Before the microcontroller,
automation and systems integration were reserved for high-end
manufacturers; everyone else used clipboards, took meter
readings, and tweaked valves by hand. The programmable logic
controller (PLC) and supporting software changed all that,
ushering in an era of rapid automation, and enabling large
productivity gains.
PLCs, operator interfaces and their associated
peripherals are commonplace today, but the systems integration
expertise and resources to design a quality automation
solution are not. Industry acceptance of PLC-based automation
solutions
accounts for the plethora of products that have emerged
to address the broadly diverse body of applications. Applied
Sciences Group has developed the knowledge and expertise
that are essential to successful factory automation and
integration.
Given our extensive real-world, plant-floor
experience with everything from simple loop controllers to
full-scale
Manufacturing
Execution Systems, Applied Sciences Group can provide
solutions that are as simple as adding new functionality
to an existing
line or cell, and as complex as designing a complete,
turnkey factory automation system.
And, we apply our expertise
as an adjunct member of your staff, cooperatively designing,
developing and testing the automated manufacturing
system that is right for your operational requirements
and budget.
Applied Sciences Group can provide an automated
control system solution for virtually any industrial application.
