How We Work
We pride ourselves on having the smartest, most creative and well trained staff of anyone in the area. All members of our staff go through an extensive training and apprenticeship program. Further, you are not just getting the attention of one person on our staff. Instead, you are benefiting from our collective knowledge. Every week, for collaboration and advice, our engineers present to the entire staff the applications on which they are working.

Step #1 Technology Assessment
Our goal at AutomationSolutions is to make our clients’ projects successful. We understand there are many ways to solve an application. When we look at your application, we don’t just look at the machine specification to solve the application; we look at the whole picture. Our first question is, “What do you want to accomplish?” Then we work with you to determine how to best accomplish it. In our proposals, we don’t just select components. Our solution is based on your specifications and the following criteria:


Each of these questions helps us to narrow down the components we select. We don’t want to be just your automation supplier; we want to be your automation partner.

Step #2 Budgetary Estimate
Once we have completed our analysis, we prepare a bugetary estimate which we then review with you to make sure we have fully understood and met your needs. After this discussion we prepare a formal quote.

Step #3 The order
Once you place your order we keep you updated with regular status updates and make sure you get what you ordered.

Step #4 Putting it all together
While many companies have the competence in house to put their system together and get it running, in today's world of understaffed engineering departments and tight deadlines we can help with “Project Development Assistance ”. What is Project Development Assistance?

Project Development Assistance (PDA)
Mechanical integration, electrical wiring, motion programming, and commissioning the system is your responsibility, unless you use our Project Development Assistance (PDA). With PDA, you gain access to our experienced motion control engineers at a modest hourly charge to help get you up and running as quickly as possible. You remain in control of the project while we put our development, programming, and construction talents to work for you. PDA can include (but is not limited to) programming the motion controller, bench wiring the controls, setting up the mechanics, and constructing panels or turnkey systems. We’ve seen and done it all before, so using our expertise will save you time and money. Below are a few examples of the PDA we have done for other clients:

Turnkey Machine
AutomationSolutions has responsibility for the entire control system, including mounting components, wiring, and programming.

Complete Panel
This is an electrical panel ready to go. Components are mounted to a backplane inside a cabinet and wired up.

Bench-Wired Example
Electronics are mounted to a backplane so the system is ready for bench testing. We often create a sample or skeleton program to get you started. This minimizes startup time. We do not include fuses, cable tracks, enclosures, etc. with this option.
