Industrial automation is any automation that is performed in manufacturing environments.  At least  that is how we define it.  Industrial automation typically includes PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), custom machine builds, electrical designs, error proofing processes, and many others.

How Can We Help You?

If you are like everyone else, your staff is so busy they don't know if they are coming or going.  Using Innovative Problem Solvers allows you to leverage our experience to:

  • Design custom machines. We are not currently able to fabricate the machine in-house, but can provide pricing from a fabrication partner, or our design can be sent to fabricators that you are familiar with and we can work with them to integrate the system.
  • Write a custom piece of software for your PLC.
  • Edit your PLC program to incorporate a new method or process.
  • On-site troubleshooting for electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic systems.
  • Training for your staff on various topics related to industry. Electricity, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, and Troubleshooting.

This allows you to outsource some of your engineering tasks and make your in-house staff more effective.

How Much Does it Cost?

Pricing depends on the job, obviously.  We don't typically work on a time and material basis; however, we may make exceptions in certain circumstances. 

Contact us today to speak with someone about a project you have in mind.  We will be honest and upfront with you regarding the cost and more importantly if it is a job that is in our wheel house. If it is not something we are comfortable taking on we will refer you to someone who might be able to help, assuming we know someone.
