Choose how you want to work with us

To make your factory automation software project successful, you can decide the level of engagement up front.

Custom solution development and turnkey solutions

Not all automation challenges can be solved with commercial off-the-shelf software solutions so – with a solid background in factory automation IT systems – we can define and build custom solutions tailored to your specific needs. From initial IT architecture planning and requirements gathering to final support and maintenance of systems in operation, we’ll provide the right solution for your unique factory automation goals.

In turnkey engagements, you can choose from the following services and we will manage the entire software lifecycle:

• A customized Manufacturing Execution System (MES) based on our PEER FACTORY® framework of components or extensions to your existing MES for performance monitoring, maintenance management, or Advanced Process Control (APC).
• Equipment integration (EI) and station controller development.
• Integration with material handling systems for traceability.
• Automation Capabilities Management (ACM) to help device manufacturers understand and overcome standards-related automation issues or to reduce a factory’s start-up costs by accurately documenting automation requirements.
• On-site acceptance testing and equipment troubleshooting to ensure quick and easy acceptance into the automated manufacturing environment.

Co-development

In some cases, you might want to use our products in your development projects and we can help with the implementation. We can handle all of the project management activities so your team can focus their attention elsewhere.

Outsourcing and staff augmentation

Sometimes, you’ll want our engineers to become an integrated part of your team for a specified duration. Our experts can provide manufacturing IT consulting while following your development processes and using your assets. In these types of engagements, our people can work for you remotely from our offices, or they can work at your site for the duration of the project.
