We have over 150 years of combined experience designing, building, and deploying manufacturing monitoring systems, let us bring this to bear on your problems.
Because of our LADDERS products we have worked with every major Programmable Controller in the world at some point. We've seen it all and can make recommendations based on that experience.
We've been developing manufacturing related software applications since 1983. In almost every language your can think of, and some you've never heard of. We can build your Application in the language and environment of your choice, we have favorites of course.
We have been doing software application and deployment training since 1983. A lot has changed in the decades since we started except one thing: People. You have to meet the user where they are and bring them to a place of comfort with the solution and their tasks.
A system that is not deployed for the customer is not finished. Some will do a 'pilot deployment' call it done and walk away, telling the customer: "You're free to complete the deployment at your own pace". That's not customer support, that is not a finished system. Systems are developed to solve a problem, to reap benefits for the customer... that only happens when the solution deployment is 100% complete, wall-to-wall.
The most time consuming part of the deployment process for any system... gather requirements. When manufacturing something as complex as an automobile or truck the data comes from many groups, lots of different sources. Only experienced people should perform this step, knowing the questions to ask, and the problems that may arise, ensures the correct data is collected.

read moreWith proper 'gather' and 'analysis' this step is best left to experts in the target applications. It should be straight forward and simple data transfer, if the target applications are designed around the End User.

"If a human being is involved in configuring,
then everything configured must be tested".
We all make mistakes. If you enter data into a configurable software system and you do not perform a System Acceptance Test (SAT) and User Acceptance Test (UAT) then you will be forced to find the mistakes during production, where downtime can cost millions of dollars an hour.
