Our Services & Capabilities

We work in many different industries, including food and beverage, industrial chemical packaging, automotive, energy transmission, and printing.  In recent years, we have focused on helping our customers decrease overhead and overcome personnel shortages by automating end-of-line processes via robotic sorters and palletizers.  Worker safety is of utmost importance in any of our designs.  We have extensive knowledge integrating cutting edge safety scanners, light curtains, presence sensors and guarding to make your process safe while at the same time preventing bottle necks or other points of frustration for your employees.

We have experience with most major brands of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), HMI (Human Machine Interface), Vision, Sensors and Robots.  Below are a few of our favorite.  We have found that our domestic customers usually like Allen-Bradley and our international customers prefer Siemens.  We have a growing base of customers using other brands of equipment with great success as well.  The goal of our engineered systems is to provide our clients with thoughtful processes and efficient, well-documented logic that is easy to troubleshoot and highly reliable.  We like to work with new hardware and expand our repertoire, and thus appreciate our clients letting us know about new products and systems to use.

We have partnered with several machine builders and fabricators in our area to provide our customers with turn-key solutions.  Working with our clients, we can handle new machinery builds, rebuilds, relocation and upgrades and updates to existing machinery.
