Every industry has a unique set of manufacturing requirements, as well as opportunity for innovation. Plekker and Associates pride ourselves on providing the right solutions with vendor independence. This allows us to apply our practical engineering experience with the latest in machine control systems.


Our team has hands-on experience across all current industrial control platforms, as well as legacy platforms. Whether you need a recommendation on how or where to begin, or have an upcoming project, large or small, we're here to guide you from concept to commissioning. 


SERVICES INCLUDE:

​

  • Evaluation, including the technical and business impact of control system choices
  • Design and implementation
  • Build and installation of machine control systems
  • Project management
  • Specification and commissioning of field instrumentation
  • System testing and start-up
  • Training
  • Complete systems support
  • Ongoing control, integration and automation collaboration

Automation systems don’t last forever and eventually show signs of aging. The question you face with older systems is how to address obsolescence as hardware or software becomes outdated.


Obsolete industrial control systems risk unplanned downtime, high repair costs, and increase production errors.


Whether you’re looking for a complete modernization or a phased migration, Plekker and Associates can help you.


Our vast knowledge of components, systems and integration allow us to coordinate the right components for a cost-effective and flexible solution. We can modify standard products, or combine multiple products into simple subassemblies to simplify your machine retrofit.

BENEFITS OF RETROFITTING

Less Expensive Repairs

If you need to repair, it is cheaper and easier to find replacement parts that are still distributed and technically supported. Old, discontinued parts are expensive to source and risk costly and unnecessary downtime.


Small Footprint

New components tend to be smaller and save valuable panel space. Additionally, modern, touch screen capabilities replace the need for complex configurations of buttons and switches paving the way for increased features and capabilities.
