Automation projects from soup to nuts!

We provide a menu of contract automation services
from soup (the conceptualization of a project)
to nuts (installation and end user training).

You can order a whole meal (comprehensive systematic solutions) or items a la carte (just the user interface or documentation, for example).

     What are you hungry for?

Do you need your idea defined, designed, built, integrated? Choose just what you need and nothing you don't.

Our lean core staff and low overhead are complimented by access to a diverse network. This structure allows economical just-in-time team assembly to prepare your custom solution.

We provide experience you can afford so you can enhance engineering capabilities without adding permanent staff.

We assist our customers with automation projects of many varieties, from

• short term to long term
• small workgroups to large work groups
• tiny processors to very powerful processors
• embedded functions to active interfaces, like keypads and displays
• simple serial connections to full blown windows interfaces

Soup to nuts!
