The Factory Automation System Integrator

Use a System Integrator for More Complex Projects

For the larger and more complex projects, it is recommended to hire an integrator.

What is a Systems Integrator?
My idea of one, is as follows - Can be large or small, regarding number of employees, but must be very strong, in the areas of mechanical engineering and systems programming. Don't be alarmed, if you notice an empty plant, when you visit a potential supplier. The integrator's business is such that the plant can be full at one moment and empty a day later (After shipping a system).

The selection of one, to suit you and your project, is probably, the most important decision, to be made. A close, working relationship with you and your people is essential.

The systems integrator, brings unique experience and knowledge to a project, without adding to the payroll.

Look at the company's organization, the process development capabilities and prior similar experience.

Are the potential companies located close by? If they are, then service and assistance later are simpler to arrange.

Many times, a good integrator, will suggest part changes, to improve the automation process. The savings realized, from some of these suggestions, can be considerable, as well as applying to future projects.

Establishing a long term relationship, with a good organization, can be very beneficial to your company and contribute directly to the bottom line.
