System Automation

Our automation components—PLCs, robots, VFDs, touch screens, sensors, and more—can be programmed to create an efficient and reliable integrated solution. This new system, along with your existing networked control systems, can be linked together to provide complete visibility, real-time status and control, historical logging, and reporting.

​

WHY AUTOMATE?

Reduce Downtime

• Upgrade or retrofit existing machinery controls to reduce process downtime.

• Minimize breakdowns by identifying potential component failures.

• Simplify predictive and preventative maintenance processes.

• Quickly identify and display machinery failure points.

​

Improve Quality

• Manage rapidly changing production and process data.

• Conduct real-time production tests on products and equipment.

• Track out-of-tolerance materials, products, and scrap.

• Detect labeling or part defects using Keyence machine vision technology.

​

Increase Productivity

• Boost throughput, increase production rates, minimize waste, and reduce errors.

• Simplify machine operations and reduce setup times.

• Reduce cycle times and work-in-progress while increasing inventory turns.

• Optimize production to meet forecasts and improve machine utilization and ergonomics.

​

Enhance Safety

• Enhance operator awareness and response.

• Improve control system integrity and security.

• Isolate hazardous areas and implement effective machine guarding and controls.

​

Reduce Energy Cost

• Lower energy consumption and demand peaks.

• Accurately monitor energy usage.

• Ensure balanced distribution systems.
