics, we're accelerating our mission to make high-performance automation accessible and scalable," said Dipesh Patel, CEO of DP Gayatri. "Through CSM Robotics, we're combining our engineering and manufacturing expertise with Kawasaki's trusted robotic technology to help customers achieve sustainable growth and production flexibility."
